I know, not a very imaginative title but I thought it could become a piece of music - perhaps Mozart (my favourite classical composer) would have turned it into an opera? Or my other favourite composer/singer, Freddie Mercury, could have made something great out of it. Sadly, neither of them are around, so it will have to remain just the title of this week's blog post.
A soggy week for everyone and aren't those pictures of the West Country heartbreaking? It is hard to imagine what it must be like to lose your home, and for some having to give up their farm animals and their livelihoods, but it is an experience I really want to avoid. We are lucky in Surrey - yes, I know it is bad in some places and the bottom of our garden is permanently under water at the moment, but on the whole we have faired well. Let's hope it stays that way.
Welcome to my two new followers: Dawn and Jill. Both supporters of the Godalming Independent Markets and both create beautiful work.
Another busy week with the Surrey Independent Market events - I feel as though most of the week has seen me chained to the computer. The new banner has been designed, ordered and is on its way and here is the final design:
This is the banner which will be placed outside of the the Godalming Borough Hall for the week prior to each event. The date of each event will be added as necessary.
In addition to completing and ordering the banner, I have also designed and ordered 1,000 fliers. Most of these will be used for letter box drop in the residential area around the borough hall. Others are destined to be included in goody bags that are distributed at other events - some organisers offer this to other event organisers and for a small fee it is a great way to increase promotion. Some more will be left at venues that have agreed to hand them out for me. I have also bought some spotty bunting and balloons - pink, green, yellow and blue. I will add these to the display outside the borough hall and also in the entrance hall, which always seems rather dark and uninviting.
Details of the Godalming Markets have been added to Streetlife - if you haven't come across this yet, it really is worth a look. My interpretation is that it is like a very local Twitter. You can advertise, promote, engage friends and neighbours and find out lots of information about local activities that you might not have heard of. I have added information about all the Godalming dates and the good news is that the listing will be seen/accessed by just over 2,000 people. How lovely it would be if they all came to the markets - well, not all at once, but you never know.
Posting today as my 'other me' blog (Christmas Pie Crafts) is written and posted on Sundays and it was getting a little tricky to fit both of them in on the same day.
Time to unglue my fingers from the keyboard - I will be back next weekend with more information on how things are progressing for the Godalming Markets. Don't forget to leave a comment and do get in touch if you would like to be a guest blogger.
Have a good week everyone.
Jill

Love the new banner, very eye catching and a lot of fun.
A thought for you: One of the other craft fairs I have a stall at always send out leaflets/posters to all stall holders approx 10 days before the event to distribute in their local area to get the word out.

A request for promotional support by way of flier display/distribution by stallholders is included in the Confirmation of Booking letter and so far everyone has been really positive and agreed to taking promotional material.
