Title: 5 Tribe Housing Conference Pop Up Shop
Description: We are inviting tribal pop-up shop and artist vendors to attend the 5 Tribe Housing Conference at the Clearwater River Casino from on September 25, 2023 (tentative) Steps: Contact Tribal Small Businesses: Reach out to tribal businesses to let them know about the event. They may be able to spread the word to their members and help you find vendors.
Use Social Media: Utilize social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram to promote the event and encourage vendors to participate. Create a dedicated hashtag for the event to make it easier for vendors to find and engage with your posts.
Create a Vendor Application: Create a vendor application that outlines the details of the event, such as the dates, location, and fees, and provide instructions on how vendors can apply to participate. You can distribute this application through email, social media, or through tribal organizations.
Ensure tables/chairs and space is reserved for the vendors
Measurement: When communicating with vendors prior to the event, I will include a request for an end of show sales receipt as part of the vendor requirements or guidelines. I will explain this information will be used to track sales and analyze the success of the event.
On the day of the event, I will remind vendors to provide an end of show sales receipt and provide them with a clear deadline for submitting the receipts. When I receive the numbers, I will compile the data into a spreadsheet to analyze the sales data. This will allow me to identify trends, popular items, and areas for improvement for future events.

Title: Crafting Your Elevator Pitch: How to Sell Your Business in 30 Seconds or Less
Presenter: Lynn Wilson
Description: An elevator pitch is a brief, persuasive speech that you can use to spark interest in what you or your business does. It’s called an “elevator pitch” because it’s meant to be short enough to present during a brief elevator ride.
Here are some tips to create a compelling elevator pitch to sell your business:
Start with a hook: Begin your pitch with a statement that captures the listener’s attention and makes them want to know more. For example, “We are revolutionizing the way people shop for groceries.” Explain what you do: In a sentence or two, describe what your business does and what problem it solves.
Highlight your unique selling proposition: What sets your business apart from competitors? Explain how your product or service is different and better than what’s already out there. For example, “Unlike other grocery delivery services, we source directly from local farms to ensure the freshest produce.”
Provide evidence of success: If you have any impressive statistics or awards, mention them to add credibility to your pitch.
End with a call to action: Finish your pitch by inviting the listener to take action, whether it’s to learn more, sign up for a trial, or schedule a meeting.
Remember to keep your pitch concise, focused, and energetic. Practice it until you can deliver it confidently and comfortably.
