vinylmotivations 143 Posted November 21, 2011 Figured I would share since everyone likes to see!!!.. We attended a craft show this weekend, which in attendance between the 3 days we had over 12,000 people. Our "Table" rent was just under 450$ for the weekend which we easily made up between myself and my sister's "sister" company A&W Home Decor (silk florals, wreaths etc.)... The company that puts on this show also locks in exhibitors over years times, so basically there is no chance of getting another "vinyl" person in the doors to steal away my business, kind of a captive audience. There is one other guy that does similar work- but he only provides pre-made items, and offers custom orders via mail as well as printed light switch plate covers (just covers which are laminated with a wrap essentially) I snapped a few pics of the booth, and we're working on exact numbers yet on how well we did for sure. Take a look! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

vinylmotivations 143 Posted November 22, 2011 Thanks guys for all the positive comments... I am getting solid numbers in for the show, between the two companies we brought in just under 800$ over the weekend.... not taking into consideration, supplies and table rent- so depending on how successful you figure- I did hand out 300+ business cards.

vinylmotivations 143 Posted November 23, 2011 This show was one of the Callahan ones at the fairgrounds... in the Varied Industries Building... For those of you who aren't from around here, the building holds 300+ exhibitors, around 165,000 square feet. There were about 12,000 people that came through the doors.
