Mialisia Ideas for inventory, trade shows, etc

Ideas for trade shows, inventory, etc

Purchase or rent a raffle wheel. Sure you may give away $100-$200 in giveaways but look at picture #2 which shows literally women waiting in line 30+ min and backed up around the corner just for a handful of gum/candy. Imagine doing this for 4 days and requiring each person before they spin the wheel to sign up for your monthly newsletters. We have lists 1000+ from just this simple idea. One show we actually went to local businesses and franchises and got them to donate coupons and things...free hamburger, free ice cream cone, buy one get one free, etc. Many corporations have a marketing budget for donations and would love the opportunity to have someone hand out their coupons and indirectly get free advertising. Win-win-win

 The line for this raffle was 30 min. of a wait and I counted at one time over 48 women standing in line (after walking an entire huge convention hall)

 Here was one of our 10x10 booths and how we displayed and hung the jewelry. Then we had inventory of our best selling items in plastic totes with lids and labels.

 Here is what we stored our charms and such with the former Jewelry company. 

Here were the plastic totes and labels we brought to the trade shows

Here is just a small sample of the beads that we used to make the jewelry of our former company. This represents about 1/20th of what we have. Anyone wanna buy beads? Find a wholesale bead buyer to buy it all and I will give 20% commission to you :) This represents probably $50K retail of beads that I am selling for $20K since we are not hand-making the jewelry anymore and I want to get ride of the inventory. 

Just a sample of jewelry inventory. We built a simple wood structure from 2x4s and then used hooks that slide in between the slats and it held an enormous amount of necklace inventory. We also had similar (bit smaller) displays on wheels that could be easily transported.  

More ways we stored the jewelry inventory. Note we are unpacking so our floor is normally seen and not an obstacle course. Now our family room with 6 kids is another story as far as organizing and ability to see the floor at any given time. 

I love Mialisia. Here is an older picture of our growing team of 200+ designers along with their pics and city and state they reside in.
