with drawing slips that people did not fill out completely?? I had a fair over the weekend and had about 15 people not mark any boxes (got 3 yeses about hosting, 4 maybes and 1 possible recruit!) Do you call them anyway and tell them that they won a free cooking show? I was giving away the grilling planks and a cookie press and was thinking that I could call someone who put noting and tell them they won one of the prizes and then ask them if they would want to talk...Hmmm...and ideas?

Thanks!

Elizabeth
 
If you have their number then they probably won't mind you calling. Just say that you pulled her name from a drawing for a free show and you were wondering if she would be interested.
 
Yep ~ I'd call them!

Absolutely call them. You don't even have to make reference to the fact that they didn't mark anything.
 
I call and thank them for stopping by my booth. I ask if they have any questions or if I can do anything at all for them.
 
Definately call them. I have had booths the past two weekends and have booked shows for people who only gave me their name and phone number.

I let them know they won a free kitchen show. I love it, because my June is starting to shape up. :)
 
If they gave you their number then they gave you permission to call them. They wanted to win something so tell them they won the free cooking show! Who knows, they just might turn out to be a great host or customer.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I receive incomplete drawing slips after an event?

If you receive incomplete drawing slips, first try to contact the individuals who submitted them. Use any provided information to reach out and ask for the missing details. If you cannot contact them, consider keeping the slips for future reference or as a reminder to follow up at a later date.

How can I encourage guests to fill out drawing slips completely?

To encourage guests to fill out drawing slips completely, explain the benefits of providing their information, such as exclusive offers or follow-up on their interests. You can also simplify the form by minimizing the required fields and clearly indicating which information is essential.

What are some strategies for following up with leads from incomplete drawing slips?

For leads from incomplete drawing slips, follow up by sending a friendly email or message thanking them for attending and asking if they would like to provide additional information. You can also invite them to a future event or offer a special promotion to encourage engagement.

How can I track and manage incomplete drawing slips effectively?

To track and manage incomplete drawing slips effectively, create a spreadsheet or database where you can log the details of each slip. Include columns for the name, contact information, and notes on what information is missing. This will help you stay organized and prioritize follow-ups.

What should I do if I never hear back from someone after following up on an incomplete slip?

If you never hear back from someone after following up, it’s best to move on but keep their slip on file for future reference. You can also consider reaching out again after some time, perhaps with a new promotion or event, to see if they are interested in engaging with you again.
