What gives you direction in life?
Month-At-A–Glance shared document gives me a clue and my spouse can update it. Our dry-erase board plans out our workflow…. 7 days at 1 go.
We’re at the market today. Drop by and shop local, eh.
Tag: Owen Sound
Every time we set up a sales booth! April 25th ✅
When is the last time you took a risk? How did it work out?
We want to offer dog treats, comfortable (pup) jackets, 3D printed kit, paw wax, books, and human-hats. And that means selling our wares. Success? Ask us again at the end of the season!!
If we go to markets, will the dogs be happy?
Jot down the first thing that comes to your mind.
…potentially, yes. Black Dog Biscuits has to be at your local farmer’s or crafting-makers market and set up sales booths.
Even if all we get to do is let your leashed pup try a sample, that’s how cottage industries work. No guarantees.
We’re prototyping a CAT TREAT for Felinus domesticus. Its product name will be 50/50 Cat Treats. “Will your cat like the treat?… … … meh, there’s a 50/50 chance that YES, your house-cougar will like it”.
Test market results: yep, that’s what’s indeed occurring. Meanwhile, the household dog goes bonkers for them (because they recognize the BDB packaging).

so, who’s going to be offering their wares at the event?
There’s over 60 booths at this year’s event. I’ll add my impressions of my favourite vendors in my blog. My opinions are my own (and are supportive, 0% snark). I RESPECT ALL THE PEOPLE WHO ARE TAKING THE RISK TO SHOW OFF THEIR WARES. This event is a celebration of small business owners. Come on by and check it out, eh.
