Prepare for Multiple Direct Sales Companies at Local Charity Event

[chefmoseley]

I have a booth this Thursday for a local company who is doing a company shopping spree. They are allowing multiple direct sales companies and are requesting a donation to Juvenile Diabetes Association of 15%. Attached is the original email and the updated email when I requested an approximate number of attendees. How many would you prepare for? I am so excited for the opportunity to help a charity as well as get leads and sales for SAT. Any advice is appreciated.

First email:

Hi Ladies
I would like to thank you all so much for participating in our Holiday
Shopping Event to benefit Juvenile Diabetes. Our event is scheduled for
this Thursday, November 13th from 11:30am to 1:30pm. I will have a table
set up for each of you for your products - if you think you might require
more than one please let me know. You can come as early as 11am to set up
and you can clean up anytime you deem appropriate. We have representatives from Lia, Sophia, Pampered Chef, Mary Kay, Silpada
Jewelry and Tastefully Simple.

Second Email:
Unfortunately, I cannot give you a number. We have a total of
approximately 300 in our building although a lot of people work remotely or
maybe on travel.

Make sure you register this on CC for the random drawing. Who knows, they could call you.

I am guessing you should prepare for 50-75 people to
attend.Hi there,I'm excited to hear about your booth for the company shopping spree this Thursday! It's always great to see businesses giving back to their community, especially for a cause like the Juvenile Diabetes Association.Based on the updated email, it sounds like you should prepare for 50-75 attendees. It's always better to be over-prepared, so I would suggest having enough materials and products for at least 100 people. You never know, there might be a bigger turnout than expected!In terms of advice, I would recommend having a visually appealing and organized display to catch people's attention. Also, make sure to have a way for attendees to easily sign up for more information or to purchase products, such as a sign-up sheet or online form. And don't forget to have plenty of business cards or flyers to hand out to potential leads.Good luck with the event and I hope it's a successful one for both the charity and your business!
