Tips to help you have a successful Expo…

It’s as easy as 1 - 2- 3!

# 1 – Be engaged at your booth! Just sitting in a chair behind your table won’t get business contacts. 

#2 – Tell everyone you come in contact with to check out the Expo! If you invite people and all the other booths invite people…there will be a lot of people for everyone.

#3 – The more interesting and informative your display is the better! Make your booth eye-catching and somewhere that visitors just have to stop…you might even win a prize for it.

PERMITS & LICENSING

If you plan on selling at your booth or providing food samples, it is up to you to have the appropriate paperwork filled out and on file with the appropriate agency. 

-If you are selling and do not have a Branson Business License you will need to obtain a temporary one.

-Anything dealing with food (even free samples) will require a health permit from the Taney County Health Department.

ARE YOU OFFERING PRIZES?

We will offer a prize that attendees will be eligible to win once they visit the majority of the vendor booths.  It is also suggested that you do a drawing at your booth.  For any prizes being offered over the value of $250, contact Ladona Johnson and it will be worked into our advertising.
