Setting Up Display Tables at Shows: Pros & Cons

[Swirl]

Does anybody set up a display table at your shows? That's what I've been doing and it is getting to just be to much. I really like the idea of people being able to get their hands on the products but gosh am I wearing myself out carring all that stuff around. Just interested in what everybody is taking to the shows and how do you decide what not to take?

I did that in the beginning and like you said, it got to be too much. I also didn't like the fact that I was cluttering up my hosts house after she just got it all clean for the party. Now I just display things on her table and coffee table. I also do not take a whole lot more to my shows other than what I will be using. I found that people really were not looking at it, they just want to look through the catalog and look at what I used that night.

It flopped but willing to try againI did it at a show once, and it was a lot of packing and carrying. I set up a table to look like a dinner table. Displayed the placemats and the SA. I didn't get any sales off of any of it, so I didn't do it again. Have kind of thought about it again for the Help Whip Cancer. It wouldn't take much since there aren't a lot of products. I thought I would get a pink tablecloth when all the Easter stuff comes out at the store.

That's a good idea Jennifer, displaying the HWC products. I don't believe I will be carrying all that stuff to anymore shows. What was I thinking? And our catalog is so good it really is all you need. Thanks for your input.

I suggestyou pack what you need and your top ten or a few extras and that's it. I have big shows 9/10 and that is all I take.
