You should go to the trade shows

We’re headed home today – and a few people told me Trade Shows weren’t necessary but hot damn, that’s definitely a moment of change and opportunity

The chance to chat with distributors and learn about a million different models of distribution means that I don’t have to settle for some of the brands that drive me a little nuts. 

The opportunity to eat with brand owners and shop owners is a relationship all on its own that you can’t duplicate on the internet

And as a small town rural boutique owner the chance to discover brands and products in real life – I can’t just find a bigger baby store or visit a show room. I got to feel things and see things IRL that just now know will be a fit for @nestandsprout.ca

All to say, go to a trade show. I knew that going to PR conferences. 

But maybe don’t take your husband, he’s great but a bit of a party pooper when it comes to socializing. Next year I’ll try to bring a member of the team and I’ll be sure to stay at the conference hotel.

This is probably the last time I tandem nursed. I don’t remember when or how the nursing relationship ended, it just fleeted away slowly and I kind of get the sad thinking about it right now. For most of my 4 years of breastfeeding, I wore the same nursing sleep bra until it pretty much […]

Nest & Sprout is a Service

A friend stopped into the shop this weekend, and our conversation still sits with me. She had been an integral part of my early days in motherhood, and we chatted about how what the shop is not about the product but about the service.  And it’s that service of retail that I need to sit […]
