Hi I just started with pc this month. I have a booth at a craft and gift-giving fair but it is not until dec 2nd. Also it is in a predominantly Jewish town and Hannakuh begins on the 5th. I did not want to have cash n carry but now I think I should so that people can buy things in time for the holiday. What do you all suggest I do and what products should I have on hand.
 
I just did one at a Temple. It wasn't as good as I had hoped, basically the signs weren't as big and colorful as they should've been.

However, I had cash and carry, and only sold $9 worth. I did have a display and took order.

You are right, Hanukkah is right there. Since you are so new, I would primarily focus on bookings for December. Their holiday will be over, and people will want to get together with those they missed over the holiday.

Have a drawing for a free prize (something like a $25 gift certificate redeemable only through you, or a cookbook) and that will help you gain contacts/bookings/leads. Call them a few days after Hanukkah is over.

HTH!
 
Definitely show bakeware - if you have the cooling racks, stack 2 of them and put some stoneware on top with a spatula - or a pie plate with slice 'n serve. Put out any of the cranberry linens. Do you have a white SA rectangle platter? Do the candles - blue ornamnets - blue ribbons thing that Debi Lilley showed at Nat.Conference (you can see it at CCorner, Conferences, NatConference, then scroll toward the bottom right of the page and see the Seasonal Centerpieces video - I think there are 3 of them.)You might offer for 'sale' little things you make, like the holiday wreaths, the cranberry almond crunch bark, or butterflies like the wreaths. You could make truffles - look for recipes - or even do choc dipped berries or tuxedo brownie cups.Present any SimpAdditions you own or can borrow - emphasize the special.God Bless, Take Care!-praying for Paige and her family-
