Cinnamon & Spice Attend Expo

Cinnamon and Spice participated in the 9th annual W.O.M.E.N.'s expo in Fayetteville, North Carolina this past Friday and Saturday. What a rewarding experience! Not only did we receive positive feedback on our work, we were able to network and exchange ideas with both novice and seasoned business owners. The exchange of information and education we received from this event were invaluable. We embraced new ideas on enhancing displays (as you can see from our photos), marketing, and best practices. We put the fresh ideas into play immediately. We spruced up our display by adding rich fabric with staging underneath. We introduced a number of paperbag and fabric scrapbooks, tins, picture frames, new selections from our vintage card line, mini pillow kids, and crocheted rings. One of our most exciting moments was the sell of our hot new items...paperbag scrapbooks and minipillow kids! Everyone involved in this event benefited in a BIG way. I would suggest that every entrepreneur take advantage of similar events. We met new friends at this event, too many to name them all. These are just a few of the folks we'd like to thank for their support:
