Overall, the table event was successful. People were curious about the products and were interested in hearing how they impacted sustainable efforts. One thing that could be done differently is choosing a variety of days and times to display the products. The second day was less successful due to the same crowd of students passing through, most of which had already looked at the products. Also more promotion of the event, actual posters being put around campus instead of just a social media post could be a better reminder of the event occurring.
