I Am Doing a Booth at a Vendor Fair This Weekend and Was Wondering

[StacieB]

I am doing a booth at a vendor fair this weekend and was wondering what you have used in the past if asked for a Raffle Item? I have a few products on hand. Was wondering if a Gift Certificate would be ok to do or if I should do product? Thanks for any advice.

Re: RaffleI've done the gift certificate. (I used my own, worth $10 or worth $25 "at your own show.") I recently listened to a training CD, though, that had a really good point. People like to see what they're getting. I've got an extra Trifle Bowl. At my next expo I'll be putting a few small items I have on hand inside and wrapping it in cellophane with a pretty bow. The point they made on the CD was that what you're doing should be visually striking.

Re: RaffleThat sounds good Rae, Thanks. I do have a Tool Turn about. I might do that with a mini serving spatula and a couple other things.

Re: RaffleSo, Rae, are you saying you're using the Trifle Bowl as the raffle prize, or just as an example of what they could buy with their gc?

Re: RaffleThe thing I like about doing a GC that's redeemable only through me is that I know I will have the opportunity to make a new contact. When they get a prize, they usually don't contact the consultant afterwards.

Re: RaffleMaybe do a GC with a Season's Best and Serving Spatula? I was just thinking about this very same thing for an upcoming booth I have. Thanks for the suggesstions.

The Trifle Bowl filled with a couple of extra (new in box) products I already have on hand will be the prize. I've done this expo before, and I usually get $200 - $500 in sales. Plus, I've already got these things on hand, so there's nothing out of pocket.
