These are pics from a last minute booth invite we had back in October. The event was in support of Domestic Violence Task Force. We collected a few orders, mostly the pumpkin plate special. Only cost us $10 for the day and the table and tablecloth were supplied.

I did a craft fair in October and this was the booth. It was my first one! There were not many people that come through but I still sold $150, booked 2 catalog shows, received many contacts and a possible recruit.

Here is a booth that I did before Christmas!! I got 3 bookings along with 2 catalog shows. I was very successful before Christmas with booths. I think that I did 5 and got bookings and sold stuff at everyone.

Found two other pictures of booths I have had in the last month. The one table was from a fundraiser and the other one was at a Christmas Craft Show. I booked shows at both but was very excited to have over $500 in sales at the Christmas Craft Show (and it got snowed out the second day).

Does anyone have any pics of a Bridal Fair/Booth that you have done?
 
Sorry Jode7227 I do not have any yet but am doing a bridal fair the 29th of Jan. and will post pictures after that.
 
I did a bridal expo on Jan 2. I have 4 registries set up already and 9 more potentials, for when their weddings are closer. Here are my pics.

Nothing posted
 
Did my first booth yesterday! Made lots of contacts and got a couple orders, plus an offer to do a fundraiser later in the year for the organization the flea market was at! WOO!
Anyway, doing it made me think I really need some tablecloths and risers and whatnot - here is what I ended up with!

Heres pictures of the booth I did today :)
 
I've used a photo paper (with post it sticky on the back) to post host specials on my bar pan (on an easel). It didn't leave any residue. However, this year I am out of that paper and can't find it in any store. I used the square cool and serve tray with candy in it. It was great to show the customers how it all comes together and how it can be used. I averaged selling two (orders) per festival last year. I also have a drawing box (from Merrill) with some slips for a free cookbook(with my name and contact info on it). People will sign up for anything free. Most of the time, they are truly interested in Pampered Chef, so calling them to follow up was easy. I also hand out a lot of recipe cards for those that stop by (they ALWAYS have my contact information on them!)
 
Thanks everyone for awesome ideas! I'm doing my first expo this Saturday, it's a fundraiser for Wounded Warrior Project. Crossing my fingers it'll be a great day... I was worried about creating an inviting & interesting booth, but ya'll just completely solved that for me.
 
Bobbi, do you have more close-up pictures of what you have on the bubbles and other parts of your board? I would like to replicate this as much as possible. It is awesome!
 
I LOVE this board! Do you still have the file you make the Pampered Chef sign with? Everything I download and put into word is to small and blures when I enlarge it.

Thank you!

I've done several in the last year...from traditional street fairs, to school fundraiser fairs, and a consignment sale (week long) in which I wasn't always on-site (so little product sometimes).

Here are a few snapshots...
 
I set up a table at an Elementary School's Fall Fest on Saturday. This school is the one my kids will go to, and I have another one next Saturday. Got a few contacts (most parents were being dragged by their kids past the table), and booked two shows.

Noora,
This is great! I love the way you put the host benefits out there!
Can you tell me what the little purple arrows are saying?
Thanks!
Cathy

Those are Post-Its, and they have my next few available dates on them. The two flyers are the October and November host specials. The ones on the November one also say "Free Turkey!" since the dates are prior to the 15th.

Oh, and about the stands the flyers are in. I was cheap, and instead of paying $8 a pop for the 8.5" x 11" ones at the office supply stores, I got 8" x 10" picture frame ones at Wal-Mart for $2.50 each. They're not the greatest quality, but I don't do a huge number of booths, so they work for me.
 
These pics are awesome, thank you for sharing!
 
So for those of you that have done a booth . . . is it worth it? The PTA at my daughters school is doing a holiday vendor fair. . .and I have never done one before so idk if I should and if I do do it how ? ? ? ?

I did two fall fests the past two weekends. The school sets up activities and such for the kids, and invite vendors for the parents to check out. One was pretty good (third year in a row), got two bookings and a few contacts. The second one was a flop, the location of my table wasn't that great, got three contacts. However, even those three are three more than I had the night before, and one took a packet for a catalog show.

If it's specifically billed as a vendor fair, you should have even better luck, as that's what they are expecting.
 
Thanks Noora,
Ok so now my next question. . . I have looked at everyone pictures. Do you have stuff to sell there, just stuff for people to look at, what should I have and do? Sorry I really never did one before and I really have big goals so I want to make the best of everything I can. Thanks in advance for any info :blushing:

I was on a military base for my first 3 years & "cash & carry" is against the military regulations. So I never had C&C, I only did orders. In a 5 hour booth, I'd usually have a $200-$300 show & at least 2 bookings, usually 3-5 bookings. And I gave up on drawings a LONG time ago. I only took contact info from people who liked PC enough to linger at my table. I'd start a conversation with them & offer to put them on by e-mail newsletter, then go from there with bookings/recruiting.
