After Quilt Market

Once you’re in the thick of Quilt Market, there are some things you can do to really make the most of it. Here are 5 things to do after you leave every night, and after you get home when it’s all said and done.

Every night enter in the contact information for the people you got business cards from. Doing it every night makes it much more manageable. Not only that, you will have a better chance of remembering who the people are and the conversation you had with them.
Document your experience with social media. Post some of those pictures or videos you took during the day! Share with others what you’ve been up to. Not everyone can make it to Quilt Market, so spread the love, and build your following.

We shared in our Newsletter. (Another reason to sign up on our email list!)

Connect with the people you met. Send a quick email to follow up on the visits you had while at market. Even if it is just to say thank you for their opinion, make that connection.
Write down your own list of do’s and don’ts for the next time. Write down what you’ve learned too, and save it for the next time you go.
Do what you committed to others to do. Now is the time to make good on your promises. If you told someone you’d check out their website, do it! If you told someone you’d send them a sample, follow-through. This can be hard once you get home and are playing catch up on your regular duties, but it’s important – and it’s worth it!
