The day we had to sell our bowls was an exciting experience.
When we got to the markets I really did not know what to expect, but just kept
an enthusiastic outlook no matter what happens.
It was a great experience having to set up our designed
fruit bowls and packaging as our own brand. On the day, we had the freedom to
express our sale ideas however we want. For me this was an advantageous
experience as I have never done it before for my own design.
The highlight of the day I must say is having to talk to a
diverse group of people who were very enthusiastic about the fact that UTS
student are selling their work at the markets. One lady in particular told me
how excited she was to see young and upcoming designers at the market as she
says it’s good to have new material in the market world.
In terms of sale, I sold 4 out of 10 bowls. It would be easy
to say that this was a disappointing result, but I’d rather see it as a
learning curb for me. Obviously I would have loved to sell more bowls, but at
the end of the day I learned that hard work and a better consideration of who
I’m selling to is always important if I want to have a successful sale. I take
this experience as an event I won’t forget as I pursue a career in the design
and production industry.
