Hi All,

Our local stamp club will be attempting our first ever stamp show/forum

at our local library in September.



We asked our club members to submit names or titles to call our "show"

to be put in and on our advertising for the event.

So far we have not had many ideas that sounded quite right.


I would like to know if any of our members here have any suggestions!

We could certainly use the assistance!




Details are;

club name: Greenville Stamp Club

We will be having 6 framed exhibits, a youth table with giveaways/handouts,

an appraisal booth/table, 4 short Powerpoint presentations (5-10 min. each)

on "What I Collect & Why" by club members,

and an Open Question & Answer Panel.





So far we have had only a few suggestions, as follows;


1) GSC Postal Stamp Exhibition

2) Grandpa's Stamps - What To Do

3) Greenville Stamp Club Stamp Fair

4) Greenville Stamp Club Expo





Any questions, please ask;

any ideas, please post!!

How about "The World of Stamps"

First thing that popped into my head when I saw it was being held in a library.

re: Your Help Needed!

Greenville Philatelic Exhibition, or GREENPEX. Most people won't have a clue what "philatelic" or "GREENPEX" mean, but I'm not sure that would matter. People who aren't interested in stamps wouldn't attend if you were to hand out free Penny Blacks. Stamp collectors will be there, though. How about advertising thus: "Visit GREENPEX, Greenville Stamp Club's Stamp Fair".

I like David's idea. Advertise free appraisals for old stamp collections or accumulations of "antique" mail. The public would eat it up.

re: Your Help Needed!

How about something like this:
"Discover the worlds greatest hobby at the first annual Greenville Stampathon"

Another easy thing you could do is set up a table with a computer or two with my website "The World of stamps" This would enable people to view all of the countries with which they might find interest in. Of course there is nothing for sale there so that should not be a conflict.

re: Your Help Needed!

Do you know of any dealers nearby who would come and set up a table ? That seems to draw a few outsiders to our yearly show. Start with one or two and see how it goes. Club members also pick up interesting items....

UPDATE!!!

Our local club voted on the name for our upcoming show at the Flat River Public Library

here in Greenville, MI;

the winning title was, "GREENVILLE STAMP FAIR"



Here is an initial mockup of the flyer/handout we will be printing up -



Image Not Found



Colors have not been decided as yet;
we will have NO sales of any kind, as this is not allowed at the library;
this will be our second 'Fair' - our first was at a much smaller town library.



Thanks to all who posted ideas/suggestions! We used a few!

re: Your Help Needed!

I am not sure "fair" conveys much about the content of the event. Given there are no sales, this is an information only event (no sales), this should be emphasized more. It is more like a show-and-tell.

If you want to test names or concepts, find people who do not collect and ask them what impression they get from the name and flyer. People who already collect are biased.

My bit o'advise

Be sure that the presenters and exhibitors are geared towards the general public and new collectors. On the "What I Collect and Why" it would be best to have someone with general USA, general world, a topical or two... I wouldn't want to do my presentation on the 1902 Ben Franklin stamp there!

Same with the exhibitors. Make it light and visual.
