BEXLIVE host a range of events such as Galas and Expos all around the UK all for the support and growth of black businesses no matter the size.
This was an amazing opportunity for Bonnie Lush Hair to meet with other like minded entrepreneurs and business owners enabling us to build on relationships with people we already knew and also develop new ones too!
We set up our table and laid out a few of our hair bundles, our Bonnie Lush Hair Candy Pomade Paste Edge Control and of course our amazing range of 100% Mink Fur Eyelashes and a few of our new Bonnie Lush Hair Boxes!
We were able to interact with all kinds of cool entrepreneurs creating products from bikinis to music boxes and juice drinks! We also ran into a few of our friends from My Ebony Box and Know Hope UK. For any business, it is crucial that something about your brand sets you apart from all other brands. It is a great chance to launch new product ideas, find potential companies to collaborate with and get feedback from the general public.
There was a lady with a mic that went round to each table with a camera were it was streamed live directly to Facebook. Bonnie Lush Hair spoke about the brand and what products there were available on the day with associated deals and discounts.
There was a stage at the event that was used for performers to show us some of their skills, competitions and also live tutorials from hair salons.
The day did overrun as we exhibited from 10am-8pm! But the good thing was this brought an interesting mix of audience throughout the day.
Here are four reasons why you should exhibit if you have your own business and what we learnt from exhibiting at our first ever exhibition event:-
-
It gave us the chance to raise awareness of our brand with new faces even if they weren't customers! This way of interacting is good for your business as they may point you towards a potential customer!
- It gives you the opportunity to create business to business relationships
- It is a fantastic way to start a conversation if you make a connection with someone in the future!
- We were able to meet with our customers face to face and take down their relevant information to keep in touch!
- It taught us what people do and do not want from a hair extensions company by asking them face to face!
Most importantly, we took away a certainty that there is a definite need for Bonnie Lush Hair! There were a lot of people that we had never met before and a few businesses that wanted to keep in touch! The exposure that was offered definitely benefitted Bonnie Lush Hair in a positive way!
To show you just how well it went, we decided to whip out our camera and record exactly what happened on the day! Hope you enjoy it!
