Nine June's Summer Tour 2018 is now over, and it's time for me to take stock of this eventful summer.
As a reminder, I started this first edition of the Summer Tour by exhibiting my products in the new store in Vevey, the ID Pop-Up Store. It was a success. Riding on the novelty of the store and its great location, Nine June products interested and challenged passers-by. A magnificent experience that I am already looking forward to reliving!
After Vevey and its magnificent lakeside, I left for the fresh air by going to Les Diablerets to exhibit my products at the International Alpine Film Festival. It was in the festival boutique that I was able to exhibit my products for several days. This week allowed me to introduce bags and accessories to another audience. An enriching experience full of discoveries.
The Summer Tour will not have been a long, quiet river. Yes, as soon as I got off the mountain, I set up the Nine June tent at the Waterings Contest. A competition of surprising discipline: swinging rings mixed with diving, installed on a pontoon on the banks of Lake Montreux. A sunny and lively weekend, which allowed me, in addition to offering two bags to the winners of one of the competition disciplines, to also sell many of my products.
The next stop on our Summer Tour was the Villeneuve Acro Show. The Acro Show welcomed us for three days for an acrobatic program and an extraordinary show. High-flying performances with paragliders and helicopters which created a beautiful atmosphere during these 3 days. Despite less clement weather, sales and good humor were there.
At the end of August, the last edition of a magnificent event took place: Ride For The Cause. For this occasion, Nine June and the organizing committee have designed a limited edition bag, sold throughout the weekend. A Nine June bag, with a Ride For The Cause logo to mark this tenth and final edition. A weekend under the clouds, but successful!
While the Summer Tour was due to end, two new events were added to the summer list: The Montreux Tattoo Convention and the Fête des Vendanges in Neuchâtel. During these two events, I was able to present the products to a new audience, who had little or no knowledge of the Nine June brand.
A summer full of surprises, discoveries and encounters which brought me a lot of pleasure and satisfaction! Now it's time to set up the next dates, but this time it will be the Winter Tour 2018-2019.
