A Good Day to Get Together: DTS Map at Honor Brewing’s Fall Fest

By Mike, Founder of Veteran Command

On October 10, we brought DTS Map out to Honor Brewing Loudoun in Sterling, Virginia, for their Third Anniversary Fall Fest. We had framed maps on display, the Builder up and running, and our new Digital Edition to share. By the end of the day, I felt good about how it had gone. People were interested, the digital option made a difference, and we had a chance to introduce more people to what we’re building.

There’s a lot that goes into a DTS Map, but the reason behind it is easy to understand. Places carry memories. A duty station can bring back the people you knew there, a chapter of your family’s life, or an experience you still talk about years later. Putting those places together gives you something you can share with the people who matter to you. That’s the connection we want people to see when they stop at our booth.

Having the framed maps and the Builder together helped show both sides of that idea. Visitors could see the finished piece in person and get a look at how a map becomes their own. It’s one thing to see a photo online. Standing in front of a map gives you time to take in the details and start thinking about the places you would put on yours.

Something new to share

The Digital Edition was a big part of this event for us. It gives people another way to get started with a personalized DTS Map, and I think having that option helped people make the decision. We finished the day with two digital orders and one full-price framed map order. I usually sell about one map at an event, so three orders felt like a success.

There was also plenty of interest from people who might come back to us later. I can’t put a number on what that will turn into, but it matters that they stopped, took a look, and got to know DTS Map a little better. When you’re building a small business, those chances to put your work in front of someone are important. Thank you to everyone who gave us a few minutes of their day.

Come say hello

That invitation extends well beyond the people who have served. You might be part of a military family, have a friend whose story you want to celebrate, or simply enjoy getting out and supporting local businesses. There’s room for you here. We want our booth to be a place where you feel comfortable stopping by, looking around, and asking questions.

Thank you to Honor Brewing Loudoun for having us as part of the anniversary celebration, and to everyone who came over to see the maps. It was a good day for DTS Map, and I’m excited to keep sharing what we’re working on.

If you missed us this time, keep an eye on DTS Map for future event updates. When you see us out at an event, come say hello and bring someone along. You can also explore the framed and Digital Editions at DTSMap.com. We’d love to help you bring those places and memories together.
