Hello. I was just wondering if anyone has advice on setting up a table at an assorted vendor open house. It will be held in a store and there will be a few people with displays. I would like ideas on decorating, what to take, and should I give something away? If so what? I have a few ideas but I am fairly new and have never done something like this before so any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks a lot.

setting up at vendor showmake yours look different. If there are other vendors there you want to stand out. Make some kind of snack to tempt them with .Have a register to win so that you will get more contacts. Also give a gift to anyone who books a party (quickcut paring knife, twixit etc). I usually get a about 4-6 balloons with helium in colors to match my setup. Don't sit behind table, stand to side and greet people as they walk up. Wear your apron and have on hand information on joining Pampered Chef. Good luck
 
boothThose are great tips!

You will want to take items from the Super Starter kit. You might set all the kit items up in/on/around your crate with the Opportunity Flier.

I would also take the new products and have them displayed with the new colors being your theme for balloons, table cloth, etc.

Have a prize drawing for an item you have extra. Have prize drawing slips to pass out for the drawing. I've attached prize drawing slips I've used for fairs.

I usually will make up a bunch of small chocolate chip cookies, dip, or brownie bites to pass out.

Using old catalogs to pass out is a good idea. Have host packets ready to go along with your calendar handy for those that book a show. You might want to offer a special incentive (something free) if they book a show at the fair.

I also take outside order forms so they can place an order there if they want. I have it shipped directly to them if they are not local.

Good luck and HAVE FUN!

Any booth I do, I always take a few classics and all the brand new stuff. Last weekend I placed yellow fabric on the table as a table cloth, and then a white cloth over it. I laid a new towel down and then arrange all the new products first to give myself plenty of room. I also used the boxes to create height for the products by placing them under the table cloths. I bought fake fruit slices and placed them in the prep bowls. The other end of the table I placed the three tiered stand with a small simple additions display and tuxedo brownies to sample. I also include spring like garland intertwined and light the candle if permitted. I use the batter bowl, with a slit in the top of the lid for drawing slips and raffle a $30.00 giftcertificate. If anyone books a show they get to choose out of my door prize basket. I also have a few signs (small ones promoting Help Whip Cancer and the business opportunity) and then the new easel is filled with the monthly host/guest specials.

Very important, I call everyone back that does not mark no on their slip within two days. If I sense some hesitation over the phone I offer to send a current catalog, then tell them I will follow up in a week. That is the call that I really try to get that booking because they are more comfortable with you at this point. Good luck!!
 
My director also suggested to me that I bring a crock pot or toaster oven. Use a recipie from the chilis and stew to cook in crock...or bake something in the toaster oven...the smell will draw a crowd!!!

and i agree about standing in front of the booth with your apron on. Good Luck. ;)

Thanks!!
 
Check with your Chamber of Commerce, expo, and fair offices. They might be able to give you info on their calendar of events.
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What are some effective ways to arrange my Pampered Chef display?

To create an effective display, consider grouping products by category, such as cooking tools, bakeware, and serving dishes. Use tiered stands or risers to create height and visual interest. Make sure to leave enough space for customers to browse comfortably and consider using tablecloths that complement your brand colors.

How can I incorporate recipes into my display?

Incorporating recipes is a great way to showcase your products in action. Set up a small cooking demonstration area where you can prepare a simple recipe using Pampered Chef tools. Provide printed recipe cards for customers to take home, and consider having samples available for tasting to entice potential buyers.

What should I include in my display to attract customers?

To attract customers, include a variety of popular and new products, along with eye-catching signage that highlights special promotions or discounts. Interactive elements, such as product samples or cooking demos, can also draw people in. Additionally, consider using bright colors and clear labeling to make your display visually appealing.

How can I make my display stand out at a vendor event?

To make your display stand out, use bold colors and creative signage that reflects your brand. Incorporate unique elements like themed decorations or props that relate to the products. Engaging with passersby through friendly conversation and offering demonstrations can also help draw attention to your booth.

What are some tips for maintaining my display throughout the event?

Regularly check your display to ensure products are neatly arranged and restock any items that have been sold. Keep a supply of business cards or brochures handy for interested customers. Additionally, be prepared to clean up any spills or messes quickly to maintain a professional appearance throughout the event.
