Okay, I'm not sure how to do this, and figured there are so many great ideas on here, maybe I can glean some knowledge from you all.

I've got an event this weekend for my neighbor's son - the fundraiser is to pay for medical expenses.

Here's the deal - they're having a benefit dinner/auction/comedian for him, and my neighbor said I can set up a booth there. I'm going to donate my commission from any individual orders I get that day, but what else can I do?

My director suggested offering some sort of incentive for people to book a party, but I just can't get the whole concept right in my head.

Anyone have any advice? TIA!
 
Offer a free cookbook to anyone who books a party and keeps it. You can order it on their host order and then get the discount they get to keep it cheaper than an outright purchase. You might try if the party is over $500 you will give them and extra FPV or a piece of stoneware, etc. etc.
I hope these help.

Thanks, Lisa. I guess I should have clarified a little more... I was thinking I'd offer like a $ or % from sales at each show booked.Like... 20% from a November party, 15% from a December party, etc
or... $100 from a November party, $75 from a December party, etc.
