Hand out free stuff
Everyone likes freebies; and handing out promotional items at your local fair is a great way to increase your brand popularity among the attendees. Choose items that your recipients will find useful and interesting. Custom keychains, car magnets, chip clips, pens or hand fans are some of the many cost effective handouts that can be considered.

By sponsoring this event you can enhance the brand visibility substantially as your brand will be displayed on promotional posters, fliers, TV and even on stage!

Let customers join your mailing list
People walking around the fairgrounds won’t be in a mood to write down their details and information. Instead your team can have a few tablets handy and ask if they can take their info for your mailing list in return for some gifts to encourage the consumers to join the email list. Fairs will give you the added advantage of a diverse audience across all age groups and demographics, which in turn will ensure a rich mailing list for your campaigns.
Follow up
Once the fair has ended, make sure to send thank you emails to all the prospects and tell them about your products and services. It will impress your recipients and may encourage them to become your loyal customers in the days ahead.
