Shows & Fairs Information

Shows & Fais Home

Mission

To increase Simplexity's visibility, sales and enrollments to a vastly wider audience by encouraging all distributors to set up booths at Shows, Fairs and other similar venues.

Goal

To create and collate information pertaining to setting up and maintaining booths by serving as a 'Clearing House' for the advice and experiences of those who have gone before.

Possible Venues

Marathons or other runs, Farmer’s Markets, Children’s Fairs, College Campus Fairs, Expos, Trucker’s Jamboree, Craft Fairs, School Fairs, Earth Fairs, Flea Markets, Pet Shows, Plant & Garden Shows, Body & Soul Expos . . .

How to find venues in your area

  • Call or email your local Chamber of Commerce for their calendar of events.
  • Call the Convention Center in your area for a listing of events being held there.
  • Call or email your local Tourist Information Center for their calendar.
  • Most TV/radio stations have a community bulletin board (and be sure to inform them if you're putting up a booth somewhere).
  • Check internet site www.exhibitornet.com for a few listings.

The next step is to choose the events you are interested and then call them for details on registration, cost, availability, time frame, appropriateness, etc.

Set-up

  • Try to get a corner booth - set up tables in an L-shape if you can, but no matter what size or  location your booth is, be sure to stand in front of it.
  • Have comfortable chairs for folks to relax in for a minute. (Not you!) This gives you a chance to engage them in conversation.
  • Colorful banner (made from felt or other?…) (Ask your upline or other distributors in your area if they have a Simplexity Banner you can borrow). See banner section below for where to purchase banners.
  • Tablecloth with your business name on it (also made of felt or other?…maybe green cloth with a lace cover.
  • Display several (empty) bottles of products, key chain Algae carrier with capsules and/or tablets in it so people can see how it’s consumed. The empty bottles can be glued or taped together to make a colorful display.
  • If the spot is big enough, set up a small TV and play tapes with sound down (Suggestions: Dan O’Brien, Intro Pack video, Inside/Out video, Earth’s First Food or Super Blue Green Planet)
  • Dress up the space with a potted plant or flowers (Chance to talk about the Planet Food® )
  • Put up a display with photos & articles of kids, animals & other healthy things (Animal photos provide a lead-in for the Animal Food.)

Extras

  • SBGTV tape #4013 is a visual way to pick up some good stuff about the value of booths.
  • Put out Nicaraguan bracelets with a small display about "The Nicaraguan Report" and Simplexity
  • Solution Projects. Helps to focus on the vision.
  • Give out excess tapes & literature you have - (DO remember your name & phone on them, too).
  • Display some good literature even if you can’t give it away - for example, the New Leaf with Dan O’Brien on the cover, Algae for All, Network of Hope’s Children’s or Physician’s issues, Optimal Health Report, Dr. Taylor’s article about algae & ADD/ADHD.
  • Focus on the Holiday Gift Specials during the holidays. These will be coming out with gift wrapping this year.
