Diet products at Wedding Fairs...

Well done on your weight loss - fanstastic!

Now, cynical me says that brides might be a perfect group to sell to, although I'd think it quite a weird thing to see at a wedding fair.

But scientist me doubts that your "natural supplement" is in any way effective, so I wouldn't be buying it.

I'd be surprised if an organiser let you go there with a diet supplement. The ones I went to try to promote that every bride is different.

Might be worth emailing a few to see what their reaction is?

I've spoken to a couple of organisers who think that it'd be a great idea but would obviously have to wait for brides to approach the table rather than approach people. I know what i'd have done if someone approached me at a fair a few years back; punched them on the nose! Hahahaha... Even tho i could've benefitted from it; iykwim!!! I was wondering if people would be too scared to approach a table that was about weight loss; that is my major worry about exhibiting. Most of my clients are friends who have seen my transformation (and now obviously THEIR friends who have seen theirs! We all see adverts on tv, etc but it's different when it's someone you know hey

Yeah; I was cycnical 46lb ago too Took me 3 months of researching the ingredients and umming and ahhing before I started myself...

Thanks

I'd be interested in it even as a non bride lol, I think yeah as long as you're not pushy and accidentally ask the pregnant-not-fat woman I think brides would be interested. Most of the people I know trying to diet really don't need it, and I haven't yet known a bride who wasn't trying to diet at least a little bit, so I definitely think there's a market there for you if the fair organisers are cool with it!

I've seen teeth whitening. ?

I've seen teeth whitening, free body fat checks, "ladies only" gyms, so I think you should be fine finding somewhere to exhibit.

As a B2B though, i'm such a mega sceptic that i'd probably not try it if the first time I came across it was at a fair. I'd want to go home and do my research first (at the very least) So that's one issue I can potentially see. As others have said, you'll also have to tread carefully and be sure to let people come to you rather than you going to them for fear of causing offence!

You could always try goody bag advertising to test the water? We pay £10 per 100 flyers for local fairs and our leaflets go into goody bags. Always a much better return than actually exhibiting in our experience.

I've seen Forever Living stands at a few wedding fairs - not sure how well they do. If you think you could make enough to justify the cost of the stand its worth a go!

I saw Slimming World had a stand at a wedding fayre I went to so think it would be a good market for you. I was wondering whether they were going to 'approach' me but I made a hasty exit before they could....

That's great then Vicki, go for it!
