Is anyone having luck wtih their leads they got from a bridal fair? We did one in Feb, a month before the registry started. I was good with the follow up leading up to March or at least thought I was and have nothing to show for it. I think since we had nothing to show them on our website for a month hurt us.

Does anyone have any suggestion to reconnect again? I thought to send the registy information again and call them a few days later.
 
I have not had ANY luck from the leads I have gotten at the 2 fairs I have done....well, actually that is not all true....I did get one show out of the last one (from a vendor who was stationed right next to me who heard my spiel all day long and must've thought I was desperate!).

As far as registries, I only have one (and it is a family member!). I think I am done spending time and $$ on the fair thing. May be seaonal, may be where you are located in the country....
 
I did a bridal fair in Jan. I followed up, offered a free show to all the brides that entered my drawing and no one took me up on it. One bride did a catalog show, but that's it.
 
ME tooI did a bridal expo in April. I split it with another consultant. So far, only 1 person actually started their bridal registry. I called all of the leads and emailed the handful I had email addreses for. Most people were quite rude and did not want to be bothered. The ones that were interested the day of the fair have not returned my emails or calls yet.

As for reconnecting, I'm all for spending the least amount of money. So I would send an email (if possible) and follow up with a phone call. If you don't have emails, then send them a mini-catalog and follow up with a phone call!
 
Hi there! I'm sorry to hear that you haven't had much luck with your leads from the bridal fair. It can definitely be frustrating when we put in the effort to follow up and see no results. One suggestion I have is to try reaching out to them through a different platform, such as social media or email. You could also offer a special promotion or discount specifically for brides who attended the fair. Another idea is to host a virtual cooking class or demonstration that they can attend from the comfort of their own home. This could be a great way to showcase your products and services and reignite their interest. I hope these suggestions help and best of luck reconnecting with your leads!
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I do if I didn't get any leads from the bridal fair?

If you didn't receive any leads from the bridal fair, don't be discouraged. Start by reviewing your approach at the event. Consider reaching out to attendees via social media or email, thanking them for visiting your booth, and offering them a special promotion or incentive to engage with your products. Additionally, evaluate your display and materials to see if improvements can be made for future events.

How can I effectively follow up with leads after a bridal fair?

Effective follow-up is key to converting leads into customers. Send a personalized email or message to each lead, referencing your conversation at the fair. Include a special offer or a link to your website where they can explore your products. Make sure to follow up within a week of the event to keep the conversation fresh in their minds.

What types of content should I share with my leads to re-engage them?

To re-engage your leads, share valuable content that resonates with their interests. This could include recipes using Pampered Chef products, cooking tips, or information about upcoming promotions. You can also share testimonials or success stories from other customers to build trust and encourage them to consider your products.

How can I use social media to reconnect with leads from the bridal fair?

Social media is a powerful tool for reconnecting with leads. Find and follow them on platforms like Facebook or Instagram. Engage with their posts by liking or commenting, and send them a direct message to remind them of your conversation at the fair. Share engaging content related to your products to keep them interested and informed.

What are some common mistakes to avoid when following up with bridal fair leads?

Common mistakes include being too pushy or sales-focused in your follow-up, which can turn leads off. Avoid sending generic messages; instead, personalize your communication based on your interaction at the fair. Additionally, don’t wait too long to follow up, as leads may lose interest. Lastly, ensure your follow-up is timely and relevant to their needs.
