Maximizing Booth Sales: Tips for Catalog Shows and More

[laylaleigh]

How do you enter sales from your booths/fairs? Do you usually open a catalog show in your name?

TIA - layla

Yeah, I do it as a catalog show if there's enough orders!! If not, just tag it on to someone's show & you'd be responsible to get the product from the host to the guest!! Good luck!

I just cover the direct shipping. I charge them the $4 and pay the difference as a thank you. That way you don't have to fool with driving around town to make pick-ups and/or deliveries. If that is the type of customer service you wish to provide that is AWESOME, but I choose not to and handle cs over the phone or through email.

I agree with Chef Kerns to avoid having to track people down. If you have enough orders, do a separate show and make one of those booth people a mystery host. Being pleasantly surprised at getting free product can make them a return customer and have them tell their friends.

I do a catalog show in my name (or sometimes in the person's name with the largest order & let them have the host special). Or if I have a show close to that time, I'll maybe add it to theirs.

I didn't say "Chef Success" I wrote "c" "s" and it changed it to Chef Success. LOL too funny!! Now I sound like an idiot (not like that'd be the only reason ):angel:

I don't want to handle Chef Success over the phone either. I prefer to handle Chef Success on my computer. But Customer Service is another issue entirely!! LOL

Just picking on you! Oh thank you Greg for the edit button!!!! I use it alot!!

I mark it as a catalog show or tack it on to someone elses - I alway have them pay the direct shipping so I'm not running all around delivering orders.
