Farmers MarketsDoes anyone do a farmers market? How often? Is it worth it for bookings and new recruits?
 
I organize a PC booth at one and usually man the booth one Saturday a month. It costs $35 for 4 hours and they provide a 12' square covering and a covered table. I usually make my money back in either bookings or sales.
 
One of my daughters has her birthday right before Christmas (Dec. 20), and I try to do something to make it special and different. She'll be seven this year, and I was thinking about doing a Noah's Ark party, but was wondering if anyone had been to one and/or seen their product? Any and all experiences would be appreciated!
 
Whenever I hear this companies name I think of a water park. Here in WI we have a city called Wisconsin Dells that is known for indoor and outdoor water parks. Nohah's Ark is the best outdoor waterpark!:cheerleader:

sorry never been to any of these parties
 
Hi there! As a Pampered Chef consultant, I highly recommend participating in farmers markets. It's a great way to showcase our products and reach a new audience. I suggest doing it at least once a month, if not more frequently. Not only can it lead to bookings and new recruits, but it also gives you the opportunity to network with other vendors and potentially collaborate on future events. Plus, it's a fun and interactive way to engage with customers and demonstrate our products. Overall, I believe it is definitely worth it for your business. Best of luck!
