Boost Your Sales at the Booth - Tips and Tricks for Hosting a Successful Event

[lesliec]

I have a booth for the next two days and from what I've heard about this event I should be getting lots of orders at this event.
I was thinking of doing a drawing for the benefits....
1 tkt for filling out info card
5 tkts for every $25 in product orders
5 tkts for booking a catalog show
10 tkts for booking a cooking show

What do you guys think.

I will also do a drawing for a "free cooking show" for all of the information cards I get. I have never done a booth before and didn't know if this was a good idea, or if I should just try to get bookings and keep the hostess benefits for myself?

I'm not sure about tickets because people won't want to fill out that much information for each number, but you could just use the survey slips. I just did a vendor market and it had a very low turn out, but I did talk to people and booked 2 shows and sold almost $200. My first question to them was "Do you have any Pampered Chef products?" And from there, a conversation just developed.

It sounds like a great idea to have a drawing for the benefits at your booth! This will encourage people to fill out the information cards and place orders, as well as potentially book shows with you. It's a good way to generate interest and excitement about your products and business.As for the free cooking show drawing, that could be a great way to get more information cards and potentially book more shows. However, you may also want to consider keeping the hostess benefits for yourself if you are just starting out and need to build up your inventory and supplies. Ultimately, it's up to you and what you feel will benefit your business the most.You could also consider offering a smaller prize (such as a product sample or discount) for anyone who fills out an information card, in addition to the drawing for the hostess benefits. This way, everyone who fills out a card feels like they are getting something in return and it may encourage more people to participate.Overall, it's important to have a clear goal in mind for your booth and to have a plan for following up with potential customers and hostesses after the event. Good luck with your booth and I hope you have a successful event!
