Creative Ideas for a Bridal Expo Booth

[Kelly8]

One of my superstars on my team is doing a bridal expo next weekend and is looking for some creative ideas to do at her booth. I have passed along some of my ideas, but would love to hear yours, too!

When I do mine, I print out the coupon with a recipe as a great way to get your name out there. But the best thing to do is have a raffle and get them to enter for it.
They get so much info at the shows and then throw most of it away. I print out the bridal letter and send it to them. Then I call them about one week after I sent out the letter, reminding them who I am and that even though they didn't win the raffle, they did win a FREE Pampered Bridal Shower Show. Most love this and then we talk dates. It really helps to get that date on your book now, so that you can get back to them and they can get with whomever is throwing the shower and let them know so that you can coordinate theme ideas, ect.
Good luck to her! It's a lot of work, but the payoffs can be so rewarding.

Cara -

I saw you idea about the FREE Pampered Chef bridal shower and liked it. I have give away a "free party fr raffle winners at other booths but I"m wondering if people have different expectations for a bridal shower. After all, most have a LOT of people and serve some sort of meal - at least certainly more than would be typical of the "taste" the guests get at a PC party. So how do you present it? And what exactly to you provide "free."

When I raffle off FREE cooking shows, I pay for the postage of the invites (which I usually do anyway, but it is still free to them) and I buy all of the ingredients for the recipe that we cook, bring paper plates, forks, soda, and cups. And I have even brought a dessert (already cooked). So they basically just have to give me the guest list and are good.

Hi there! Congratulations to your superstar on participating in the bridal expo! Bridal events are a great opportunity to showcase our products and connect with potential customers. Here are some ideas that I have found to be successful at expos:1. Create a "honeymoon basket" display: Fill a basket with various kitchen tools and gadgets that would be perfect for a newlywed couple on their honeymoon. This will catch the eye of engaged couples and spark their interest in our products.2. Offer cooking demonstrations: Set up a mini kitchen at the booth and offer live cooking demonstrations using our products. This will not only attract people to your booth, but also give them a taste of what our products can do.3. Have a raffle: Collect names and contact information from interested attendees and hold a raffle for a popular kitchen tool or cookbook. This will not only help generate leads, but also create buzz around your booth.4. Offer a special promotion: Create a special promotion for brides-to-be, such as a discount on bridal shower gifts or a free gift with purchase. This will incentivize them to make a purchase and potentially become long-term customers.5. Partner with other vendors: Reach out to other vendors at the expo and collaborate on a joint promotion or giveaway. This will help expand your reach and attract more visitors to your booth.I hope these ideas help and wish your superstar all the best at the expo! Let's continue to support and share creative ideas within our team. Good luck!
