Description
All over the country small towns and big cities are making new adjustments to manage through what, hopefully, will be the final round of this 2020 lifestyle. The vaccine is on the way and I think we have every reason to be optimistic about a freer future.
But addressing the here and now … what do you do for the holidays? You’ve already been making product in preparation for the shows. Or maybe you have an alternate plan in place yet still feel like you need to be doing more to drive sales this season – but what?!?
Announcing The At Home Holiday Craft & Gift Show
I’ve partnered with Holli and Robert from At Home Events to present the https://eventhub.net/events/2020-At-Home-Craft-Show-VIRTUAL-EVENT_2090 (At Home Holiday Craft and Gift Show) on December 6th.
Boost Holiday Sales
This is your golden ticket to holiday sales. And perhaps for you, a replacement for recently canceled in-person shows. It’s your answer to selling all the holiday-themed products you’ve already made.
Plus, even if you hadn't planned any holiday shows this year, here’s your chance to do something similar without having to guess how much product to bring, worry about whether it sells, or deal with all the setup and teardown of a physical show
All that – plus the opportunity to get into a national show with an experienced and professional team that has virtual event planning figured out.
Visibility & List Building Opportunities
Almost everything is done for you already. And visibility opportunities are baked right into the program.
Not to mention the email list building potential. This is everything we always talk about to put on a successful show.
Customers Are Already Signing Up
Guess what? The Facebook Ads driving attendees to the show have already started.
Yep - customers who will show up to your booth, see your products, and are specifically looking for holiday gifts are already signing up to participate, as we speak.
Show Details
When you purchase a booth at the At Home Craft and Gift Show, you’ll be participating in a nationwide marketplace.
Your Custom Booth Page
You’ll get your very own Booth Page customized with your:
branded header
logo
product photos
videos
social media
and website links
Customers will be able to buy right from that page where product orders go through to your current shopping cart system. So no extra payment setups are required.
Real-Time Interaction With Customers
What makes this show stand out from others is the online video conference and text chat features where you can interact in real-time with attendees.
They can visit your virtual booth, read about your company, and buy your products by themselves.
But they can also request to talk with you either face-to-face or audio/text only to ask questions, give you details on a custom order they want to place, or just to say “hi.”
At-Home Shopping For You & Your Customers
All of this is done from the comfort of home. Your customers can shop on a Sunday afternoon from their couch, kitchen table, or wherever.
Normally, they might have been out at a local craft show or church bazaar buying gifts and stocking stuffers right now … but they can’t this year. This is even better!
I see virtual shows like these continuing to be part of the mix moving forward. People are now so comfortable with Zoom, it’s just like picking up the phone. That means virtual shows, which may have been more challenging this time last year, are now accepted and welcomed.
Setup & Sales Support
This all sounds great I know – and there’s more!
The At Home folks have two live trainings with backup recordings to help you. You can access them live where you can also ask questions or by recorded replay if you need them.
Training 1: Setup Your Online Booth
One covers how to set up your online booth. I’ve seen the interface and most can put it together in an hour or two. But if you’re concerned or think you’re...
