I would make the brides fill out a survey slip before handing them a bag, that way you can follow up with them!! It's a little more expensive than other ways, but you'll be remembered better!
I agree with Ann, when I was getting married I got alot of information. Then when I got home I kept all the stuff I wanted to look through more and threw the rest away. That's why I suggested the bridal registry info and a recipe card with a label on it.chefann said:As a vendor, I'm tempted to say, "put together bags." So they have all the info they need and can get excited about what we have to offer.
But as a participant (went to a couple of bridal fairs with my sister when she was planning her wedding), something that large and expensive would be a waste of materials. We gathered things from every vendor, and most of it went into the trash. I do suggest that you put a recipe on what you hand out - people will keep a recipe. And staple or paper clip everything together. A bride may throw out the registry brochure if that's all she's got in her hand, but if she sees it with a recipe card or postcard with recipe and list of our other offerings, she may just keep the packet and call you. But something big that's in a bag is likely to get pitched without being opened.
See if the organizer of the event has a # of pre-registered brides to give you an idea. My team did an event in Jan and all three of us ran out of materials (over 1000 brides). We just did another event a few weeks ago & I had lots of leftovers. The event wasn't nearly as big but I was over prepared! I give out the registry flyer, mini spring catalog & a flyer that I made up with info, coupon, etc. We had separate drawings - 1 for everyone to enter, the 2nd with bigger gifts for those brides registering on the spot! We each had 15 on the spot registries, some that have edited their list so they should be viable. Others it seems were just in it for the prize. This was at the first fair we did in Jan. The 2nd one no one registered on the spot. Strange how different they were.chefallison53 said:Any advice on the number of bags to make?
sarahlegare said:I would bring a bunch of EMPTY bags, then as you're talking to people, fill the bag with info that would directly help them! I did this at a Diva Mall & it worked quite well! People collected "stuff" from other booths, but my bag with the PC logo on it was EVERYWHERE!! I will definately do it this way again. I have lots of leftover bags that people give me or I get with orders. I think you can order them on a supply order too. Do the Catalog bags have our logo??
"toBag or Not to Bag?" is a campaign by Pampered Chef to encourage customers to reduce their use of plastic bags by using reusable bags instead.
Plastic bags are harmful to the environment and take hundreds of years to decompose. By reducing their use, we can help protect our planet and wildlife.
You can participate by purchasing and using one of our reusable bags, and by spreading the word to your friends and family about the importance of reducing plastic bag usage.
Reusable bags are not only eco-friendly, but they are also more durable and can hold more items than a plastic bag. They are also easier to carry and can save you money in the long run.
Yes, you can still recycle plastic bags at designated recycling centers or at participating grocery stores. However, reducing their use is still the best way to help the environment.
