Maximize Your Experience

We'd like to offer some additional tips that might help our vendors maximize their experience at our expo:

1. 20-minute sample sessions: Consider offering shorter, 20-minute readings priced at $20 to $25 each. This approach allows you to serve more clients during the event.
   
2. Sign -Up Sheet: Implement a sign-up sheet at your booth where visitors can reserve their preferred time slot. This can help manage your time efficiently and potentially reduce wait times.
   
3. Promote: Use this opportunity to network and promote your services. Offer visitors the option to schedule more in-depth readings with you at a later date. This can help you build a client base beyond the expo.
   
4. Advertise: Remember that many vendors participate in our expo primarily for advertising purposes. The connections you make and the exposure you receive can lead to long-term business opportunities.
   
5. Prepare an eye-catching display: Create a visually appealing booth that reflects your brand and services. Use colors, textures, and props that attract attention and make your space inviting.
   
6. Offer a show special: Consider providing a discounted rate or a special package for bookings made during the expo. This can incentivize visitors to commit to future sessions.
7. Bring business cards and flyers: Have plenty of promotional materials on hand. Include your contact information, services offered, and perhaps a special offer for first-time clients.
8. Consider a raffle or giveaway: Collect contact information from interested visitors by offering a free reading or related item as a prize. This helps build your mailing list for future marketing.
   
9. Engage passersby: Develop a brief, friendly pitch to quickly explain your services to those walking by. Practice makes perfect!
10. Showcase testimonials: If you have positive feedback from previous clients, display these prominently. They can help build trust with potential new clients.
11. Offer mini-demonstrations: If possible, provide very brief (2-3 minute) demonstrations to attract interest and showcase your skills.
12. Network with other vendors: Building relationships with fellow vendors can lead to future collaborations or referrals.
13. Use social media: Post about your participation in the expo on your social media channels before, during, and after the event. This can help drive traffic to your booth and maintain connections afterward.
14. Follow up promptly: After the expo, reach out to the contacts you've made within a week while the interaction is still fresh in their minds.

Remember, expos are excellent opportunities for exposure and networking.
Even if you don't make immediate sales, the connections you form can lead to long-term business growth.
