I am doing a bridal fair this weekend and hope to have some success with new leads?! I've been reading the threads and I am a little nervous about how it will go as it doesn't sound like the overall all trend is that great. The organizer said they expect 300-350 brides and about 700 people total.
For those of you experienced with bridal fairs
- What paperwork should I bring?
- What's your strategy for getting them interested in registering?
- What's been you're success rate with registries actually being used?
- Do you follow up with the names given to you form the organizer that maybe didn't stop by the booth but were at the fair? How did you contact? Mail? Phone? email?
- Any great "words" you used when you called them for follow-up? Anything different for brides who visited you?
- If you did a door prize - was it for just brides or everyone? I was thinking maybe doing one for brides (maybe a cookbook) and and one for guests or bridal party (free cooking show). Is that too complicated?
Frankly, I'd be happy just to get a few regular shows from the mom or MIL or bridesmaid. Heck, even another vendor would be great.
Looking for all words of wisdom - I know there's bound to be some very experienced fair vendors here!
Thanks in advance!!
