I will be setting up a booth on next Wednesday on a military base here. It is a program called Super Sign Up. I am fairly new to TPC and I have never had a booth. Could you guys give me some ideas on how to set it up. I don't have any banners or anything and I don't think I have time to get any made. Thanks!
 
Haven't done a booth yet, but you have to order your banners from Merrill. You can't just take the logo to a sign shop, PC is strict about that stuff.

I would suggest (from what I've read here) display your starter and other items, set up your table in a U so you are not "trapped" behind it. Have ppl fill out door prize slips but do the drawing after so you can call everyone and tell them they won a free cooking show. That is where you buy the ingredients. Should get you bookings from what the folks on here say.

Good luck!

Thank you, Lisa. I emailed you! I couldn't figure out how to reply to the pm. I thought I was more computer literate than that!!!!
 
I am doing a booth at a Street Fair in September. Are you doing cash & carry? or strictly catalog orders? I will be sharing the booth with my friend who is a consultant for Home Interiors. What size signs do you recommend? I am kind of clueless!! LOL Advice is greatly appreciated!! :)
 
Susie,

Hi, I'm from Louisiana too. I live in Slidell.

I just did a booth at one of our parks. I'll tell you how we did it. We took orders only. I had a few catalogs that I gave out. I wish I would have thought to bring old ones to give when I ran out of the spring/summer ones. I didn't want to deplete my stash since it was the end of the season.

What we didn't bring and wish we had was a tent, extension cord, and light, since it turned dark while we were there. We didn't have a banner either, but I don't have one. Instead, we made signs and taped them onto the table where people walking could see it. I also sold squares to the pool. I had the one that holds 46 squares that you sell for $2.00 each. I wish we had used the one with 30 squares, though, b/c it was hard to sell for some reason.

We had two banquet tables and used both our crates with tablecloths over them. We also used some of the boxes that the new stuff came in to have heighth. I grouped the super starter set together (with the exception of the knife b/c kids were everywhere). We displayed big sellers, our specials we're running right now (free pitcher, etc.), and new items. I actually got a recruit from it and a couple of leads.

This was a night against crime party coupled with a kind of a thank you party for the fire department, police, etc., who helped during the storm. It was fun.

good luck!!!

Mary
