hey everyone David with the freeze dried
0:02
business YouTube channel hey I am in
0:05
Kuna Idaho yeah it's known to be a more
0:08
agricultural area of out just outside of
0:11
Boise Idaho where I'm based and uh I'm
0:13
at a new type of event that I'm going to
0:16
be doing for the first time and I don't
0:18
usually do events just with family time
0:20
and my full-time job as well as this
0:22
Channel and the freeze dry business I
0:24
just don't get to do very many events
0:25
but this event they had an option to be
0:28
inside this barn and be a non-manned
0:32
bender now if you can do that I think
0:34
it's really highly visible area and also
0:37
just limits the amount of frequency that
0:39
you have to be at these types of events
0:41
because as you know if you're part of
0:42
events as a free stripe business owner
0:44
you know that time commitment is a big
0:46
deal and it either impacts whether you
0:49
do an event or not but you can make
0:51
great money on these events depending on
0:53
how much traffic now this event is
0:56
really cool because it's at this Barn
0:58
that they've got on their property and
1:00
and it's called the nook and cranny barn
1:02
and it's Thursday through Saturday so a
1:04
three-day event they're open basically
1:06
eight hours each day inside what I'm
1:09
going to show you is all of the
1:11
different types of products that I have
1:13
a question I get asked a lot and I also
1:15
see on a lot of the Facebook forums is
1:17
you know as I'm preparing for an event
1:19
like this you know how many products
1:22
should I actually be bagging and
1:23
expecting because I really don't know if
1:25
it's your first time or even when it's
1:28
your second time they may be doing a lot
1:29
of advertising the second time around
1:31
and you get a ton of people well in my
1:34
opinion it's okay to sell out now you
1:36
don't want to sell out in the first day
1:38
obviously but selling out is actually a
1:40
good thing it means that you actually
1:42
had high demand for your products people
1:44
were seeking out and wanting it so what
1:46
I would do if you start having scarce
1:48
inventory is have marketing available
1:50
have your business cards have your
1:52
website maybe even have a discount code
1:54
displayed on your table so that if they
1:58
say hey if we're out of anything go to
1:59
my website go to my email call me or
2:02
we'll do free pickup things like that or
2:04
if you're in wholesale tell them about
2:06
different locations that you have so
2:08
that's what I've got set up in my booth
2:09
so let's go ahead and take a look and
2:11
see how I've displayed it and that way
2:13
you know maybe gives you some ideas of
2:15
how to do your own booth with a future
2:18
event right we are inside the barn and
2:20
what I really like about this place is
2:22
it's very quaint and intimate and
2:25
there's a lot of just space between the
2:28
different vendors and so again I hadn't
2:32
done this event before so I don't really
2:34
know what to expect in terms of what
2:36
products going to go really fast and
2:37
what products is not going to go fast
2:40
because I plan to do it next year or
2:43
it'll help me with future events come
2:45
the fourth quarter when there's the
2:46
holidays right one of the things I
2:48
invested in last year when I did some of
2:50
my first events because I just really
2:52
didn't do that I just stuck with my
2:54
wholesale retail locations and my
2:55
website what I invested in was this
2:58
pegboard and I think it's really handy
3:00
if you can get some of these hooks
3:01
because it displays the product really
3:03
nicely I've got my ice cream here I've
3:05
also got different candies I got Taffy
3:08
caramel M M's hi chews all the things
3:10
that I've shown you in different videos
3:11
on my YouTube channel so if you haven't
3:13
gone to those videos go ahead and take a
3:15
look I've also got a bunch of the
3:17
healthy stuff as well blueberries
3:19
strawberries raspberries pineapple I've
3:23
also done a new mixed bag of strawberry
3:27
bananas I'm really hoping that this does
3:29
really well now something I did
3:31
differently this time around too is I
3:32
did some snack size bags because as you
3:35
know with kids and with parents we all
3:38
don't want them to have the entire bag
3:39
because that's what they're going to go
3:40
after right so for the Ice Cream
3:42
Sandwich bites I've got them in small
3:44
bags and then I've also got the uh the
3:47
blueberry bag so I'm going to kind of
3:49
see how those go hey one of the
3:50
questions that gets asked a lot is how
3:52
do you price your product so for this
3:53
type of event I've priced everything
3:55
pretty much at about nine to ten dollars
3:57
and some of the higher end type of
3:58
candies like Charleston Chews High chews
4:00
that cost a little bit more and I have
4:02
to do a little bit more labor with
4:04
cutting all that is priced at ten
4:06
dollars I also priced my Skittles at ten
4:08
dollars as well because the prices have
4:10
gone up two dollars per bag that I buy
4:13
in bulk especially at Costco things like
4:15
that now the ice cream I've priced at 12
4:17
and I put about 2.75 net ounces in my
4:21
bags it's plenty it gives you about 12
4:24
to 14 individual bite size
4:26
a little balls of ice cream right this
4:29
is my booth now it's an eight foot by
4:31
four foot area so kind of from the side
4:33
angle here it allows me to put my
4:36
pegboard right here so I can display my
4:38
product and then I've also got two
4:40
tables or you can use just a straight
4:42
eight foot table and what you're seeing
4:44
here is my banner that I purchased I
4:46
think that works really well you should
4:48
probably get one of those that way you
4:49
don't have to have too many signs or
4:51
anything you just have a tablecloth to
4:53
display your brand and then I've got a
4:55
couple of wire baskets to put the
4:57
Skittles in and then I've also got wire
4:59
baskets to put more fruit in and then
5:02
I've got the table that displays all the
5:04
different types of candies and things
5:06
now underneath the tables I've also got
5:10
uh some totes that I bought at Costco as
5:12
well as some totes that I that I have
5:14
just to carry around that I have and
5:17
that's where I've got all the rest of
5:18
the product and fortunately here some of
5:21
the gals are going to help me restock so
5:23
if they see the pegboards get kind of
5:25
small and there's only one item they're
5:26
gonna graciously help me restock well
5:29
that's the setup for my booth I hope
5:30
that was helpful just showing you one
5:32
how I'm arranging it what I bought
5:34
because I don't do a lot of events you
5:37
know I'm totally new to this so if
5:39
something else works for you and you've
5:41
got better options go ahead and do that
5:43
I just wanted to show you through this
5:44
YouTube channel you know what's
5:46
happening here in Idaho what's happening
5:48
through my business with freeze dry
5:49
Depot and so if this is helpful please
5:52

5:54

5:56
think I should do differently I'm always
