Business had been wonderful!

For a few months now I've been making kettle corn and business is going great. There's a whole bunch of repeat customers at our Springfield Farmers Market who've been doing nuts waiting for us to start up again. The Framingham Farmers Market has started up again and that location has its own loyal customers.

We've started to meet a bunch of friendly people who are always working at these kind of markets. We dont often get a chance to speak to others around us because selling kettle corn is a very busy endevour. Some of the people who work there are on camera and they really enjoy being in my funny kettle corn blog. Recently a mail order customer found a 5 month of bag of our product and this person actually enjoyed eating the thing. We were kind of skeptical because if it's over a week old, we won't touch the thing. In a little while we may start online sales, but it takes a lot of work to prepare everything for shipping.

One popping location in particular was a disappointment because we ended up in a lousy spot through bad planning. We really got our butts handed to us at this location and I doubt we'll ever go back there again. You live and learn with these types of kettle corn events while keeping an eye out for bad business decisions like this.

It seems like people trust our opinions in this business because I recommended a tent awning at my blog site. These people are known as EZ UP Canopies by Fred, a maker of tent awnings which on a lousy day, are great for keeping the rain out of your tent. I had done a video on my blog on them which was pretty silly in keeping with our goofy theme. They ended up using that video on their webpage and it made us feel pretty good about all of our efforts in promoting our kettle corn business.
