Providing Stainless Steel Jewelry for the Biker

Swap Meets

admin — Tue, 24 Apr 2012 19:03:12 +0000

We participated in another swap meet last Sunday. The swap meet sales trend for the past year held. Sales were slow. We are considering not participating in future swap meets. The booth rentals cost are high when compared to total sales. Also we need a new group of customers. Most of the people attending the swap meets are regulars who have already purchased stainless steel jewelry from us. We found a substantial sales increase at new venues such as auto shows and custom bike shows. But, we do enjoy seeing our regular customers and friends from the swap meets. We will continue going to the swap meets unless there is a better venue we can participate in.

We are adding inventory to our website at www.echolakesteel.com. We have just added new stainless steel bracelet and necklace sets to our website. These sets include solid stainless steel box links with a bright finish, two-tone sets with black and steel or gold and black, to a solid black set. These sets were well received at the motorcycle events we attended. These pieces go well with the biker life style and will quickly be sold out. Take a look at these sets on our web site www.echolakesteel..com or at the upcomming events we will be attending. We provide free shipping and handling on all purchases from the web site.

Cleveland Autorama

For the first time we participated in the Cleveland Autorama’s 64th Annual Rod & Custom show. The autorama displayed several awesome custom cars, trucks and motorcycles. We were well received by the car fans in attendance. Due to the great weather and the St. Patrick’s Day Parade attendance was down. We would like to thank all of our customers we met at the show. If you did not get all of the stainless steel jewelry you need, please visit our web site at www.echolakesteel.com to add to your stainless steel collection. This is a new site which we have not yet fully stocked. We are adding inventory to site every day and will soon offer a full line of stainless steel jewelry.

Detroit Autorama

We tried a new venue for our stainless steel jewelry at the Detroit Autorama custom car show at Cobo Hall in Detroit, Michigan. Although this was a car show we met several of our friends and customers from the motorcycle events we participated in. We thank every one who stop by to say hello and or to purchase some more stainless steel jewelry.

Hundreds of cars and several motorcycles from around the country were entered in this event. Each entry was a great piece of work. I don’t how the judges selected the top entries when every entry looked like a winner to me. That’s why I am not a judge.

We had such a great time at this event that we accepted an invitation to set up at the Cleveland Autorama which will take place March 16 through the 18. www.clevelandautorama.com After that we will be back on the motorcycle circuit starting with the Custom Motorcycle Show and Expo at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens, Michigan on March 24 and 25. This event has several activities in addition to the motorcycle show. This will be our third year participating in this show and found it to be well worth your time to attend this event.

Swap Meet

admin — Wed, 15 Feb 2012 23:33:04 +0000

So far we participated in 4 motorcycle events this year of which 3 were swap meets. Swap meets are a great place to get your motorcycle parts and tools for your current project. These meets are also well attended by leather and clothing dealers to make sure you look great on your next ride. If we are there, the largest selection of stainless steel jewelry found at any motorcycle event will be available for your shopping pleasure. Our tables will have over 3,000 stainless steel rings, over a 100 stainless steel bracelets and chains, and an expanding supply of earrings and belly rings. At the next show we will have new bracelets we just purchased from a wholesale dealer in Chicago. I have not seen them yet, my wife has and she says they are awesome. Our next stop will be at the motorcycle swap meet in Novi, Michigan. This swap meet is on Sunday, February 19, starting at 11:00am at the Suburban Collection Center.

NEW YEAR, NEW RIDING SEASON, and NEW FRIENDS

admin — Sun, 15 Jan 2012 19:11:22 +0000

We are starting our third year of selling stainless steel jewelry st motorcycle events. It seems like only yesterday when a manager of a local motorcycle dealer suggested we set up with our stainless steel jewelry at the Michigan Motorcycle Show in Birch Run, Michigan. Although somewhat apprehensive about setting up at a new venue for us, we followed her advice and set up at the show. We didn’t get rich at the show, we did meet our expenses with enough left over to buy dinner and and pay the rent for space at the next show. Over the past two years we made great friends among the biker community and vendors at the events we attended. We are putting together a new schedule for this year which will include the events you seen us at last year plus some new venues like the Detroit Autorama in February and the Dream Cruise in August. Please stop by our booth at the next event you attend to see what we have to offer. You will see between 3 to 4 thousand stainless steel rings and a wide selection of chains, bracelets, pendants, and earrings.

End of the Season

The motorcycle swap meet has almost ended for 2011. As usual, swap meet sales at the end of the year were slow. We did not see an improvement over last year sales to confirm the reported improvement in our economy. Overall we had a good year, thanks to the support from the biker community. We wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

We have one more event in 2011. This is the Motorcycle Swap Meet & Expo at the Gibraltar Trade Center in Mt. Clemens, Michigan. This event will be held December 17 and 18 starting at 12 noon on each day. The swap meet ends 7 p.m. on Saturday and 6 p.m. on Sunday. The Gibraltar Trade Center put on grat motorcycle events. This will be a great shopping venue if you have biker on Christmas list.

The swap meet season has started this month which is also the start of the holiday shopping season. The swap meet is a great place to find parts for your project bike or gifts for the biker on your gift list. In addition to motorcycles and parts you find vendors providing motorcycle apparel, helmets, and riding glasses. Also, we will be at the swap meets with our stainless steel jewelry for the biker. Our first swap meet will be at the Birch Run Expo Center in Birch Run, Michigan on Sunday, October 23. We look forward to seeing at this event.

Stainless Steel Jewelry at Bikes on the Bricks

admin — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 16:11:24 +0000

We just finished Bikes on the Bricks in Flint, Michigan. This was a great weekend for the bikers who attended this event. The police motorcycle competition put on a great show for us. In addition to the bike show, the bike parking area in addition to the bike builder displays presented some awesome pieces of work.

The crowds kept us busy all weekend. We appoligize to some of our customers for running out of the BIKER ring and the grim reaper ring. You can go to the following links to get the rings on-line.

Ride safe.
