A Big Thank You !!!
We had an incredible response at the Montana State Fair this last week. Sales volume was very good and literally thousands upon thousands of people got to see CatTamboo™ pet toys in action!
We had many responses that I thought were really fun and we learned a lot from our customers (many who have been with us since last year).
My two favorite comments that we got about a dozen times are:
(1) “Are these just plain feathers or do you put something special on them that makes my cat go that crazy?” (These were asked in all seriousness!) Indeed it is interesting what happens when you effectively combine all the primary senses of sight, sound, smell, and taste.
(2) “Oh good, we’ve been looking all over for you! We came to the Fair just to get your cat toy!”
In the evenings, it was fun to watch how some people were captivated by the mysterious bird-thing flying through the air. Some thought it was a bat. On occasion, someone wouldn’t notice (the bat!) until it was near their shoulder and then they would quickly duck and run! I always found that funny!
Especially after their friends got laughing at them 🙂
We got enough of the French tickler comments that I seriously considered putting up a red light for the midnight crowd! I could advertise it with a big question: Red light or Blue light Special?
Then we had the cat people phenomenon which was always funny and happened quite often.
Some wonderfully dynamic individual would pretend to be a cat and leap for the toy!
Soooo fun~! and always good for business! Good times at the Billings MT Fair!
Thank you again for all who stopped by our booth at the Billings MT Fair or took an interest in our pet products. We had a wonderful experience and will definitely be there again next year!
