Selling Stock at Fairs and Events: What You Need to Know

In summary, events with a large number of attendees and a diverse demographic, such as trade shows, craft fairs, food festivals, and community events, are best for selling Pampered Chef products. It is important to research and comply with any local laws and regulations, such as obtaining temporary sales tax or food handler's permits. Your booth or table should be eye-catching and inviting, with samples, special deals, and business cards readily available. To attract customers, you can offer free samples or demonstrations, have a raffle or giveaway, or provide informational sessions or workshops. After the event, follow up with potential customers, offer special discounts, and gather feedback for future events.

Just wondering if anyone on here keeps stock....

Do you sell it at fairs, etc.?

What do you with it if you have it?

I've got tons of stuff and wasn't sure if we were allowed to sell stuff at fairs, etc. b/c i know i've read in the recipe for success it says to keep inventory we have to order at least 6 of each item.
 
I purchased several "cash & carry" items for an open house that I particpated in back around the holidays. I had several Easy Openers, Season's Best, I-slice, bamboo items ...items I knew would make great stocking stuffers... and then made up some really cute gift baskets with samples of the soap, lotion, seasoning samples plus various of the cash and carry items and then priced the baskets according to what I put in each one. It worked out really well...I think people appreciated having some items there to buy, and went on to purchase larger items.
 



Hi there! I do keep stock, but I don't sell it at fairs or events. I mainly keep it for personal use or to give as gifts to friends and family. I haven't looked into selling at fairs or events, but I do know that some people do it successfully. As for the inventory requirements, I think it's always good to check with the company or read the terms and conditions to make sure you're following their guidelines. Hope that helps!
