Booth Policy When you call and organization to obtain a booth, you must ask if an Usborne Books representative held it the previous year or time. If there was a representative there, you must call that person and ask if they are doing the booth this time. If they are, you may not proceed to obtain booth space You must have a verbal confirmation from the previous consultant before proceeding any further.

Booth Policy (con’t) If a consultant calls to see if someone is doing the booth and it is within 60 days of the event and the previous consultant has not yet registered, the consultant inquiring can obtain the booth. If the organizers of the booth will not give out the previous consultant’s name, you may add your name to list as a follow-up vendor.

Booth Policy (con’t) If you registered at an event as “Usborne Books at Home”, you may not sell or represent any other product. You are primarily there for leads for your Usborne business, any sales are a bonus.

Booth Policy (con’t) If you had a booth that is not located near you and you want it again this year, you must live within a 60-mile drive of the booth location at the booth is reserved. If you do not live in that area, you must back out and let the local people have the booth. If no one else wants the booth, you are welcome to it. If the event location changes from year to year, the original consultant is allowed to keep the booth.

Booth Policy (con’t) The final decision is up to the committee or person in charge of the booth. They have the final say on who does the booth booth and represents them. If questions arise, please contact your upline supervisor.
