No table kit for mine, LOD had no clue if they had one or not.
It's a ST so grabbed a trusty demo table and wheeled it out to grocery entrance (near food avenue).
Begged three different employees for price signage but got no response. The signs do make a difference of encouraging sales.
I had 12 (yes TWELVE) boxes of 50 sample packs (total 600 packs).
Ran out at 3:45 but luckily another Target employee demo person gave me her extra Monster Bites that she was done demoing. Opened up boxes and gave out 160 more samples until I cleaned up at 4:50.
Yep it was busy, busy , busy! Brand new ST that opened last Sunday.
Same store I was at on Thursday with a disaster of a demo area.. someone re organized and stocked it well. YEAH! Another store to add to my faves list!
Parking lot was packed, beautiful warm day compared to the past week of chilly windy weather but no more Twins games to interrupt shoppers.
They kept running out of grocery carts so I had a captive audience while they waited for more carts.
At some point during my demo they restocked product, have no clue how many I sold except the two taken from my table. Made a "guessetimate" for paper work. I did not include the numbers for Monster Bites to make it easier for me and TMT.
For those doing ST events-- do NOT close demo tables by yourself ! A Target employee demo person had a table fall on her while putting it away today. Just a bad bump/bruise but have heard of others getting broken toes. I always tell the Target employees that MC people are not allowed to put up or break down tables.
Now for a whole week of ST events-- money is good!
