It’s 12.00 and I’ve started writing as a way to focus my
mind. People seem more receptive when I’m not actively promoting the stand, but
idly tapping away, which is another bonus. I’m going to move the boxes from
behind this chair to make it more comfortable. It’s hard to decide where to
settle. If folk look puzzled I can tell them it’s a cover for a washing line
but other approaches seem doomed to failure. Being in a shell like this you
only get a very brief view of the passing individual; a five second walk past.
I’m going to stand at the front to see if it’s any better from an engagement
point of view.
More interaction all of a sudden, I still haven’t stood out
at the front. Brief bursts of interest and long periods of gawping without
understanding. I just engaged with my second genuinely interested punter. Then
standing to the side of the frontage adjacent to the mini chalet I had an
intense ten minute spell of chatting, which quite lifted me. Two people wanted
the show offer so I gave them the secret discount code. But I can’t say what it
is, or it wouldn’t be a secret any more…
