Host a Shop Show: Ideas for a Successful Saturday Event

[angelkatey]

I have a host who is a beautician and wants me to have a show at her shop - She is wanting me to just have a table set up with products and take orders through the day. Have never done anything like this so far, so thought maybe someone had a good idea on the best way to do it outside of just setting there and looking out of place. Also any ideas on a good promo flyer to use prior to this - It is for the Saturday after Thanksgiving. Is in a small town shop. Thanks in advance for any ideas!!!!

I'd do a flyer that said something like "shop while avoiding the crowds".

We've had a couple of threads on similar topics here they are:

Could you set it up like a booth at a craft show or fair and do a prize drawing. Take a sack of potatoes and use the Mandoline with them and/or your knives....work back and forth. Just things to capture their attention and make conversation.
Maybe make a couple of gift set ideas up and display them. Nothing fancy.
Sounds like a great opportunity! Lucky you!!!!

I'm going to take food in to my mom's nail person when she goes again and share with them. It's a small shop in a small town and I'll bet I get some good responses from it.
