Oh Wow, Booth Opportunity During Holidays!!

so, I also have my own WAHM business that is sewing etc (knitting supplies, dyed yarn etc) that we were entering in a "craft" fair the first weekend in November.

So when my parter was on the phone with the lady, she asked about other vendors allowed, and the lady said only things like Pampered Chef etc etc.

So my partner asked if they had a PC person yet, and she said NO--that was the only one not done yet! And we could have that spot included in our original entry price.

So we have the application filled out and turned in. Just crossing fingers that no one else turns one in before us!

So now--I have to figure out what to do to make this a success! And how do you input orders from this??

When I do fairs I typically use it to get leads. Recruit and host leads. I offer a drawing using the drawing slips and call everyone who fills one out. Only one person wins the drawing, but anyone who books a show from those calls or at the fair wins a prize the day of their show.(I typically give the host something anyway for hosting.) I do take orders if someone wants to place one. I either have my laptop with me and enter it directly into Pampered Partner, or I just use the regular receipts. Good Luck!

I just found out that a fair I was set to do at the end of the month booked two PC people. I happened to meet the other PC person and were talking. They actually cashed both of our checks! The issue has yet to be resolved!
