to a job fair? :confused: I have a chance to have a booth at a job fair next Friday. What would you take that wouldn't cost me an arm and a leg and that I would still have time to order and receive in time? Setting up costs me NOTHING!!! :) That's the best part!!!
 
You definitely need a supply of the new "Take Charge" brochures and maybe "Your Life Your Way". I really can't see doing all that well at a Job Fair... DS companies don't usually do that and from experience, I ignored anything that wasn't a "real job" when I went to Job Fairs...

First of all, what is the "take charge" brochures? are they on the supply order and are they cheap? also, I'm not really sure how good it will do, but it's free and it's being advertised on the radio... so I guess I will give it a try!
 
I would also make sure I take everything in your kit. So they can see everything not just a picture of what they are investing in. The quality of the merchandise. Do you have a laptop or a personal dvd? Take the Your Life Your Way dvd and play it on a loop. I do that at fairs I attend. I also would have my booking slide out, possibly hanging if you have a wall behind you. And flyers regarding this months recruiting incentive of getting half of their investment returned after the first month :)
 
I just did a Summer Jobs Fair yesterday at a local college where I live. I didn't think that I would do as good as I did. I got about 15 people that wants to talk more and about 20 other people that are considering it. I took the recruiting promotion for this month with the information about the rebate. My executive director told me to take some of the Our Apron Comes In 5 Sizes flyer and the Your Life, Your Way brochures. Hope this helps.
