Newbie Vendor Needs Advice: Christmas Bazaar Booking Tree

In summary, Shari from TX is doing a catalog show for her sister next week and is not booked for any cooking shows yet. She has a beautiful tree that she used last year at an open house and anyone who placed an order of $25 or more got to choose an ornament (paper ornaments) off the tree.

Hello everyone, I am brand spanking new to PC and I have my first vendor show tomorrow. Very last minute, I was just asked to do it yesterday! I haven't had my first party yet, but that'll be Saturday. The event is a Christmas Bazaar so I thought I would try to attract guests to my table somehow. I came up with a booking tree. I haven't seen anything about this being done before, but if it has, I give credit to them :). It's like the booking beads, only the gifts are hanging on the tree. They will only get there gift once they actually hold their party. Please give me your honest opinions as I'm not sure if this would be seen as tacky or not. Thanks!! DSCN2909.jpg
 
that's adorable!
 
I have my first vendor fair on sunday, no cooking shows booked yet but one catalog show. :)
 
What a beautiful tree. I have done somethiing similar, last year. I had a Christmas open house. You tree is much more elegant than mine. LOL Mine was a glittery cardboard cut out.

What I did was anyoe who placed an order of $25 or more at the open house got to choose an ornament (paper ornaments) off the tree. They said things like free shipping, free spice, free paring knife or free season's best.

Oh I love that idea too!!!
 
It looks beautiful! And it will definitely attract attention and get people to visit your table. Thank you for sharing your great idea. Remember that one of the big things you get at vendor fairs is contacts. Not everyone comes to place an order or book a show on the spot, but if you get their contact information, they might later. I did a vendor fair for a middle school recently and whenever someone said how much they love Pampered Chef, I asked them if they have a consultant they order from regularly. A couple said yes, but most said no. Theirs didn't sell anymore or moved away or they never had one. That's when I told them that I'd be happy to be their consultant and send them a monthly newsletter so they could keep up with anything new from PC. Almost all of them gave me their contact info for that. I always promise them that I don't bombard them with emails -- just a monthly newsletter and an occasional special email (less than one a month).You probably already knew all that, but I thought I'd share in case you didn't. I wish you the best of luck with the fair.Shari in TX
 
I concur with Shari - my last vendor event did not garner but a few hundred dollars in sales. The best part was that I met some great women who I have added as contacts and they have shared my name with their friends.
 
What a great idea! I just got my new consultant kit tonight and am doing a catalog show for my sister next week. I haven't booked any cooking shows but this would be a great idea that you could change with each holiday! Thanks for sharing!!
