Wow, congrats! I'm gearing up for my first fundraisers as well. 2 at school and one for my girl's dance team studio. I'm feeling overwhelmed, but hearing your success is inspiring!

Just an FYI - I saw the spreader there today :) I'm happy because I am doing a show for a mom's group and they LOVE free stuff...

Have you done a product adjustment online? I've had a few and they are very quick.One time I even had a SA plate with a defect that I emailed them about because the defect was a burr and I cut my finger on it (Thank goodness I decided to open it before giving it to my customer!) and they called...

Dont drop them though :( I just lost my big new QSP to a fall coming out of a cabinet, it hit the floor and the bottom shattered like glass. I have a replacement coming that I'm hoping makes it for my show on the 12th. It's my favorite new toy and I miss it! I have to agree - it is heavy when...

I had to chuckle - I think the Fedex guy here hates me now since I became a consultant in April, lol. My kids love to see the truck coming up the driveway and ask what new "cooking show stuff" I have to show them!

Oh NO definitely not doing the heart dishes as a gift! I did a postcard with my contact info stapled to either a citrus peeler or a quickut knife x30 total.I did talk to the organizer, and I'm getting a worse feel every time I do. Today was our first look at the facility and to be honest I...

Just wanted to update - I'm getting frustrated with the hosts of this particular event. It seems that they keep upping the requirements for us for the event. For example, we were supposed to have tables/chairs and now we have to bring our own. We had to have 500 pieces of 'something' to put...

No judgements taken :)I don't feel judged at all, I appreciate your input.The last vendor fair I did, all people did was ask me if they could buy this or that from my displays. I had no stock of anything much besides little filler things that I was using for door prizes and such.I felt...

Hi everyone! I am gearing up for a huge fair in February 08. It is a grand opening of an indoor kids complex which will have a coffee shop, indoor play area (kind of like gymboree type of equipment) and some boutique shops as well. I've already paid my table and ad fees, but now I'm...

I couldnt afford the PC rolling case, but I got an amazing deal on a giant rolling suitcase which works just FANTASTIC for my larger/heavier items. The thing weighs sooo much but I can usually just roll it up into wherever I'm going. I can't help but bring EVERY LAST item I own with me to...

My hostess was definitely bummed seeing as the group asked her to host - I was hoping she'd get something!She said she emailed a couple of personal contacts, which I also re-emailed and as of today (4 days later) we've got nada.I guess I won't be doing this kind of show anymore :(.

I'm a MA native - Love the Lee outlets but its been years since I've been ;)

I hosted a show for a mother's group that I belong to. The event was titled "A Pampered Playdate" and I brought my ENTIRE kit, cooked double batches of two recipes (Mini Pesto Pizzas were a HUGE hit with the kids), had moms demo items, talked up the specials, everything I could think to do...

Curious Newbie - do you give out a catalog, mini catalog, or what?It definitely sounds like a great opportunity, but the booth price plus giveaways might break me...

Another software option is VMWARE FUSION. It's also made for Macs and runs a windows environment, but doesnt require using BootCamp to partition off your drive. My husband uses VMWARE products extensively and told me to get it - Its on order right now from Buy.com and there is a $20 rebate.I...
