Make-it Mondays: Makin' it to a Year!


Tonight's meeting marks a year since our street team began meeting face to face. Look back at the second meeting here. A lot of familiar faces are there along with the many fantastic new members who have joined along the way. Let's take a step back to see just how far we've made it.
  1. Membership has doubled, since 2009.
  2. We had our first RNEST Holiday show.
  3. Our blog went from 3 followers to 260 (as of today) and has four weekly writers.
  4. Two of our members created an indie art market and have already scheduled a fall market to augment the first successful one in May.
  5. We've gotten articles in the business section of the Democrat and Chronicle and the Rochester Examiner.
  6. We've become a recognizable force to market organizers who give us early FYI's and discounts to shows.
  7. Tips from meetings and Ning/blog threads have increased individual members sales.
Be proud to be an RNESTer! There will be more good things to come with everyone's input and enthusiasm...
