I am setting up a booth at my local fall fest..... this is my first booth. What do I take? I want to target future host, recruites, and sales. I have catalogs, business cards, some info postcards, bridal registry cards and recruiting items. I plan on setting up a little display with products too.

What else do I need?
 
I've never done one (my first one is in Oct), but I am anxious to see what the others suggest. Anyone have pictures?
 
I've never done one either. my first one will be next month:)
 
Look under 'booth', in the files section above... there is some good info.

You should make a basket filled (things you may have duplicates of, or use for door prizes, etc) with products to be raffled off then people will be more likely to fill out a drawing slip to "enter to win" the basket full of products than just give you their number for more info about pchef... that is how my director does it. It works well.
 
Hi there! Congratulations on setting up your first booth at the fall fest! It's a great opportunity to showcase your business and reach out to potential future hosts, recruits, and customers. It sounds like you already have a good start with the catalogs, business cards, info postcards, bridal registry cards, and recruiting items. In addition to those, here are some other items you may want to consider bringing:1. Samples: People love to try before they buy, so having some product samples available can be a great way to generate interest and potential sales.2. Recipe cards: If you have any popular or seasonal recipes that feature your products, consider printing out some recipe cards to hand out at your booth. This can be a great conversation starter and also showcase the versatility of your products.3. Promotional materials: Consider creating some flyers or brochures that highlight any current specials or promotions you have going on. This can entice potential customers to make a purchase or book a party.4. Demonstration tools: If you plan on doing any product demonstrations at your booth, make sure you have all the necessary tools and equipment. This could include things like a cutting board, knives, measuring cups, etc.5. Signage: Make sure your booth is eye-catching and easy to find. Consider creating a banner or sign with your business name and logo to help draw people in.6. Giveaways: Everyone loves free stuff! Consider having a small giveaway, such as a raffle or prize wheel, to attract people to your booth and collect their contact information for future follow-ups.7. Business attire: You want to look professional and put-together at your booth, so make sure you have appropriate business attire to wear. This will help make a good impression on potential customers and recruits.Hope this helps and best of luck with your booth at the fall fest! Happy selling!
