I am not sure how to follow up with some of the leads from my last vendor event. There are two situations.
1) My raffle was "enter to win a free cooking show." I used the PC drawing slips that ask I would like to learn more about: Hosting a fun cooking show. Three of the people checked "no" to hosting but the raffle was to win a free show. I'm confused. For everyone one else I called and said congratulations you won the free cooking show blah, blah, blah. But since these one said no to hosting I wonder if I should say anything about it? "Congrats you won, but I see you weren't interested anyway. So would you consider?" I wouldn't actually say those words of course, but should I acknowledge it in any way? Or just go with my standard, you won....?
2) Situation two is that I traded some leads with a cluster mate who worked the same event on a different day. We traded a few based on location to get people closer to us. Her raffle was "Enter to win the host benefits generated for the show/event." I actually didn't have any sales at the show so I don't have any benefits to give away. I want to be able to call the leads on a positive note though. I am OK with offering them a free cooking show, but what if they ask about the host benefits? Should I just say you won $10 free, but if you host a show I will double it to $20 free? Or some sort of promotion?
Which leads to a more general question, if the raffle you do at a show doesn't lend itself to be an everyone wins raffle like free show, then how do you follow up? What do you say when you call? "Thank you for stopping by the PC booth. Have you ever considered hosting?"
Thanks for any advice! =)
