I have the awesome opportunity to participate in a Job Fair next Thursday at the local community college. I will be able to showcase PC as well as get show leads. It is 4 hours and table space was only $30!!!! There will be college students there I'm sure - as well as people of all ages.

So - I need ideas! I've done booths before but not those like a job fair. I have access to electricity and am taking my laptop and showing the Your Life Your Way DVD. I'll print flyers, take our recruiting brochure "the Green Ladies" I call it, - but really I guess I'm looking for your wisdom and clever unique ideas!
 
I would bring everything in the starter kit. That's about it. That way they can see exactly what they get for the price. You could make a flyer showing how much you made in your last 6 shows or your last month. Also showing them how much the products are normally vs. the price of the kit. And maybe the chart of director benefits. It maybe over kill but this is specifically for people looking for a job.
 
I'm not sure what the flier is called, but in the files section there is one with the breakdown of what you will spend on your kit and during you qualifying period vs. what you will make. It is very impressive when you look at it in black and white.

I'll look in the files and on my computer and see if I saved it.

Thanks Kearstin - that flyer is great. I remember seeing that awhile back.

Theres another that has something in it like "whether you love to cook, dont know how to cook...the PC is for you". I'm searching my files for that one.

That one comes to mind because the mom of one of my preschool kids is thinking of signing up! She is young - just 21 and says she just doesnt know how to cook - so we've scheduled a show (with me) and I am going to let her help me and use her kit credit. I told her she did not need to know how to cook at all - in fact this would help her with her little family and she would learn to love cooking!
