Thanks guys. I am booth 413, fairly close to the front. Also the $100 fee ($90 for N54 members!) is for a 10' x 10' booth. We provide two tables, you can bring whatever tables and/or displays of your own you can fit in the 10' x 10' space.
All you guys out there who may be sitting on the fence; please realize I am a dealer first. I got tired of so many things going on at shows that I didn't like, not the least of which is just plain old unresponsiveness from promoters. I created this show not to get rich, my partner and I will count it a success if we "only" lose $2000, but to do a show the "right" way.
I know a gamble on a new show is exactly that, but I think the coolest thing we've done is offer to grandfather the rate for any dealer who does the first show and continues to do the show without missing any. If this show does become successful their rates will never go up. It's my way of thanking them for taking this first leap of faith.
We are in every calendar I could find, we've done one paid SCD ad so far with more to follow. We have an active facebook page with contests and updates. If there's anything I should be doing that I'm not, let me know! I have been talking with dealers at every show I go to. Putting out flyers, having others put out flyers for me at shows I can't attend, cold calling dealers up and down the east coast and basically living to get this show off the ground. If it's in my powers to do it, I will. Just let me know what "it" is!
