I have a trade show that is targeting women only coming up in a couple of weeks. I've never done one of these before. Can anyone give me ideas on how I can help make it successful? Any ideas no matter howsmall would be helpful and greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I just did one yesterday and it went well. It was nurses only.
if you PM me with your email addy, I can send you the forms and documents I used
IN general, the big 'hit' of our booth was that we were sampling the salt scrub. That got a lot more traffic to our table. I had amedium plastic sterlite tub and some pitchers (had to keep running to the restroom to refill, but that was no biggie)
I also had a raffle of a tin of tea and three mini aromatherapy lotions in a plastic drawstring arbonne bag tied with a ribbon. It was cute.
I had another person with me in the booth, we took turns talking, sampling, offering the raffle, etc. I also walked around a little, to groups of women asking if they'd ever heard of Arbonne (I had my sparkly black arbonne shirt on) and most said NO, and I gave them a before and after brochure with a sample of the body duo in it and asked them to stop by and try the salt scrub. I wasbashful at first until I saw the positive response and just kept at it!
we got about 70 names in the raffle, and now i need to FOLLOW UP!!!
Anyway, good luck.
