I'm thinking about doing something different for a booth I have on Saturday. A Relay for Life team is doing a fundraiser at a fire station. I'm considering bringing a bag of potatoes and enough ingredients to make 2 batches of Mango Salsa. The booth is from 8-2pm. I could even tell people that at certain times I'm doing a demo. Is that weird? I don't want to run out of food to do and don't want to spend a lot of $ on produce. KWIM?
I won't have it for samples, I'll put the food into a tupperware and take it home. The potatoes I'll probably just throw away because they'll go brown.
I'll have minimal extra things on display so I can have room to do the MFP, Veggie Wedger, Mandoline, Coarse Grater, and whatever else to make the Mango Salsa. I'll have the HWC flyers and Mother's Day Gift Sets Flyers there and just give out recipe cards and minis.
What do you think? Has anyone done an active demo at a booth before? I'm just thinking of trying something different and more interesting to the people who pass by. In the past, I've done more standard booths. I get interest and talk to people, but I feel so "salesman"like. I hate feeling like I'm pouncing on people. Thought this might bring people in and then I can chat with them. When I'm using products, it's more fun and might peak more people's interest.
But...what's the down side to doing this? Do you think it's okay to do this? If I'm not serving the food, but just showing the tools in motion? Is it bad to be using a knife? (maybe I could get by w/o one?)
