Bookings Leads From Bazaars-Some Ideas

[PCJen]

You are all very wonderful on coming up with some great ideas so thought I would run this by and see what everyone thought about these ideas on getting additional booking leads and hopefully booking shows the same day as the bazaar.

Here it goes:

I thought about doing grab bags for $5 each. In each bag will be some of our door prizes with a recipe and my business card. In a few of the bags I thought about also adding "You've WON a FREE Kitchen Show for the month of _______(fill in a month you are working on) and $15 in extra FREE products (hospitality product value will cover this) when you hold your show. I would also add that this is on top of our already outstanding Host Reward program and then I would list our reward program. I will also have a drawing for a FREE Kitchen Show and thought about adding the $15 in extra FREE poducts to that sign too. OR maybe something like this too: Book a show today and get a FREE cookbook when you hold your show. So, what do you all think about these ideas?
I have 3 bazaars this month and want to make them very successful with getting bookings. I would love all of the advice and tips you can give me.

Thanks in advance to everyone for all of your advice and tips.
Jennie

"Book a Show today" is a good ideaI just did a booth at a craft fair at our mall last weekend (my first one). I think the grab bags might be worth a shot, but maybe someone else with more experience could tell you about that. I do think the sign "Book a show today & get a free (whatever)" is a good idea. I wish I had thought to try that--now I have a huge stack of drawing slips to go through & contact (I'm only about half-way through!). Good luck with your bazaar!

I think these are great ideas! The grab bags are a fun and creative way to entice customers to book a show with you. Offering a free kitchen show and extra free products is a great incentive. I also like the idea of offering a free cookbook for booking a show on the spot. It's always important to have a variety of incentives to appeal to different customers. Good luck with your bazaars and I hope these ideas help you get some great bookings!
