Ask for it
A request for an application for renting a
Booth Space is the first step.
Complete the application and return with a check. If they cash
the check, you are probably in. You will have to call in most
occasions to verify acceptance.
Requesting a Booth Application
If you are looking to rent a
booth space in a local event, you will want to keep some of the following in mind. Not everything mentioned needs to be said during every conversation. If you are serious about reaching your community, you will be making a lot of calls and experience will be your best teacher.
Read over the following and understand how this information may help ease tensions when objections and rejections begin to surface.
Do not assume the committees involved are against your church, unless your church has been a nuisance to the community.
Our experience has been that we see very few people against what we are doing. Some events are very glad for us to be present and even give us the best places. Some even at no cost.
Do not ask for a free space. No one likes a moocher.
Do not fuss at the committee workers.
Do not sell products or services from your
booth space.
Online
Many events are putting their applications some where on their Web Site,
to be downloaded. This is helpful up front, but may work against you
when sent in, because you cannot answer some of their questions and may be
turned down without a hearing.
We are often asked, "What do you sell?"
"We do not sell anything, everything we have is free. We simply distribute Gospel literature at no cost. We also usually work in conjunction with a local Baptist Church." (if you are not working in your own community)
We do not mention witnessing, soul winning, evangelism or any other like term.
