Today we spent the morning at Echo Valley Ranch, which is a feed store in Auburn CA. We had spoken to Penny a month ago about offering our services to her customers of a free saddle and tack inspection of any saddles and or tack the customers brought to us. This was a twofold thrust, one to promote echo valley customers public relations and two to generate some leather business for the leather shop and get our name out to potential customers. The morning went quite well we were seated on the front deck of the store and greeted the customer as they came in offering business cards and a bit of conversation when they were in the mood for talking. Penny was happy with the program and we were able to pass out more than 50 business cards along with several inquiries about what and where our shop is.
We are also known as "Wild Horse Outpost" I thought it was a clever name since we are located on a road named Wild Horse, but it did not explain what our business was about and Gates Leather Shop seemed all encompasssing so we actually have two names for our endeavors.
