Hi Guys and Gals

I have a few questions and would love some answers.  You can either cut and paste the questions and then answer them on here or via pm if you prefer to.

This is a bit of research and I will be considering all this prior to organising an event soon.  So that we a.  get a good mix of companies and b. get good attendance.

1.  Would you prefer to attend an 'expo' 'fair' etc, during the day/at evening ? For how long?

2.  What would you consider a reasonable fare to pay for your stall ?

3.  Would you expect to have a table/chairs provided, or bring your own ?

4.  Would you prefer to hand out your own samples/pamphlets/sample bags or contribute your products to the organiser to make up sample bags for the whole show ?

5.  Would you prefer the event to be adults only or kids welcome ?

6.  If you were asked to donate a gift for the lucky door etc, to what value would you consider appropriate?

7.  Are you happy for other similar companies to attend:  eg:  AVON/Mary Kay/NutriMetics ??

8.  Are you happy for more than one consultant/representative from a company to attend ?  eg:  3 UCW consultants ? 

OK  Thanks in advance guys.

I have no preference but maybe evenings or wkends during day would work better For How long? maybe 3 or 4hrs

2.  What would you consider a reasonable fare to pay for your stall ? 30-40

3.  Would you expect to have a table/chairs provided, or bring your own ? Expect to bring my own

4.  Would you prefer to hand out your own samples/pamphlets/sample bags or contribute your products to the organiser to make up sample bags for the whole show ? Hand out my own

5.  Would you prefer the event to be adults only or kids welcome ? Both are fine!!

6.  If you were asked to donate a gift for the lucky door etc, to what value would you consider appropriate? $20

7.  Are you happy for other similar companies to attend:  eg:  AVON/Mary Kay/NutriMetics ?? Yes

8.  Are you happy for more than one consultant/representative from a company to attend ?  eg:  3 UCW consultants ? No i don't think this is fair on either on the 3 consultants

Day and would probably end up spending 2 or 3 hours there looking easy.

2.  What would you consider a reasonable fare to pay for your stall ?

Depends on alot of factors.  I pay upto $1500 for big fairs, but I sell $2000 plus in stock and then the business it generates afterwards is good :)   But a smaller event, upto $65ish.

3.  Would you expect to have a table/chairs provided, or bring your own ?

I bring my own.

4.  Would you prefer to hand out your own samples/pamphlets/sample bags or contribute your products to the organiser to make up sample bags for the whole show ?

Hand out own.  Dont like sample bags, a sample flyer/booklet would be better.

5.  Would you prefer the event to be adults only or kids welcome ?

Kids welcome, I dont go with my kids but the mum in me finds it offensive to say kids aint welcome.

6.  If you were asked to donate a gift for the lucky door etc, to what value would you consider appropriate?

$20 to $50.  Again depends on the venue, organizers ect.

7.  Are you happy for other similar companies to attend:  eg:  AVON/Mary Kay/NutriMetics ??

Yes, everyone has different things to add in their own way.

8.  Are you happy for more than one consultant/representative from a company to attend ?  eg:  3 UCW consultants ? 

No, wouldnt be good for straight party plan companies, they cant divert much off their "plan" while companies like mine, we all run things differently so it wouldnt matter as much.  But NO.
