RE: Aromatherapy Booth Ideas??

[Guest guest]

. I had an aromatherapy booth at a health fair last fall. I think

the salts are a great idea, although it may be a bit overwhelming so maybe

you could have someone there to assist you. I also did some (alot) of free

hand and arm massages. People loved it. I also had a draw for a free

massage so people filled out forms so I got addresses and email addresses so

that worked out well. I had a display of the ess. oils as well as

brochures and business cards. I also had a candle burning but at the back

of the table so no little hands could touch. It may also be good to have a

chart which lists what oils are good for what condition. I found people

thought this was interesting. Hope this helps. S.

Hi, ! Congratulations on the opportunity to spread the word about AT.

Do you know what age group the fair will be geared to? That's important when

it comes to dealing with attendees and their preconceived notions about AT.

I find seniors are more closed minded than younger people, but, then, that

is my observation.

I suggest using a diffuser with an EO that will clear the air and attract

attention because of its scent, if that is okay with the fair organnizers.

Can you hand out a product brochure/catalog with your business card? And

include diffusers in your sales brochure so people can order the same

diffuser you are demonstrating.

How about a special discount card that expires in 2 weeks (or whatever

timeframe you choose) towards either a specific item or any order placed.

Maybe make a label to apply to the back of your business card.

You may consider offering a workshop at a later time/date that attendees can

register to attend.

And don't forget a " Free Drawing " for a small basket of products or maybe a

diffuser or whatever you think would generate interest. This will generate a

mailing list for you.

You may want to put the EO's into the bath salts yourself because you are

the one who will know how much to use (you don't want a heavy handed

customer pouring away your $). Or make the salts in advance in only a few

distinct scents and they can choose.

Also, choose to wear colors and an outfit that will attract people to your

booth. And also have some AT books available for attendees to see (and maybe

include in your product info), so they know you are representing a

legitimate science.

Remember,you have less than 8 seconds to catch the attention of a passer-by.

Have an eye-appealing table/display and don't let anyone walk past you

without handing them something that they can look at later if they don't

stop immediately.

Boy, did you exercise my brain with this one! I've been in many types of

fairs/events and you really got me to reminisce.

Good luck,

Madeline

Hi, Everyone ~~

I have been asked to do a booth on Aromatherapy at a local health fair. As

this is a non-profit event, I will be unable to have anything on display for

,

At a health fair I would like to receive a handout telling me what eo's are,

what they have been used for historically, how they are made and which ones

are best for what.

I would much rather have something like that, than I would the little bath

salts. And that will be pretty expensive for you.

You could type up, fancy up the paper on your printer or something, some or

all of the above, with the top of it your business card, or that type of

info.

Then, lol, being me, I would add a magnet to the back of it. I think

s' carries strips of magnets you cut it off and take off the back

tape and stick it on. This way they can stick it on their fridge and always

have your name AND all your wonderful info in front of them.

marketing idea, Janine:^)
