I need some ideas from you guys and gals. I am doing a booth at one of the county fairs with my director. I have never done a booth so I need ideas. I am sure my director has ideas she could give me but I would like some ideas from you cheffers and maybe I could give her some tips. I am sooo excited because I am hoping to get some bookings and some recruits. This summer has been kind of slow for me. So any advice would be apprecited. Thanks
 
I always do a door prize with slips that ask for name -phone and e-mail-also asks if they would like to do an inhome or catalog show--yes, no , maybe--very helpful as even those that say no give their e-mail address--way to keep in contact--their mind may change someday


-also I hand out recipe cards with my info--they are more likely to keep those than a business card:D
 
I have seen the door prize slips that have a rating from 0-10 instead of yes, no, or maybe. That way if they choose anything other than 0 there is some interest.
