How to Market Effectively at Fairs? April 17 Rountable Topic

Moms Inc. has signed up for a table at Celebrate Mama in Rockville (11 - 4 on April 27), so all members are welcomed to bring in flyers and business cards for display.  Meanwhile, if you have marketed your service at a fair, you know there is MUCH behind just showing up to make it a success.

Linda Quinones is an independent Director with the Pampered Chef. She has been with the Pampered Chef for 18 years and has trained over 100 new consultants to start their own Pampered Chef businesses. She attracts new customers through vendor events. She will share her expertise on selecting a vendor event, and how to make the most of the event, before, during and after. 

Kathy Kitts is the Founder & CEO for NeuGrowth - Center for Brain-Training.  She will bring
a different angle to this topic: why get a vendor table at an event at all? And how to make your money back even before the event happens.

For the past 24 years, Kathy has been involved in creating brain stimulation programs for babies and kids. She has also created classes and summer camps for kids in places like The Smithsonian Associates, Maryland Science Center, and The Levine School of Music. She enjoys speaking to groups about her experiences. She started applying the programs with her own two kids, now 24 and 19, who benefitted enormously. Her latest offering is an after-school program called GlobalKids! where kids “visit” countries around the globe, trying on traditional clothes, sampling food, learning songs or dances, and doing some art projects while practicing a few words in the language of that country. Ms. Kitts also offers seminars and workshops to corporations and nonprofits.

Additionally, Kathy has a new radio program called, "The Resilient Brain,” which airs Saturdays at noon on Perfect World Network Radio. You can listen in by going to www.PWNradio.net/search/KathyKitts. That has been a lot of fun! Ms. Kitts is currently learning about TV production and plans to one day create a television show for parents of babies and preschoolers.

 Ms. Kitts earned a degree in Behavioral and Social Sciences and Microbiology from University of Maryland. She learned about the brain and very early learning at The Institutes for the Achievement of Human Potential, in Philadelphia, PA. In addition to her two sons and husband, she has a Jack Russell Terrier named Skippy, and 3 cats.

She hopes to continue spreading the word about the incredible opportunities we have to help our kids, and the incredible potential all babies have!
