7 Reasons To Be A Vendor at Pagan Pride

Here is an article we wrote for the Pagan Pride Las Vegas Project.

Pagan Pride Day Las Vegas is coming up and we are looking for local businesses to participate as vendors of either goods or services at the event.  If you are a past partner, it’s important to get in early to ensure you have a booth.  If you’ve never considered marketing your product at a pagan principled event, consider the following.

1. Your business will be in view of hundreds of potential new customers.   Members of the pagan community love new things.  We love old things; we love things.  You have the potential to reach out to individuals at an event outside of the normal venue which allows you to meet, greet and market to a whole new demographic

2.  The above still being true, additionally if you are an established vendor of craft fairs, renaissance fairs, occult and religious themed goods then you can get your product or service in front of the intended target

3.  You become the de-facto expert on your goods and services.  You will have captured the attention of hundreds of individuals and own the conversation regarding your line of services of product.

4.  It is a perfect way to generate future customers through networking – So maybe you don’t get rich at Pagan Pride Day Las Vegas?  You will be building a loyal base of future consumers and interest; again, see point 3.

5.  It establishes continued or new goodwill and communication between you and the community. Pagan people are a diverse yet tight knit community.  You have an opportunity to establish yourself as someone who cares, if not shares, about our values and concerns.

6.  It’s a very inexpensive way to generate long term advertising and recognition – Like we said, you will hold the attention of hundreds of potential or future customers for the low price from $35.00 for a booth.

7.  It’s a great day of fun – Pagans can party and you will enjoy the beauty of good people on a good day

3 Reasons To Have A Community Booth At Pagan Pride Day

7/6/2016

 
Here is an article we wrote for the Pagan Pride Las Vegas Project.

3 Reasons Why Your Group/Coven Should Have a Booth
​at Las Vegas Pagan Pride Day

Pagan Pride Las Vegas All Faiths
1.  New Members For Your Group
More and more, long-time beginners are looking for groups to join and young people are being introduced to paganism every day. They want a safe place to learn. They need it. When you have a booth at your local Pagan Pride event, you can offer them a safe place to learn and grow your own group.
​
Here are some statistics on pagan* growth:
  • There are over 700,000 websites for Wicca
  • Roughly 10 million Wiccan-related books were sold in 2000 (up from 4.5 million in 1990)
  • In 1999, the Covenant of the Goddess reported 600,000 initiated witches
  • The number of self-identified pagans doubles every 18-30 months
  • ​​Don Lewis’ Witch School has over 250,000 students on the internet​
Pagan* – the statistics found were about Wicca, not paganism as a whole
​See sources for statistics below


2.  Meet the Other Communities
​
Not every pagan wants to practice the way you and your group does. They may want something a little more collegiate, a little more laid back, or a little less “pagan”. Getting to know the other types of pagan groups in your community allows you to know where to send these fledgling seekers. In southern Nevada alone, there are many forms of Paganism** (and these are just the ones that we are aware of):
  • Hellenismos
  • Druid Fellowship
  • Traditional Wicca
  • Eclectic Wicca
  • Alchemists
  • Faerie Wicca
  • ​Unitarian Universalist Pagans
  • Themelites
  • Goddess worship
  • Shamanic Wicca
  • Santeria
Paganism** – may or may not self-identify as “Pagan”, using the ‘non- Abrahamic’ meaning

3.  It’s Free Or Just $35
A booth at Las Vegas Pagan Pride is free. If you would like to sell items at your community booth to raise money for upcoming events or for charity, then it’s only $35. Booth space is limited, so reserve your spot early.

Here are some tips for having a great community booth

  • Bring a pop-up or two for shade
  • Bring extra chairs for visitors to come into your booth and talk
  • Bring extra members who can talk to visitors as well or so you can take turns without leaving your booth unattended
  • Set up an altar/shrine or a visual example of how you worship – Make sure the items you utilize for your altar/shrine can be touched by others. People love picking things up
  • Have a small brochure about your group that people can take with them. Make it visually pleasing. Include contact information and your social media
  • Offer water or refreshments
  • Consider having a crafting event or doing a lecture for the event you can advertise at the booth
  • If you plan on doing more of these events in the future, consider making a sign or getting a banner with your group’s logo on it to hang at the front or back of the booth
