 The following suggestions can help participants to make best use of this opportunity and derive maximum benefit from this event. 
 
 1) For participation: Those who don't make products can sell products printed with their name e.g. caps, t-shirts

2) For product sales: Availability of a pricelist handout with terms could be useful for those who want to buy in future or in bulk

 3) For awareness: Brochures and a photo album of activities to browse there itself could have a greater impact

4) Conduct a survey to educate visitors: Surveys can turn out to be more meaningful if it educates people about any particular social or civic issue

5) Interact with visitors: There should be at least one person whose sole job would be to engage the visitor into a con versation about the organization

6) Get people involved: It seems a good opportunity to also convey volunteering requests and material requests

7)  NGO beneficiaries to interact with visitors: Wh ere possible, each NGO should also have a beneficiary at the stall so that visitors can realise the value of their support
