What is fair: Definition and 200 Discussions

I am rather new to Pampered Chef but I am having a booth at a Spring vendor fair next month. I am curious if there is a way to submit sales from that day under a party so I can have a drawing for Hostess credits.. Now I know how to do all of that but where I'm confused is, can I have all the...

A friend of mine in another state has contacted me and some other direct sales consultants about joining forces for an online vendor fair (Tastefully Simple, PC, Mary Kay, and Lia Sophia). It sounds like a pretty good idea, but none of us has a great method in mind for the execution of it. Has...

Hello, I am doing my 1st Bridal Fair Jan 2. I am really excited, but nervous as well. The expo I am doing is expected to have 500+ brides plus their guests. I will have my mom with me to help manage my table. I am including a drawing for the spice turn about with a few spices in it to get...

What would be a fair price for the spice turn about tote? I have used mine twice and am thinking of selling it. It's not all I thought it would be, not that's it's not awesome but it's just not something I think I will use regularly and after 6 years I just don't have room for everything anymore.

Working a very busy booth this weekend. Do you bring food samples? Mine always seem to run out and then I have dirty dishes out. Fair runs 9am-4pm. Suggestions on how to keep the food fresh while I'm there? Or would you punt on the food and just do a display? I know use the cool n'...

The organizer scheduled the event from 12-8pm, didn't send out any information, didn't let us know how much to pay until the day before, didn't tell us how much space we would have, etc etc. It was just awful. It was hardly advertised. We had about 50 people in all day. I did manage to get $130...

I just did a fair at a local high school. Attendance was sparse at best, but imagine my surprise when the kids helping me haul stuff in commented how they'd just helped the other PC lady with hers. WHAT???? :grumpy: Anyhow, she wandered over to my area before we started and we visited - she's...

So I was called last week to be part of a home expo at a local business who is trying to get people to come in. She said she would do the advertising, etc. She called today telling me that she wants the host benefits, me to bring an appetizer, etc., and for me to pay $23, since she isn't...

I did this at a fair this past weekend, and a friend did it at her show she did it a little different than I did... but the results!! For the fair I did: 1. fill out a contact card, pick a spice from the bottom of the spice turn-about. 2. book a party, or place an order pick a...

My recruiter and I, are sharing a booth at a bridal fair next month. This is both our first time working at a fair. Part of the cost is that we are allowed to put some promotional materials in the brides bag. I know this is cheap but all I can think of making is putting one pan scraper in a...

I met a gentleman at a fair this past weekend who is interested in the business. He's on workers comp right now, and is looking for something to keep him busy. By the time he stopped by I was out of my Join Us flyers, so he asked me to email him some information. I wanted to send him something...

Is there anyone who have an extra PC banner? I'm having my first fair booth in November 13. Thank you.

I am participating in a fair/event coming up, where all vendors are putting "items" in a bag that will be given out to the first 100 people through the door. I am putting in the holiday minis as well as a recipe card, (in my own little package) is there anything else I should be putting in to...

I've updated an amazing flyer! I found a tri-fold flyer in the files section a while ago. It was originally made by Latoya Saddler several years ago and I just loved it, and wanted to use it for my fair this weekend. A major shout out to Latoya (thank you!). Hope you guys like what I did with...

I just did one of my favorite outdoor craft fairs last Saturday. They gave me a spot 10' X 20' so I brought 2 canopys and lots of tables and made several different displays. I noticed that even though there was an opening between tables in the front, maybe two people came in. everyone else...

I need ideas to increase the chances of getting shows booked at a Fair I am doing this Saturday. i will also be doing a farmer's market in a few weeks... last time I did a FM, it was slow, no one booked, I had one order for a scraper. I want some tips to see if I can do better this time...

I've been invited to have a booth at a local fair for a very small fee ($25) for a decent sized space. The only problem is, the organizer told me they already have another PC consultant running a booth too (who I don't know). She said their space actually covers several acres so we probably...

I have an opportunity to participate in a Career Fair. It's $40 for the 4-hour event. Has anyone ever done something like this? What are your thoughts on this? Should I do it?

Hi - I've noticed there are very few items available from Merrill for fairs/bazaars. Does anyone have banners, tablecloths, or drawing boxes they are looking to get rid of? (PM me with the details) Thanks! Natasha

Ok, so I'm doing my first vendor fair on June 5th and I'm trying to make sure I've thought through it all as far as paperwork in case I need to make a supply order before then. Here's what I'm thinking Drawing/info slips (free cooking show drawing where everyone wins) Host packets Recruit...

I participated in a spring fair this afternoon and I have several maybes that I want to convert to yeses. What do you say when you call? I'm not great at the calling part and was looking for some proven word choices. Please help! Thank you.

I'm organizing a vendor fair for this summer as a Summer Open House. I've contacted many consultants in the are from various companies and have had a lot of positive feedback. Nobody else wanted to organize it all themselves, but I am a teacher and summer is my time off to do other things like...

I had my 1st vendor fair today with 15 other vendors from Silpada Jewelry, Avon, Tastefully Simple, Longaberger Baskets and more. I think I did OK. It cost $50. But I got 3 bookings and 6 other potential leads. Not to mention the many people who took an old catalog and business card and...

Anyone have a flyer to hand out at a HS job fair? These kids aren't old enough to sign up but planting the seed. I want to give them something about the business and about cooking shows to take with them. I'm hoping some of their moms will do a show at least. I'm told to bring enough for 1700...

Ok, so beginning of February I did a bridal fair and got about 100 leads. Some have close wedding dates, some not so much. Then there are a bunch who indicated they'd love to have a show well before their wedding date. BUT...I had family issues shortly after the fair and have been unable to...

I just wanted to share this I was so proud of myself for making this up today I have a bridal fair tomorrow in the mall and I wanted to have a section of the table set just for bridal and then I am going to have all of our products there as well.

Hello All! Next month I will be at a Job Fair Booth for the Pampered Chef. :thumbup: What would you suggest I bring or to have setting out. I do not want alot of clutter, just the basics. What do you think?? :chef:

Can anyone tell me what would be good to take with me plus what flyers you hand out? I am nervous and with the winter snow storms I haven't even thought about this fair until today. I am going in under prepared today.

I have an opportunity to do a Health Fair at the end of the month. The table fee is $95 (noon-4pm) which seems to be a bit high to me. I contacted the organizer and voiced my concern over the fee amount for an independent seller. She offered me the opportunity to supply 250 food samples in...
