What was I thinking???
Tomorrow morning I am attending a breakfast networking event for 25 local businesses. My mate Ady has organised it and invited me to attend, as he thinks I might have an untapped corporate market I should explore. Hopefully it will find me some new customers, so who knows where it might lead.
One thing that has really surprised me since starting Wendy Bakes, is that the path I thought the business would take has not turned out to be the route I seem to be following! As I have said in previous posts, I thought my business model was going to be business to individual, but I would say my bread and butter is actually a couple of small businesses which I managed to acquire in the first few weeks of trading (its who you know...not what you know!).
Having said that, my personal customer base is steadily growing, with a number of repeat customers, and the mix keeps things interesting and varied. One lady even asked me this week what my Christmas offering was going to be as she is planning ahead! Luckily for her, I am a self proclaimed 'Mrs Christmas' and have already started getting excited about what my festive bakes might include! Might get through the summer holiday before I start my practice bakes!!!
So I am keeping an open mind to all opportunities, and shall go along tomorrow with my business cards and my best 'chat'.
The only issue might be...it starts at 6.30am!!! I know saying yes to everything is a good thing, but really I should learn to ask for the small print before I agree to things!
Might need to go to bed now!
