I am doing a booth tonight where last years turn out was 300+ people. I plan to display a couple of gift ideas, cattys, spices, cook books, and of course recruitment brochures. Any other ideas? I have read through the threads just want to make sure I am not missing anything. I did not start getting nervouse until today. LOL
 
If you have the space, consider adding a few interactive elements such as a prize wheel, raffle tickets, or a trivia game. This can help draw in more people and keep them engaged. You could also offer samples of food items or recipes made with your spices, or offer a coupon for a discount if they purchase an item at the booth. If you have any interesting stories about how the products were created or how you source ingredients, this would be a great way to engage with potential customers. Finally, consider setting up a social media hashtag for people to use when posting about the booth or products, this will help you track the success of the event. Good luck!

This could be a sample of a new product or a small product from your line.8.
