At Coburg FM

Market has just opened (eightish) when my first customer, a young gentleman, walks directly to the stall.
YG: Hi, I saw the FB post about this and was so intrigued, I just gotta taste it.
Me: Yes, please do. (I give him a spoonful of PM with Berries)
YG: Ummmmmmmmm (that familiar sound that is music to my ears) that is DELICIOUS!!
Me: Thank you! Glad you like it! Would you like to taste the other one? (PM with Citrus & Ginger) YG: No, that’s ok I’m happy with this. I’ll take one small bag to start. Are you gonna be here next month?
Me: Yes, every 4th Saturday I will be here.
YG: Great! Good to know. (quickly exits the FM—he just came for PM!)

What a wonderful start to the day!

This is an update on #2–Mum with 2 young girls and their “Mystery Box” challenge

Me: So what did you make for the “Mystery Box” challenge?
Mum: I made apple crumble with Pink Muesli topping! So yummy! Your Pink Muesli has inspired my girls. Now they want it on everything! They also want more pink in their food lol! Last night I made noodles with grated beetroot for pink noodles, they loved it! Do you have a list of ways to have Pink Muesli?
Me: Yes, I have an entire album on FB. Also there’s a link on my the Pink Muesli website “Fun Ways to Enjoy Pink Muesli”.
Mum : Great! I will check it out, I’m sure the girls would love it! Can’t wait for your Coconut Caramel Crunch, that’s another winner!

I beam from ear-to-ear. Gotta luv it!

Phone rings, lovely lady on the line.

LL: I had your muesli this morning and it is absolutely beautiful! Do you have a store or do you just do the markets?
Me: I have a home store in Blampied and I’m open all the time.
LL: Great! I’ll come by one of these days to pick up a bag or two. Do you eat it yourself?
Me: Of course! The whole reason why I started making it is because beetroot has helped reduce my high blood pressure and halved my medication!
LL: Goodness! I have high blood pressure too! I just been to see my doctor and he says my BP is normal, must be because of Pink Muesli!!??
Me: (happy laugh) Could very well be.
LL: Well, I will tell all my friends about it and hope you come to our market too!

From Online Store:

Online Customer orders a big bag of PM with Berries
Me: How did you hear about PM?
OLC: My Mum lives in Clunes and got a small bag to try. I was visiting her at the time. Liked it so much I just had to have it. (lives in Sydney)
Distance is not an issue, we have the technology yay!

From Home Store walk in:

Nicely dressed lady: I drive by here all the time and I keep wondering what “Pink Muesli” is. (I have a big road sign) So I made a U-ey this time and decided to find out once and for all. What is it? Me: It’s beetroot muesli…(I go into my short spiel)
NDL: Oh! I love beetroot. Never had it in muesli. You make it yourself?
Me: Yep, me myself and I right here. Would you like to taste? I have two varieties available.
NDL: No need, I’ll take one of each. (takes 2 large bags)
Me: Great! Thank you so much! (I do a little dance when she’s gone)

From Lara FM

Two young ladies were tasting the Pink Muesli and immediately started making “Mmmm, yummmm…delicious!!” noises. Third lady who was quietly waiting her turn while inspecting the products pulls out a bill and says “I’ll take a bag please.” Ladies 1 & 2 then turn to her and ask surprised “Have you had a taste yet?”. To which lady #3 declares “No need. You sold me.” LOL how good is that?!!!

They all end up buying a bag each. Gotta love it

Best customer review came from a gorgeous family, Mum & her two young girls, who gleefully told me that they have selected Pink Muesli for their “Mystery Box” challenge for dinner (yes, they are indeed massive fans of MasterChef Australia!!! How good is that?? Good luck Mum! Whatever you make, you can’t miss with Pink Muesli!

From Clunes FM

A nicely dressed gentleman stops in front of the stall, reads the signs and asks “What is it??!!” quite incredulously.
Me: It’s beetroot muesli, come have a taste?
G: Naah.
Me: And why don’t you want a taste? You never know what it’s like unless you try it.
He tastes both, starts nodding and makes. “Mmm, yummm” noises, pulls out a big bill. But before he could make the commitment, the stall gets inundated with curious folk wanting a free taste. I see him quickly put the bill back in his pocket and he starts walking off with his friends who have joined him by then.

He comes back an hour later.
Me: You’re back! (big smile on my face)
G: Yes, I am. (even bigger smile on his face)

He then gives me the big bill and says “I’ll take two please.”
I am stunned and couldn’t help saying, “Wow. What a turnaround. I’ve never seen a more convinced customer! Thank you so much!!” I hand him two large bags and he walks off quite pleased with himself.
