I've done this in different ways and was just wondering what everyone else does....

When you are at a vendor fair -- what do you wear?

Do you wear PC clothing (such as a shirt with PC logo on it)? Or do you just wear your apron over your clothing?

I have done both, and both have positives and negatives. Just wanted to get everyone's opinion. I have a fair coming up and it would help me to know. THANKS!:)
 
I've done both, but prefer my apron with my merrill name tag and a button (usually about the business opportunity). I think the apron makes me stand out from the others.
 
I do both... I wear some short of shirt that says PC on it... I have a couple of nice blouses with the PC logo on it that I got, I also wear my apron and my name tag from Merrill.
 
ApronI usually just wear whatever is comfortable for me that day (skirt and nice blouse) or (capris and nice blouse) with my apron! It works for me and the apron usually gives it away that I am the PC lady!! I wear a button that says Ask me about PC! I will be wearing a name tag too!

Also weather has alot to do with it. I wouldn't be stuffy and too formal with this TX heat and humidity!! My next vendor table is outdoors!! :eek:

Debbie :D
 
I usually wear the apron. If nothing else, it gives me a place to keep extra drawing slips and recipe cards. :)
 
I wear a PC shirt; no apron. I don't like wearing the apron anyway (a personal preference) so I'm not going to wear it for the heck of it. LOL
 
I am glad that I read this...I was going to wear my PC shirt that I just bought and I might still wear that but I am also going to wear my apron...I didn't even think about that before...I have a Help Whip Cancer one and since the Stop and Shop that I am doing is for my Relay For Life team I think that I will wear that one. I also just bought a name tag so I am going to wear that as well.
 
I usually wear my apron over chinos and a blouse. I like the apron because then I stand out - and it gives me a place for drawing slips and business cards and stuff.
