Some Affiliates place their booth in the place most likely people might mingle. Order a banner for your Affiliate through NCTM Affiliate Services that can be used for all affiliate events. Hang this sign prominently over the NCTM Booth at your event. Make sure that an advertisement is placed prominently in the event program book. Arrange for speakers to present session on new or their personal favorite NCTM materials at the conference.
Special sessions can focus on elementary, middle, and high school materials.
Some affiliates use all of the proceeds from the sales towards gift certificates that they raffle off throughout the conference. Make up a one-page handout briefly outlining what your volunteers need to know about working in the booth. Delegate as much of the onsite detail work to other volunteers so you can focus on making sure people know what to do, energizing them to talk with customers and to promote materials. As you plan, make sure you are identifying and preparing people to take your place in the future. Keep a notebook with information on how you setup this consignment to make it easier for next year or to pass on the next person.
