Show Success
The 45th Red Deer Sportsman & Outdoor Adventure Show March 4th, 5th & 6th that I was invited to attend by the show promoters was a great success for me!
Sold 108 pens over the 3 days. Mostly Rifle Cartridge Bullet Pens along with a few Feather and Tied Flies and Feathers.
Sold 8-50 Caliber pens which really surprised me.
I was approached with some great marketing opportunities by a couple of Hunting and Fishing Lodge businesses to supply Rifle Cartridge Bullet pens, Feather and Tied Fly and Feather pens.
Was also asked if I would be willing to get my products into the Asian market.
I was asked by many businesses if I had a website, which I don't, and had offers to help me set up a website at no cost to me.
Oh, to be 21 again!
The show promoters invited me to attend next years show.

Well done Les. 108 pens sold is a great effort, I think all of us would be a little envious of that record.
Thats a great looking display you have.
