Just had to share...

I was invited to do a table for the Women's City Club's Breast Cancer fundraiser. I have to admit, my table looked awesome. Check it out. And yes, the centerpiece is the trifle bowl filled with marshmallows!

How beautiful! I love it! Very well done! :) So how did this event work for you? Did you have another area with other info for people? Or were you standing near it to introduce PC to people?

I wasn't allowed to "sell" at the event, but after I took the pictures, I had a a plastic holder on the table with mini holiday catalogs, and then on the other side, I had placed a small stack of lemon mini cake recipe cards. I was there all day, and got a catalog show with the Breast Center ladies ( dropped the order forms, etc off this am) and have another lead for a show.

The table donation was $20, plus my time for the day, so I can't say at this moment that it was worth it, but I will say that today I received a call from a woman who got my name/number from someone/something and she wants me to be part of her vendor fundraiser thing. I am really committed to building my business and am committed to not missing any "opportunity." My thought is that I would have made no money sitting home moaning about how I had nothing going on that day, so being there and being open to anything is fine with me.

I'd say it was definitely worth it! Way to go! It's beautiful and I'm sure you left a great impression on everyone! :)

That is beautiful! You never know what a lead from a booth will do for your business! I am working on leads from last 3 booths and so far, they are doing pretty good. I am hoping I will see business on down the road from them as well. One director I talked with said she had gotten a lead from a booth in July last year that had yielded 40 shows so far that had been booked down the line from that one! I think a lot of times, if I get my name out there, someone will contact me who saw me at the last one. I also have a lady locally who does a FunandFrugal newsletter that I advertise on and whenever she hears about a booth, she passes the information on to me!

I don't shop at Walmart (nothing against anyone who does, it's just me), but a friend had suggested I use mini marshmellows and just pick out the pink ones. Like, sure, I could see myself doing that... NOT!!! But I think the white actually works, it minics the white dots on the cups/squares.

I think you did a GREAT job! And anyone who picked up a mini-catalog will remember your table too ... so you may get calls a couple of days, weeks or months down the road from this event.

That is one beautiful table! You should send the picture with a note to HO--I think they would love to see it!
