Booth Ideas for a Fair
Sell your product, provide entertainment or educate your community with a booth at a fair. Fairs come in a range of styles, from county fairs that celebrate a community to health fairs that promote health and wellness. The style of fair you attend dictates the type of booth you set up, and the possibilities are endless. Attract people to your booth with compelling design and products or offers that will entice them to stop by.

Food Booths
-
No matter the type of fair you attend, you can use a food booth to sell your product and satisfy the palates of fair attendees. Make sure that the food you offer aligns with the type of fair you're attending. For example, at a health fair, you can sell homemade granola bars or trail mix to promote a healthy diet. At a community fair, you can feature any dish you're famous for, whether it's your homemade brownies or chicken noodle soup. In addition to selling the product, offer samples at your booth. If fair attendees enjoy your treat, they just might buy it to bring home.
Product Booths
-
Sell handmade products that match the theme of the fair. An art fair opens the door to a variety of creative crafts, from handmade jewelry to pottery, watercolors, charcoal drawings and glass-blown pieces. Selling products at a fair is an effective way to increase your customer base. You can attract new customers, and if they are pleased with your product, they might purchase more products from you in the future. Include business cards or brochures so that these new customers can get in touch with you in the future.

Activity Booths
-
Activity booths focus on providing entertainment for fair attendees. If you expect children at your fair, cater to their interests by offering activities like face painting or arts and crafts. Round up small zoo animals to create a mini petting zoo, or create balloon animals for kids to take home. If you're selling a product, you can set up stations where fair attendees can try out the product. The more hands-on your booth is, the more likely people will be willing to purchase your product.
Information Booths
-
Information booths work well for education fairs, health fairs and career fairs. Here, the focus of your booth is to provide fair attendees with knowledge. If your community hospital is hosting a health fair, set up a booth with fliers or pamphlets that explain the importance of mammograms. At a career fair, give information about your company, including the number of employees, benefits offered and positions you're hiring. Sell your college or university to high school students by giving out brochures with photos of your campus as well as a list of academic programs and extracurricular activities.
