Understanding How a Booth Works: Displaying and Selling at Events

In summary, a booth is a place where people can come to buy items from a business. A business can set up a booth at a local town hall, Christmas craft sales, or Fall Street Festival.

Can someone please explain to me how a booth works? Do i bring my items for display and let the buyers order out the catalogs or am I supposed to have the items for them to take home that day?

Thanks!
 
Most of us are at a booth to get bookings and recruits. There will be people who come by that are interested in purchasing items. I will add these orders to a show I have open. I also have the replacement parts list with me, so I can take orders for those if needed.

I set up some of our popular items: the kit, cookware (with the special for August), information about the business, wedding registry, I use recipe cards as my business cards and a way to draw people to my website. I have a drawing for a giveaway (whatever you may have together: 8x8 square baking pan, spatula, SB recipe book, etc. I use the trifle bowl for drawing slips. I also have my booking tree with a sign saying FREE cooking show (just pick a date). When people are filling out the slip I ask if they are wanting the (whatever I'm giving away) or the FREE cooking show. I can then talk to them about what I will bring (ingredients) to their show, what the specials are, etc. I have the Merrill PC banner hanging up and a Help Wanted sign.

Thanks for replying back to my question. My only problem is to find a fair to have a booth at.
 
Depending on where you live, you may still have outdoor county fairs through September. In Oregon our fairs stop in August except for the first week of September for State Fair. Many states, because of the heat, wait until September when it is cooler. Check the web for a listing of chamber of commerce for local towns, and county websites. Find out if local churches have bazaars. Read your local paper. I find them posted there sometimes with numbers for contacts.
 
Town Halls generally have lists of Current Events, that you might find on their website. You could also call your local Churches to find out when they have their Bazaars. Those can be inexpensive to buy into, and widen your circle of contacts. Ours for example,
only charged $20 for an 8ft. table. I got two bookings from it, but no sales to speak of, this past November. Historical Societies sometimes have Fund raiser bazaars. Ours charged $35 for three days.

What part of Louisiana do you live?
 
Christmas craft sales will be coming up for November-ish...
 
and Fall Street Festivals can be a possibility. Alot of towns in my area do them in the Fall. I've got one for Halloween - a town's street festival/craft fair. Can't wait!
