Last weekend, the people behind Souche magazine had a mission to bring Montrealers for the first time at the Palais des Congres. Was it mission accomplished for the organisation team? I would have to say somewhat. On one hand, local designers, makeup artists and performers had the chance to showcase their talents or business to visitors. It was nice to see how each and everyone one presented and explained the their products. One crucial thing I would suggest to these entrepreneurs is to be more active on the social media. How can we test, buy what your are selling if we have no idea where to find it? By introducing your hair products or your latest natural lip balm on the internet, you have a bigger chance to reach potential buyers.
The only deplorable thing about the festival was the lack of organisation. Some of the performances did not look prepared and a few volunteers would have definitely been welcomed! There’s a first time for everything thought. Who knows, if it would have been different if more people attended the festivities. Overall, some part of the activities did not look professional. Even if Souche Festival could have been reduced into a one day celebration, it was still an entertaining weekend and the festival shed light to amazing businesses and artists who needed an extra help.
With these minor changes, I am confident that Souche Festival will attract more visitors and more talents. After all, it is time for us young Montrealers to start our own economy. See you next year Souche!
