Central Market

We were promoting our local products on Tuesday the 25^th of September outside the central market in the center of Chania. Each country had their own table which were decorated with traditional decorations, for example flags. Unfortunately, it was a windy day, which made it hard to keep the things in place. Silk (Spain), candy (Sweden), appetizers (Portugal), pumpkin oil (Slovenia), coffee (Finland) and Kalitsounia (Greece) were some of the products we were promoting.

Some students stayed in the stands, while some tried to attract people to learn about our cultures and try our food and fabrics. Most of the people were tourists and because of that the students needed to cooperate and help each other to interact and make our job better.

This whole event made our English more fluent and gave us more confidence to talk to more people and make them interested. We learned about marketing techniques such as a stay positive and keep going even though you get a “no“ for an answer.

All though most of us were a little bit nervous in the beginning we think we did a wonderful job. We believe collaboration and team work were the keys to our success.
