1) Invite exhibitors and leave them after.
2) Use word of mouth only to invite shoppers. Better yet, give the exhibitors free tickets and leave it to them to invite people to come.
3) Prepare several numbers of Magic Show even if kids are nowhere to be found
4) Hire an emcee that can turn the raffle prize of water kettle into water kitten. (Is she a magician?)
Doing part-time business such as joining bazaar is a great way to augment meager income especially during Christmas Season when people are eager to buy. Do this regularly, even during Christmas season only, and you will find yourself more to give or have enough funds for the coming year. However, be very cautious in joining bazaar. Check the history of the organizer first before joining and paying exorbitant rental fee for your stall. The job of the organizer is to draw people. Your job is to sell your products.
