Show My Way - Nanaimo Gem and Mineral Show

Wednesday, June 7, 2017 at 10:24 am -0700 /

In the third week of May, we travel to Nanaimo for the gem and mineral show for the first time. It is a quiet and beautiful harbour city. We are pleased to be invited because we had great experience in Victoria and we know there are many jewellery artists on the island. We want to meet them, to let them know that we are a local findings supplier.

Booth Display
 
It is a bit unfortunate that we cannot set up our booth on the day before. Therefore, we have to wake up very early to make sure we have everything ready before the customers come in. It's very nice for the organizer to arrange a volunteer to help us set up.
 
Lots of Customers show up in the show

 
Once everything is ready and the front door is opened, the stadium is packed. It is surprising to see so many people in a small city. Looks like the organizer did a great job advertising. We are very grateful to introduce ourselves to the new customers in this beautiful city. It takes time for them to build the trust with us. Overall the show is better than we expected.
Lots of oysters

Above are some gorgeous views from this lovely harbour city. We can't wait to come back here next year.

Another Wonderful Experience Exhibiting at the Surrey Rockhound Club Gem Show October 2018
As the show flyer said "Fun for the Whole Family", indeed it was!There was a lots of ongoing fun with several raffles and the many activities for everyone attending the show.We had visits from our existing customers and new customers all shopping for inspiration and to complete their jewellery designs with our products. Some used our free stone setting service and enjoyed learning to set their own stones or having their beautiful stones into our settings findings by a professional stone setter.Our display booth at the Surrey Rockhound Club Gem Show October 2018Customers shopping at our booth at the Surrey Rockhound Club Gem Show October 2018A glance at our stone setter at work at the Surrey Rockhound Club Gem Show October 2018A customer getting help with selecting the right setting for his stone at the Surrey Rockhound Club Gem Show October 2018

Show My Way - London Gem & Mineral Show

Show My Way - London Gem & Mineral Show
The last show in November is the London Gem & Mineral Show. The show is located in London, ON. It is approximately 2-3 hours drive from Toronto. We finally can rest for a few days. We visited the biggest mall in Toronto - The Yorkdale Mall. It literally has all the stores that I could think of.  The show has a very interesting live auction. The host is one of our vendors. He is very professional in the auction. When he speaks, we can barely hear what he's talking about because he speaks so fast.  We love going to shows like this one, and it's always a bonus when you can find a new wholesale customer. Lucky for us, we meet a new friend this time. They are actually vendors too. We found out that a large percentage of our wholesale customers we have are found when doing shows together with us.  Toronto is so pretty at night!!The two weeks business trip ends here, now we are heading back to Vancouver for our last show of the year.

Show My Way - Delta Rockhound Gem & Mineral Show
Nelson was away that week, so Marble and I manned the booth on our own, and this blog post fell to me to write.The Delta Rockhounds put on their gem & mineral show in the South Delta Recreation Center so besides all the wonderful gemstones & sundry, we were fortunate enough to see some hockey, some figure skating practice in the adjacent ice rink, and even a ceramics craft fair in one of the other showrooms! In the gem show proper, of particular note was the terrific line-up of demonstrations on subjects as diverse as lampwork beadmaking to freeform stone carving to gold panning! The club members also hosted a terrific baked goods table as well (the cranberry scones were delicious!).All in all we had a terrific time; made lots of new friends, got reacquainted with several long-time friends among vendors and customers alike, set lots of stones and most importantly made lots of people happy!
