Da Big Homeshow


I'm going to the homeshow tomorrow after church. I thought about distracting the sales rep at each booth while Judy lays a stack of flyers on thier table

Then I guess I'll have to stop back by the church on the way home.

Prowall, are you or have you been down there yet, just kinda like to know what to expect.

Bob

Bob, from your pics, it sounds like a good plan. If you were near my booth I'd be keeping an eye on YOU. LOL

Re: Da Big Homeshow


I haven't been to one of those in a couple years. But they always call me to try to rent a booth from them. You might want to look into it, the price was a lot cheaper than I thought it would be. If I recall correctly, it was around $600 for a 10' for the 3 days. Not a bad investment if you have some good displays made up, flyers, pics, brochures etc.

I attend 2 a year, both are included in my TCBA dues. Both generate quite a few leads = jobs = back to word of mouth, my best advertising source.

I looked into home show pricing last friday. Everything in my area is $1000 for a small 8'x10' booth. Hardly the size I'd need. I'd need at least 10'x15' which is $2000

The last time that I was at the boat show up there, the union had to do everything. Add another $500.00 for them.

Re: Da Big Homeshow


Boat show? Can you put a boat on those little ponds up north? ( I mean other than an ice-breaker )

Re: Da Big Homeshow


Rich, I've never seen so many tin boats in my life, more than opening day of walleye season in Port Clinton, OH.
