Words from our CEO…
Cambodian Threads was down at Connecticut College’s Harvest Fest on Saturday, October 22nd. As an Alumni of Connecticut College from the class of 2008, I was excited to attend the event. We brought down a ton of merchandise and were well prepared for a display. I was able to modify a “scarf tree” of sorts using a closet rod with a staircase of dowels drilled in, all held up by a Christmas tree stand (thanks Michael for the help!). The scarves hung from the dowels and allowed our customers to view the products effortlessly. Our table ran smoothly with the support of friends I had made in Vietnam – students who had studied abroad in Hanoi – that currently attend my alma mater. Erin, Brooke, Duy, and Dave played a big role in supporting Cambodian Threads during the event. A few items sold really well some new models went like hot cakes. Look out for our Ulrike Blend, Black and White Krama, Autumn Blend, and sleek new ties!
We had many interested customers and, with our pamphlets and stories, we provided them with as much information as possible. I completely ran out of business cards not long into the festival – the networking was going well. It was cool to see the reaction from professors who played such an important role in my development process. Everyone seemed to be pretty enthusiastic about Cambodian Threads. I can’t wait to participate in more similar events this fall and winter!
