Hi everyone, since a few people took an interest in my business and asked me to keep you all updated here goes... I've now got a facebook group page www.facebook.com/cliftonts which I will be using for 'today only' type offers and news updates, feel free to join up, it's kinda lonel in there right now!
At the Bristol fair yesterday it was a series of highs and lows. I got some very closed minded views from some of the other traders and it's tough going connecting with the public and getting them to play with the machines. It's early days yet and I'm trying something different every time. However I am getting a number of people talking to me about their linux experiences, my favourite so far being the guy who told me that he uses ubuntu at work but doesn't have it at home so wanted a CD. I also got caught out comparing prices with the neighbouring stall, I found I was a bit cheaper, he countered telling me that his are better because a fully licensed copy of Windows comes pre-installed. I assured him I wouldn't hold it against him and left it at that. The biggest challenge today is the big purchases where I get 'But I've never seen you here before, how do I know you'll be back if I have a problem with it'. All I can do is continue spreading the word and getting to know the crowd.
