Any tips on doing this as the demo at shows? I made it at home a couple weeks ago and it was a HUGE hit!!! Just wondering how well it works for shows.....
 
I made it at my last show, I did the pasta recipe. I arrived ahead of time about an hour and started cooking and cutting. I cooked the pasta and cut up the veggies. I started cooking the meat about the time people started arriving, they loved to smell it cooking when they arrived.
 
As a fellow demo at shows, I can offer some tips on showcasing your product effectively. First off, make sure to have a well-designed and eye-catching display set up. This will draw people in and make them curious about your product. Also, have samples ready to give out so that people can taste or try your product for themselves. This will help generate interest and potential sales.Another tip is to have a short and engaging pitch prepared to explain your product and its benefits. Keep it concise and to the point, but make sure to highlight what makes your product stand out and why it was a huge hit at home.It's also helpful to have visuals such as photos or videos of your product being made or used. This will give people a better understanding of your product and its potential.Lastly, be enthusiastic and passionate about your product. This will show potential customers that you truly believe in your product and can help convince them to give it a try.Good luck at your shows!
