Weekend Recap

This past weekend proved to be a very busy one. We were at the Grey Fox Gallery in downtown Bozeman for the Gallery Walk on Friday and had our normal weekend events. I was a bit anxious for the gallery event while unloading our trailer and was not really sure how it would be taken. It was our first event -- besides the Bogert Farmers Market -- that put Cafe Evoke Catering in the public eye. It is somewhat like the feeling I assume we will have who we open the cafe. Will people like our product? Our service? Our atmosphere?

While the Bogert Market was not a huge success for us in either our money sales or interested in our services, the gallery walk was great. The walk was from 6:00 pm to 8:00 pm and we were busy with a line until about 9:00 pm. There was a great sense of acceptance and excitement from people that came in and we had a chance to meet people and hand out 50-75 brochures with a handful of people asking for price sheets and more information.

I feel that we need to have some sort of way to keep tracking of customers that are interested -- a guestbook, drawing, comment box, etc -- so that we can follow up with them. I did get a few business cards but I know there were more people that were interested, at least for more information.

We are in the process of re-organizing our home office and building a new desk that will be done today. Once this is complete, I will begin getting things back in order. We have to get our books cleaned up and get a forecast for the next several months. I am going to need to "hire" someone as we begin to get a bit more busy and it will be important that we know what we can afford and how it will work into our budget.

Although we have not crested even the first mountain stage of this journey, I feel that we are getting close. I am shooting for 3-5 full service events for next month (hopefully more). The summer months are slow so I want to have a running start at September-October when it gets chilly in Montana.
