Did Anyone Make BRU Yesterday? Sharing Experiences

[Chef Diane]

I didn't get to make BRU yesterday due to car trouble. Was all set with item to purchase at the table Was wondering if anyone did one and how did you do. In the past I got a few bookings leads but that was it. Most of the people around here want to buy it now, and I was ready. Anyway, was just wondering

I too had a last min. cancellation for this month. My daugther became sick so I didn't make it! I got 2 bookings from last month, (for the new year) so I am hoping they stick! But I was invited to do a cooking class demo this week also so I hope I can get some more bookings from it!

The BRU person & I had a mixup for this month. I emailed her in September, thanking her for letting me set up in Aug & Sept & that I'd be happy to do it again. She emailed back saying that Oct was full, but was I available in Nov? I wasn't (fundraiser that day), but told her I was free in Dec. She never got back with me. She did call in Oct wanting Decorator Bottles & I told her I'd call her when they came in. I called her Dec 1 & put the order on my open house. I asked her if I should bring them to BRU & she said to bring them when I come in for the baby fest. I didn't realize I was doing it & booked a show! I assumed when she never got back with me that it meant she was full! Of course, while she had her calendar open, I went ahead & booked for January!! It's a Super Baby Shower theme & she suggested I could bring ideas for making appetizers for the shower & table setting pieces! I'm looking forward to next month's! I'm also hoping with yucky Jan weather that many people will be out wanting to shop & hang around the store visiting the booths--I'll be looking for Jan & Feb bookings!

What exactly do you do at these BRU baby events? Do you set up a table and display product? Someone said that they have product ready to sell, does that do well? I am very interested in doing something like this!

I set up a table with some products--usually ones good for babies/toddlers. Next month the theme is baby shower, so I'm bringing products good for entertaining. You can't sell anything at the one I'm at, so I don't bring cash & carry.

I am hoping to be able to set up again for the Shower event? I have a good rapport with the coordinator so I hope she gives me a thumb up next month!
