- If there’s an emergency, immediately notify the nearest police officer or ER professional, a Volunteer Captain, or Guild staff member, or call 911.
- Bring marketing items that folks aren’t just throwing away. This is your opportunity to get in front of a huge audience – make a display that has your newsletter sign up QR, your website QR, or create a sign up form where if they sign up today they can win one of your products. Another great one is stickers of your brand/logo, with the location (for collectors) and promo codes on the back of the sticker – make it #bripbfest(yourbrand) to keep Press alive. If you have any ideas please don’t hesitate to reach out.
