I was wondering if anyone has a letter/email they send out to their contacts after a booth.
I just did a fair this last weekend and got a lot of email addresses. I wanted tos end out an email before I starts my follow up calls.
Thanks for the help.
 
Here is something that I've used before...
 
Great question, i have my first big event march 5th and wondered the same thing
 
I don't think I'd spend time sending an email, just make the phone calls. This is the best way to get positive results. If you don't have a #, do a reverse look-up on "whitepages.com". Make a few contact every day and soon you'll be done.
 


Hi there!

Congratulations on a successful booth at the fair this past weekend! It's always exciting to gather new contacts and potential customers.

To answer your question, I do have a letter/email that I send out to my contacts after a booth. It's a great way to introduce yourself and your business, and to thank them for stopping by your booth. It also serves as a reminder for them to check out your website or social media pages for more information.

I've attached a template of the letter/email that I use, feel free to use it and personalize it to fit your business and style. I hope it helps with your follow up calls!

Best of luck and happy cooking!

Sincerely,

Pampered Chef Consultant
