So I had this business expo that I took part in tonight. I set up my table of Creative Memories stuff and was prepared to tell everyone how wonderful Creative Memories is and how awesome it is to celebrate your memories. I mean, who doesn’t want to get their pictures into albums and look at them? Why take pictures if they are going to sit in a drawer?? I got a couple of contacts tonight, which is a good thing…but get a load of my night!!
The expo started at 6:30pm. The first person to walk through the door was a man…alone. Not really typical of these business expo events. Business expo is another way of saying “Calling all Women Shoppers”. So this guy walks up to my table and proceeds to talk my ear off for like 45 mins. Telling me how he has a HUGE drawer FILLED with pictures that he doesn’t know what to do with. At first I thought he was pulling my leg. I mean, one of first conversation starters you use with people who approach you is something like “so where are all your pictures?” or something like that. So to have this guy come up to me and just tell me…it was kind of odd.
Anyway, the rest of our conversation is even better. I show him our Power Sort Box and tell him out nice it would be if he could get is pictures into something like that because the Power Sort Box will protect the pictures from turning yellow, etc. He then asks me if I would sort them for him. His exact words were “if I brought you the drawer, would you be able to organize them for me” to which I said “I can do that but I wouldn’t know what goes together”…and what was said next made me kinda dirty.
“Well maybe you can come over or we meet and organize them together”…wait for it…and I said “that’s fine. I do charge hourly for that”. I paused after saying that, realizing that I just made myself sound like a hooker. A memory celebrating hooker. He took my card. We’ll see if he calls!
One one side of me I had the Tastefully Simple lady and her beer bread was to die for. In fact, she sent me home with bread she didn’t set out and this really good tomato and pesto dip. Mmmm!
On the other side of me, a few tables down, was the Pure Romance Lady. I have to say, I have never laughed so hard as I did when I saw an old lady pick up the Tingling Nipple Balm. The look on her face when she read the name of it and then when the light bulb clicked as to what you do and what it must feel like…priceless. I spoke with the Pure Romance lady for quite awhile and she sent me home with free samples of lube. Gotta love free lube!! After looking at the catalog, I have to say, the Like a Virgin cream is rather intriguing to me!
