With mixed feelings I took up a last minute (cheap!) deal for a stand at Autosports. Last minute? 4:15 the night before it opened!
So off we went to promote Uvex and sell some stuff to try and cover the costs.....objectives met! Despite having the wrong stock with me (Doh!), despite not having much stock (wasn't expecting to go after all!), despite the credit crunch...against all expectations I met some good potential clients and sold some stuff as well.
Show had improved, lot more focus on the sport, less on "souping up" cars for noise and style rather than outright speed around a circuit. Interesting displays, good to see a whole stand devoted to my hero, Ronnie Peterson. Plus TWO Lotus 72s with his name on the sife and an F3 car. Terrific.
Interesting point though, as credit gets crunched, cash is king. Of all our sales only two were by card - and they were debit card, not credit card. Mmmmm, maybe all that money thrown at the banks isn't enough to get the public trusting them. Whatever, I'm happy to receive them!
Oh, just thought....new web site started this week....watch out for www.racewear.co.uk changing!
