First bridal booth

[wadesgirl]

I did a bridal booth for the first time yesterday and I have to say that I'm amazed by all the rude people! :eek: Usually it wasn't the bride, it was the "posse" she brought with her. We were handing out door prize slip for free products and free kitchen or bridal shows so we were handing them out the anyone. I had one lady look and me and ask me what I do with her information and then went on about how a previous consultant had harrassed her. I told her honestly that I didn't have time to do such a thing. Others were just rude when they said no about signing up for the door prize. I would hand them the slip and they always had crappy comments about it. Some even just walked by and made a funny look at our booth like wondering what we were doing there. I did get some great leads but I was just shocked! I cannot wait to call the leads but hopefully I don't encounter the momzilla!

Good for you! Focus on the positive!

I want to do a bridal show, but none around me I live very rural.

I feel your pain.

I had this happen to me recently, not at a bridal show, but I'm volunteering for our local food bank who is the charity recipient of sales to tour the 2008 Boston Dream Home. The house is 2.3 mil, and some of the people who come to see it are AMAZINGLY Snobby - the funny part is, you can tell they are the posers, the ones who couldn't afford the dream home and are bitter about it.

I had one group of ladies look at my display (I'm raffling off a free RUFTH trivet) and say "Do people still buy that crap?" I was selling someone a ticket for entry into the house or I would have gone over and made sure they saw the logo on my sweater! I don't force anyone. It's not worth wasting time with them.

Good luck with your leads!
