Ummm... Not Sure if I Should Ask or Just Do! Lol

I JUST NOW got a booth for a BRU event on Saturday. Unfortunately, the event is during a show I already have scheduled.

Sooo.... how bad would it be for my husband to man the booth? He would pass out business cards and info and demo a couple of products (but no actual food to give out or anything)....

would that be bad??

Why would that be bad? I had someone ask me to do a booth last year and I already had a show booked. The organizer said, "That's ok, I'm sure my (adult) daughter could handle it." I only got 1 order out of the fair and no shows, but the daughter just signed up as my first recruit - almost a year later.

If your husband is willing I would go for it!! I dont even do demo's at my booths, just talk to people and book shows.

Do you try to sell stuff too or just try to get bookings?

 

[Yakmama]

Just try to get bookings. I'm so new that I don't really have any excess stuff I can sell.

 

[vwpamperedchef]

I brought excess stuff last year, it didn't work out well, and people wanted things cheap. This year I will only go to book shows and sell from book.

I would ask him to do the normal suggestions (most of the time) Stand out front .. don't sit.. etc.

If your husband is willing to do that - great! And good for him for jumping in. Mine is behind me but don't think he would ever man a booth for me.
