The 3 C’s of small business
The 3 C’s of Small Business:
Community, Customers, and Creativity
Community
At the core of TreeLilys INC is the philosophy of “Community over Competition”: I view all other vendors as one big community and strive to help them in any way I can. Introduce myself to vendor neighbors, remember their names and offer to help set their tent up. See if they need anything. Is there stuff flying off their table in the wind? Offer to help secure their product. Leave a positive lasting impression on the event and grab their card.
Customers
Pop ups are an extremely valuable source of revenue and outreach to potential commission clients and other opportunities within the community and beyond. Everyone who walks by and enters the booth should feel welcomed and invited to look around or purchase products.
Creativity
What makes my small business different? That is the million dollar question.There are many, many creative people in this world. There are many, many savvy entrepreneurs, too. In my experience, my success is created when I balance the business and creative minds. Envision and execute.
