This sister duo turned a dream and a shoestring budget into a trade show triumph!

Picture this: Becca Stern and her sister Jess invested $25,000 AUD of their savings to start their business, Mustard Made - a line of colorful vintage inspired lockers with a cult following and celebrity fans. They took a big risk right off the bat, deciding to test the viability of their new business at a trade show with only a few product samples on hand. If they received a few orders to validate their proof of concept, they’d keep building. If the trade show proved a lack of product market fit, they would cut their losses early. What happened next was beyond their wildest expectations - over $200,000 AUD in orders poured in, smashing their two-year projections in one weekend!

Today, Becca is taking us behind the scenes of their trade show success, including exactly what they spent their bootstrapped budget of $25K on for maximum returns, how they designed a standout booth experience to attract buyers, and the creative teaser they used to put their then-unknown brand on people’s radar pre-event.

If you’re building a consumer brand and selling through in-person activations at trade shows, markets, or events, this episode is a blueprint for you. Even if you solely sell digital products, this is a master case study in grassroots marketing and brand building you’ll find new ideas from.
