The ones they have at Merrill looks nothing like that! I bought 1 last week & I'll be using at the fair on Sat. I'll let you know how it turns out...
 
Actually it must be an old one from Merrill because I have one that looks just like it.

Someone in my cluster had a good idea. She uses a large Batter Bowl with a cut on the lid to put the drawing slips through. You can buy an extra lid on the replacement parts order form really cheap.
 
Maybe I can use the cracked lid they keep promising to replace ....

I've just used my triffle bowl w/o the lid ..

Thanks for the options,..... but

DO THEY WORK???? Do you get much response or leads from them?
 
I haven't used one where I wasn't there...so, I don't know.
 
Like Kate, I have not used mine at a location where I wasn't there with it. I have only used it at fairs/booths, etc.

I made mine, using a square gift box with a lift off lid. (has snowman decor on it) that I originally started using as my "Why Box". I had cut out pictures of various products from the catalog, and pasted them to the box. The "Why Box" did not work well with me, and then I got the idea of cutting a whole in the lid, and using it as my lead box. It works great.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are lead boxes and how do they work for direct sales businesses?

Lead boxes are marketing tools used by direct sales businesses to collect contact information from potential customers. They typically involve a physical box placed at events or in stores, where interested individuals can fill out a form to receive more information, samples, or special offers.

Ensure the box is visually appealing and clearly states what individuals will receive in exchange for their contact information. Additionally, follow up promptly with leads to convert them into customers.

What are some tips for designing an attractive lead box?

When designing a lead box, use bright colors and eye-catching graphics that align with your brand. Include a clear and concise message about the benefits of signing up, such as exclusive recipes or discounts. Make sure the form is simple and easy to fill out, and consider adding a small incentive, like a raffle entry, to encourage participation.
