Hello, Just wanted to know if any working personal chefs have ever set up a booth at a local convention or expo and how did that work for you? Did you give out samples? What worked what would you have changed or just thoughts in general. Thanks
Hello, Diedrajm If you just enter "booths" in a search, quite a few threads pop up. I'm pretty new to the PC arena and live in a remote area, so I haven't taken part in an expo, but it looks as if many of the seasoned PCs have. Good luck.
Hi Diedrajm, I'm working a home and garden show this Sunday with another Personal Chef - we're going to be cooking on stage for an hour doing mini Beef Kabobs and passing them out (along with our cards/brochures) to the folks in the audience. I will let you know how it turns out.
I'm attending the Chicagoland Women's Expo in Arlington Hgts. this weekend to see if it might be worthwhile for the Chicago Chapter to exhibit there next year.
In my previous life, I was a corporate marketing person who spent 14 years as an exhibit manager. The number one rule I follow is: Don't spend the money on exhibiting unless you've attended the show first.

Thanks for the replies and Karen thank you for the advice. Kristin let me know how the show works out for you. I have tried a few things but haven't found a marketing strategy that works for me yet.
