Preparing for a 2-Day Expo and 1-Night Booth Event

[noelskitchen]

I started a new thread, this may have been covered but I have to really focus on preparing myself for a expo in Sept for 2 days (doing it by myself) and another booth in October for 1 night that I'm doing with my team. There's an estimated 3,000 for the first event and maybe 1,000 for the second.

How much in supplies does the average consultant bring? The first expo is 2 hours away from where I live and I don't want to run out of things.

Catalogues, information slips, flyers, and whatever you want to decorate your booth with.

I just did one this weekend. We probably had 500 people walk through. We had business cards, recipe cards to pass out to everyone, host flyers, fundraising info, bridal shower info. We also did a door prize and had sheets for them to fill in to get an entry. We set up the table with the consultant kit and had a PC banner. Overall I think it went very well with this format. We did run out of business cards and recipe cards. I would definately plan on bringing more than expected. Ow yeah, we also had brought lots of catalogs to give out and realized we may never hear from them again if we gave them one. So we had them fill out a door prize slip and we agreed to mail a catalog. That way we could follow up with a call to make sure they received the catalog and what not. Hope this helps.

I like the idea of having them fill out a door prize slip for follow up on a catelog. I have mini's I'm going to use when I do mine but with the expense of catelogs I just didn't want to be giving them out to everyone, so this was helpful. Thank you

Good ideas. That's about what I thought. Since Carson City, NV. is 2 hours away from me, I'd thought about focusing on recruiting but if I have to drive to Carson City area to do a show I'd have to do it on a weekend since I work full-time.
