Health Fair Booth Ideas

Hello Optiboard Family!
Quick question for you all. Does anyone have some cool or fun ideas that doesn't cost a fortune for a small booth for a local community health fair? Thanks for any suggestions.

I like handing out our custom cleaning cloths. It's cheap advertising. Another idea is to hand out those little pocket credit card magnifiers. They don't cost a lot. If you do any low vision, it's nice to display your magnifiers and electronics (although be careful they don't walk away! They like those Eschenbach mags!)

Hand out your company brochures and brochures for different lens manufacturers. Give away the cleaning cloths with your name on them. Have a drawing for a nice pair of sunglasses.

Yes! I've done that. Great idea! You can even get a rep to supply the suns for you, so it won't even cost anything.

Put up a Snellen chart and give some complimentary VA screenings.
Get a foam board, attach some fugly 50mm frame fronts to it and have people throw darts at it without their specs on. If they hit inside the eyewire, give them some sample lens towelettes or spray. Make a game of it.
Have plenty of business cards and fliers available.
