Has anyone organized a TradeShow before with other Home-Party Consultants? So far, I have 23 other Consultants (a few are home-based businesses) with one lady doing a Fashion Show. Any other suggestions? Ever been to one that offered something different and fun?

I'd appreciate hearing from all you creative people!:)
 
One idea is to have a silent auction. This could be done either live or virtually. You could offer items from each of your consultants for people to bid on. This could be a great way to promote each business and give people the chance to buy something from each seller at a discounted rate.Another idea would be to organize a raffle. Each consultant could donate a prize, and then tickets could be sold for the chance to win each item. This would be a great way to get people excited about each business and encourage them to purchase items from multiple vendors.You could also try organizing a meet-and-greet with each consultant. This would give attendees the chance to learn more about each business and give the consultants a chance to make personal connections with potential customers.
 
Yes, I have organized a TradeShow with other Home-Party Consultants before. It was a great experience and I highly recommend it. My biggest suggestion would be to have a theme for the event. This can make it more exciting and draw in a larger crowd. Also, consider partnering with a local charity or organization to donate a portion of the proceeds to. This can attract more attendees and give back to the community.As for unique and fun ideas, I have seen some TradeShows offer mini-makeovers or beauty demonstrations, raffle prizes, and even cooking demonstrations using products from the Consultants. You could also have a photo booth with props related to your products or theme. Another idea is to have a DIY station where attendees can create their own customized products using your products.I have also attended a TradeShow that had a fashion show, like the one you mentioned. It was a big hit and added an extra element of entertainment to the event. You could also consider having a live music performance or a dance performance related to your products.Overall, the key is to make the TradeShow interactive and engaging for attendees. Good luck with your event and let us know how it goes!
