Should Vendors Collect Additional Information at a Bridal Fair?

[Christa]

I have a table in January. The info says that they do not want vendors asking for info from the brides, that a list of the brides' addresses and phone #'s will be given to all vendors as part of the deal. So, would you still do guest slips with a drawing, to get info of people attending who are not brides? I have to give 2 small door prizes, so I am doing just-with-me gift certificates and the Season's Best Cookbook. The drawing would be a 3rd giveaway item or gc.
Thanks!

I also have a table for a bridal fair this month. I am still going to have people fill out the slips and enter them for a gift basket giveaway. This way we have a more detailed description of their interests. They might even check off that they are interested in becoming a consultant! Best of Luck!

As an pampered chef consultant, I would suggest that you follow the guidelines set by the table in January. If they do not want vendors asking for information from the brides, then it would be best to respect their wishes and not do the guest slips with a drawing. Instead, you could offer the gift certificates and cookbook as door prizes and perhaps come up with another creative way to engage potential customers without violating the vendor guidelines. It's important to respect the rules and boundaries set by the event organizers.
