What is fairs: Definition and 85 Discussions

I looked in files, but couldn't find anything current or editable. I would like to make/print some recipe cards I can give out at Vendor fairs. I have 3 in a row the next 3 Saturdays. I will try to make my own, but I'm not good at that kind of stuff so any assistance would be greatly...

Good morning fellow PC sales people! I'm new here, and I've only been selling PC for a few months. I have the opportunity to register myself for a couple of holiday craft/vendor fairs, and I'm trying to find information about offering cash & carry style items (i.e. purchase stock myself and...

Hello, I was wondering how often craft fairs will not Pampered chef come to their events? Currently, I don't have enough stuff for cash and carry and a fair said I would not be able to be a vendor with them. Does this happen often?? Thanks, Maggie

Im new to this sort of thing.....How are we supposed to set up for craft fairs? I mean, do we have all brand new items set out still in their packages or have them opened and sitting on the table? I see alot of tables set up with items opened and sitting on the table but what about if the item...

I am very interested in doing a booth at local fairs, etc. but I have no idea how to find them. I saw an add in the paper once for vendors needed but when I called they said they already have a PC person. Is there a website, or any tips anyone can give on finding local fairs, fundraisers, etc?

I wanted to share with all my cheffer friends about a Bridal Fair I literally fell into a couple of weeks ago. About 4 days before this bridal fair, I reached out to a fellow consultant who had already booked a booth at a local fair. It turned out he couldn't use the booth so he let me go in...

I would like to ask your advise about Bridal Fairs. I have the opportunity to have a booth at a Bridal Fair in March which is being advertised in 10 newspapers all around (areas 30-60 minutes from me). They have on average attendance 300. It would be 3 hours and then a fashion show and then...

Hi friends, I see lots of people mention doing fairs and booths. What exactly does this mean? Do you just get space at a craft show or bazaar and try to get people to book, or do you demonstrate/sell actual items, do you take catalog orders, etc? I just unfamiliar. Thanks!

Just curious when you start looking for holiday fairs? Most of the ones around where I live are already booked with a pampered chef consultant. There is one in a town that I did one for this summer but didn't have very good results and it's 2 hours away so I'm not sure it's worth the...

My city will be hosting a bridal fair in just a few weeks and another consultant has approached me about going in on a booth. It is expensive, though: $795! I'm not sure it will be worthwhile. Has anyone else done a bridal fair as a vendor? Or did you go to one as a bride-to-be? If so...

Hi folks. I live in a pretty small town (Roxboro, NC) but near a few larger cities (Durham, Raleigh, Burlington, etc...). How do you go about finding opportunities to set up a booth? I mean, I've tried doing searches on the internet, but maybe I'm searching for all the wrong things...I can't...

Hi All, Im trying to see if I can sign up for a arts and crafts fair but they are asking for seller's permit or some type of business lisence. Aren't we considered business owners? What to do? Thanks. Aeilene

I'd love to do booths at fairs and stuff but don't even know where to start looking for stuff. The only boutiques I know of are all at Christmas. Do you guys know of any online calendars/resources or something? Where do you find these venues?

How do you find out about booths and fairs in your area. I seem to be finding out about them only a few days before they occur. Any websites that list them?

There are complimentary products you could sell at your booth in addition to PC products. Usually small craft items like a painted wooden turkey napkin holder, this and that, etc. Do you have those as well?

Where could I find these types of events to have a booth?

For those that do bridal fairs - where do you get the info about setting up a booth? I did a search online and found a couple in my area but can't find any info on who to contact for booths. Just curious if there is a trick of the trade that I'm not aware of.

Hello All, I'm still pretty busy planning my first craft fair. I have a 6 foot table and have a ton of ideas I'm going through but I'm stuck on one thing... I give my hosts a Host Handbook with a ton of different info in it, Host/Guest specials for three months, fundraiser info, wedding...

Can I sell crafts made with PC products at my Pampered Chef table (booth) at fairs? Or should I just display the crafts/gifts and have shoppers order the supplies needed to make them? This is my first craft show and I want to do it right. Thx.

Does anyone have the funny DPDS to use at fairs that asks the questions about hosting/biz opp that says something along the lines of: yes, not on your life, my arm could be twisted? I cannot find my file. TIA

I am needing some ideas on what I can give away as a door prize at a Women's Fair that I am doing this weekend? Each person that is doing a booth is to give something that they are going to be giving away each hour. I thought about giving away like a gift certificate that is for a free show...

When you all do fairs, do you have a banner you display? I have a couple of fair booths coming up, and I would love to have a banner on my table. There is one on Ebay which is huge - 72" x 32", but it is now over $20 and I am not sure how economical that is. I know there used to be a yard...
