What is expo: Definition and 94 Discussions

Well, the expo went great! It was SUPER busy and my team member and I got a lot of great registry and possible recruit leads, so I'm pumped! We brought only the things that are on the "Well-Stocked Kitchen" list, and most of the stuff was over $50 (cookware, DCB, Trifle Bowl, Salad Spinner...

I am doing a Bridal Expo on Tue. with one of my recruits, and we're trying to decide what type of display we're going to do. In the past, we've focused on new products, the 4 big product lines (stoneware, cookware, simple additions and wovens), and highlighting the new consultant kit, but this...

I started looking into bridal fairs to try to get some registries going. I found one that I asked about. She wants $600 for a table! The fair itself is only from 11-4. She has been doing it for several years, actually two a year, and consistently has over 1000 in attendance. She gets all...

I participated in a small business expo yesterday. I expected it to be fairly small. It was the first expo the organizers had ever done. What I did not expect was that we would have a total of less than 10 people show up. That's right. Other than the other exhibitors, we had 10 people come...

Does anyone have a script that they use when calling bridal leads from an expo? I just did a bridal fair on Saturday and got 11 registry leads and 8 bridal shower leads. I wanted to call them and let them know they've won something and offer an incentive if they book a bridal shower. What...

I just sent in my registration to have a booth/table at a local family expo. Does anyone have any ideas or pictures that you have done with a set up like this. Do you hand out samples or free gifts? What kind of information do I hand out? I could use any ideas you may have. Thank you.

I am doing a Mind, Body, and Spirit Women's Expo at our local hospital, and I am planning on doing bags to give away to everyone. They are always sold out, but it's a limited number of only 110 women there, so I figured that was something I could handle. I bought the catalog bags from...

I am new to the forum, and as I was reading through some of your wonderful ideas, I saw someone mention that they just did a Bridal Expo. Could you explain how this works, please? Where do you set up? How do you get the word around about it, etc. etc. Thanks!

I am doing a bridal expo in Feb. It will be my first one and I am loaded with questions. First, how long does it take to prepare for an expo? I think they are expecting at least 40 brides. What do you give for door prizes? Do you do drawings at your booth for free cooking shows or draw for a...

So, I am fairly comfortable with Expos in general but I felt a little uneducated about the registry and bridal shows. I'm looking for some good words to use to explain them and to say to brides. I would LOVE suggestions! BTW: Had the first fair today, wound up with 8 registries and lots of...
