Les Belles Poupees
formerly The East Texas Doll Show

June 27^th and 28^th 2008
Grapevine, Texas


I want to welcome each of you and thank you for
participating in our 2008 show!

Our advertising is in place and the internet is already buzzing with information!! We anticipate a wonderful crowd this year to shop with you.

We have included in your dealer’s packet a cd with printable fliers that you may personalize for your customers.  We ask that you distribute these at the shows you are attending. Many shows are more than willing to distribute fliers at the door, but we believe that a personal invitation to the show in the form of the flier handed to your customer at your booth will be a more impressive. This will keep your customers aware of where they can find you to shop, encouraging return customers and of course it will help spread the word about the show. Again, as always, information about the show through advertising, thus encouraging attendance, is the way to good sales for you in the showroom.


In a time when the internet is a huge part of our lives as retailers, we have found that many of the show attendees often check our website for current information about the show. In an effort to keep your internet customer aware of your attendance at Les Belles Poupees Doll Show we have regular scheduled announcements that will be posted to the doll chat groups, Blue boards and Show Time bulletin boards on the web. Regular updates to the website and additional tidbits about he show are also scheduled.  We are finding that vendors that notify their customers of their show schedules are the most successful and in an effort to help with that information we are making our site once again the most informative on the web!

In an effort to make the Les Belles Poupees Show better than ever we are reminding you that our theme is French honoring the beautiful Antique French Bebe’s .  Once again we ask you to participate by decorating your booth. We have traveled to many shows this year and we see customers staying longer and making purchases in booths that are attractively decorated. It is mandatory that each table have floor length cloths.

We will again be publishing a show program in 2008. Advertising space is available:

¼ page $25.00  *  ½ page $50.00   *  full page $75.00  * inside cover/ back page $100.00

Ok, that’s a lot of “stuff” but we are really working this year to make Grapevine and the Les Belles Poupees  THE place to be! Our new location is already drawing many back to the show as is the convenience of a hotel that lends itself to all of our needs.

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you this year.

Thank you !

Karen
