I wanted to thank you for my best Corporate Fairs event ever!
As a fine artist selling unique, one-of-a-kind watercolors, I do not expect to make my booth fee. For me, sucess is measured in how many calls for custom paintings I get in the 1-2 months after a show.
However, the Spring Seasonings event also resulted in sales at the show! I made more than 3 times the booth fee, and that is BEFORE calls for commissions have come in.
Even more valuable: the young couple who won my raffle prize came to my table. They were delighted with the painting of the Green Mountains they had won, since they had grown up in Vermont. They immediately signed up on my mailing list for future shows, and are exactly the kind of enthusiastic patrons I am looking for.
Again, thank you very much for this great event!

On October 10, 2006 I was a vender at Mitre Corp in Bedford MA. This was the 2nd show I had done for Corporate Fairs. The first one being Staples. Staples was good. However this one was terrific for me.. I was very busy for most of the 3 hours . Employees did some Holiday shopping. My product seemed to fit the bill for many of them. One of the vendors next to me actually offered to help and put things in bags for me.
An extremely professional organization. I look froward to my next show with Corporate Fairs.

I want to thank you for the Hanover Insurance show. It worked great for me. My goal was to get my cards and information out to as many people as possible. I did not expect to make a lot of sales, since it takes time to build customers for fine art.
I was impressed with how easy you made the entire set-up and take down. And I enjoyed the other vendors very much, who were all willing to help each other out, whether it was giving change, or helping cover bathroom breaks.
I handed out over 100 business cards, and talked personally to at least 50 people each day. I also had sales, exceeding my table fee the first day, and covering half of it the second, making it a very low-cost marketing event.
But the most important thing is the follow-up calls, which have resulted in paying commissions for this month.
This is really exciting, and I look forward to the show in Newton next week.
Thank you so much,
Susan Champeny, Artist
I wanted to thank you for the opportunity to be a part of your business last week at Staples. I met a lot of nice people and vendors and had a lot of fun.

I do want to take this opportunity to thank you and Corporate Fairs for all the wonderful things that our relationship has brought to my business. Our group has met many wonderful contacts who have helped our business expand in areas more than we expected!!! The staff at Corporate Fairs have always been helpful and SO professional. It has been so nice to be so well received at ALL the shows we have participated in and we are looking forward to many more!
Have a Happy Holiday Season!

I cannot tell you how pleasantly surprised I was by the business leads I received in one, single fair - especially only 3 hours! During my first fair (Allmerica Financial), I passed out approximatly 200 order forms - none of which I had to ask if they wanted - they all asked me! I recieved requests/orders for: Photo candles as centerpieces and/or favors...2, 50th wedding anniversary party, 3 weddings, 1 Christening, 1, Birthday bash. As for my photo ornaments, I recieved many, many other requests for Christmas and yet another wedding favor.
Yesterday, I attended a fair that typically draws 10,000-12,000 people. However, due to the rain on Saturday, the fair was post-poned to yesterday. Whether it was the change in date, or other factor(s), I just didn't get even a fraction of the same result as going through Corporate Fairs. (I handed out maybe 40-50 order forms during the entire 6 1/2 hours!) I am aware that not all fairs are alike and each vendor, company and day is different, but with your method, I don't have to worry about rain-dates, or if people will show at the fair. I truley believe it's a much better way to do business for me!
Thank you again,

Just a note to say what a pleasure it was to do the Allmerica show today. From the helpful loading dock workers, to the great high traffic space, to the receptive and friendly employees, it was by far the best Corporate Fair I have done, and definitely the best environment both in layout and attendees. I'm so glad I took that second table, as I more than made up for it in sales and bookings. I hope we have more shows at that location before the holidays!

That's My Ticket is proud to be a Corporate Fairs vendor. We are always searching for ways to reach new customers and Corporate Fairs has delivered just that time and time again. In fact, Corporate Fairs generated more sales for us in three hours than one of the New England's largest sports memorabilia shows did in three days.

Nice to have been with you at the Citistreet Building yesterday. I played the CD I bought for my Grand daughter Ashley, and she got the biggest kick out of it. Now I need to order one for my other Grand daughter Sophia.
Thanks,

I'm sending people your way...we were very impressed with you and just how organized and thorough you are. Lloyd is a hard sell....and he was enthused with the concept. We've been selling our products since 1991 and are excited about this new venue. We have our presentation down pat after all these years and pretty much know our market but are always looking for a new way to get our unique items out there. Thank you for making this possible!

I've been meaning to tell you about this fabulous opportunity- I think you should look into for your businesses. Corporate Fairs is a great company that sets up Fairs at local companies with a minimum of 1000 employees....Staples, Sunlife, EMC, etc, etc. For a reasonable table fee (and the table is set up for you!), you get loads of traffic as employees come through on their lunch/coffee breaks. The company does a ton of marketing & advertising for you before the event. It is so cool...you should definitely check it out.
A great opportunity!!!

I did want to tell you how happy I was with the Sun life show. The whole way you set up the show is great and my results were better then I could have hoped.

Just a quick note to say thanks for adding That's My Ticket to the Staples event last week. As you know, we did very well and we were extremely pleased with the entire Corporate Fair experience (including meeting the other vendors). I look forward to working together again. Please consider us for any open slots you may have.

Today was my first two-day corporate fair with you, and I was very pleased with the response to my company and its products. I booked two home shows, took several orders for product, and also sold some of my pre-packaged gift bags. Several employees came by both days, and I expect some web sales in the future from employees who took flyers with them. I found that participating in the two day format worked well because those who came on the first day and placed orders could come back the second day and pick them up--which saved me packaging and shipping costs. I have signed up for three other two-day events with Corporate Fairs and hope that they are as well received.
