Why do a booth?
Fresh Leads for Parties
Extra Sales – Recruits
To Get into a New Area
Practice/Learn – Training
Hands-On Advertising
To Project Stability
To Make Money!!
Booths are a great way to find new customers/hostesses/recruits.
They are not always money makers but the real reason to do a booth if for those new leads.
I personally LOVE booths and all the new people I get to meet.
Here are some of the policies and helpful information that home office provided.
**PLEASE read through it and make sure you are following the rules.**
Before I post more helpful information, here is a quick video explaining more about booths and where you can find them, what to do when you do find one, what to take, and how to book.
Just a few places to find booths are...
News websites
City websites
Event center websites
Facebook vendor pages
Friends from other direct selling business
Newspaper (search events coming up)
Ads (often they will say vendors wanted)
When you've found a booth, ask yourself these questions...
If I spent the same time calling leads/asking for referrals… Would I sell/recruit more than at this booth or book fair?
Would I be okay if I didn’t make the booth fee back?
Is it in an area I am willing to travel to and do parties/follow up?
Am I going to honestly follow up on the leads I get?
How do I get books for my booth?
Build up inventory by doing your own parties
Borrow books from consultant/leader near you
Consignment (you will need to be out of your incentive period)
**DISCLAIMER**
If you DO get consignment you will either need to do other events, have a flash sale OR pay to have it shipped back if you don't sell it all at your event.
If you DO get consignment you will either need to do other events, have a flash sale OR pay to have it shipped back if you don't sell it all at your event.
What should I take with me?

This audio training is a MUST if you want to book at your booth!
Listen to it every time you do a booth!

Most importantly...
