Have a Message
Don’t overwhelm students with too much information at once. Have UP TO three points you want them to understand and stick to those. If students ask for more information, give it to them, but if not, just stick to your original three.
Make Sure You're Prepared
To be successful when tabling, your representatives need to know what they’re doing and why. Go over the message with them, any particular activities and prizes you may have, and who they can talk to if they have an issue while tabling.
Be Unique!
Students will be bombarded with flyers and papers throughout the event. If that’s what you’re handing out make sure they STAND OUT! If you have creative students in your group, use them to make a graphic or figure out other mediums to hand out information.
Have Activities
People, in general, are more likely to see what your message is if there is something to draw them in. Whether it is a spinning wheel with prizes, trivia, a mascot, or a game, figure out an interactive activity that will help to create a conversation naturally.
Hand Out Free Stuff
Okay, nothing is truly “free,” but allocating some of your group’s funds to put your logo onto different unique handouts will get more buzz around your table and help gain some name I.D. for your campus group. Sometimes your group’s larger organization will send you stuff to hand out to students, but if they don’t, here are some websites that might be able to help.
