Might Exhibit at a Fair, but Need Your Help!!!

[KimmyDarling]

My recruiter and I might be able to get into a fair at the end of the month. It's a neighborhood fair held at a middle school, so lots of families.

Tricky thing is that no food or beverages are allowed at all, so we need to get creative with our demos.

We'd like it to be interactive-- so far, I've come up with play-doh and creative cutters, etc., and a What Does This Do? game for the kids to guess the functions of different tools.

We're definitely going to have info on fund-raising, wedding registry, the opportunity, etc., as well as feature gift-shopping, and give away free cooking classes every half-hour, but what are some other things we can do that are interactive, fun, and can showcase our products, while adhering to their strict no food policy? I'd love some suggestions.

Thanks for your help!

Kimmy

Your ideas sound great! I can't think of any more right now...maybe do the hands-on you mentioned, and just be there to talk to people; answer questions. I'd have the holiday wish lists available too.
I'll try to think of more things...good luck to you!

Hey Kimmy - I never demo food or drinks at a fair - that gives you more time to talk to ALL THE PEOPLE that will be stopping by! I am on the way to work, but I have a document somewhere with lots of ideas that I will dig up for you.
The glitter in the QSP is an awesome idea that I always do. Go to Michaels and look for some glittery halloween confetti - and let the kids "plunge". They love it.
Have yourself a good day! Im so tickled this is going well for you! Where is the fair you are doing? ~c~
