I want to start selling mobile phone power packs at festivals / public events.

Before I just start calling the 'trade sales' lines at various events, does anyone know of any good events that are easy to get into for me to trial this idea?

Ok, going to do a trial with the general public tomorrow night.

Heading to a gig and going to try and sell on the street at the end of the event.

I know you get lots of people selling fake t-shirts and the Police don't really seem to care - will it end up with us getting a telling off?

Aim will be to see if there is a market for this and also to get some promo pictures / video for marketing moving forward!

Wish me luck!

It was pretty bad! Sold 6 at £10 and about 10 at a £5 - was there for 20 minutes after the gig.

Would have sold more at the start of the gig I think!

Taking out fuel, people with me, Nandos for everyone and beers it was a disaster hehe

Back to the drawing board!

That's not even the half of it!

The thought process was people getting in touch with people AFTER they had been filming etc the gig.

In reality everyone was off their face and just making a run for the last train however we did have a number of people who were meeting people for lifts etc that had no battery and we were 'lifesavers'.

I think we might get a better result with day 'mini' festivals and a better price point!
