I know I've seen this discussed on here before so please forgive me but this would be the first time I've done a booth at a fair before and I don't have a clue what to do. I have lots of products that I've accumulated thru bonuses etc in my 4 months as a consultant. Can I sell these at my booth? What are some ideas for bookings? Should I have a raffle of some sort? I don't really have any high priced items to raffle off but I could definitely buy some before then. I still have a month of kit enhancement in May since my 4th month fell in April. Does anyone remember the thread this was discussed on originally? Thanks in advance!

Hi Nicky. Here are some things that I do.
Book to look- I use plastic eggs and fill them with product names between $5 and $10. I say if they get on my calendar right now for this or next month, they can pick an egg and I'll buy it for them at their show closing.
I usually offer a free cookbook (seasons best) to those who place an order $25 or more.
For a drawing, I like to use a self made GC. If you give a product, they can take the product and run never to see them again. I do a $20 GC that they can use toward a new consultant kit, free show, or products.
