Here's a pic... sorry its so blurry:(

At any rate, it was a very small show that is put on two times per year by a local dj service and one of the venues in Folsom, CA. 8' x 8' booth - they provided one 6' draped table, and I brought mine as well. No sound running, though I did have the rack and CD-MIX2 powered up and meters blinkin away.

It's really super small in size/traffic - and at +/- $400 registration fee for a booth, it is a pretty safe investment (I'm hoping).

I definitely got out a lot of lit at the show in the form of some tri-fold brochures I made in Word for a show two years ago (professionally printed of course)...

And My wife had the idea of giving away some kind of promotional item so I decided on wrapped cookies. She went to Michaels and got some cookie bags and we bought a bunch of Costco cookies :)sqbiggrin:) and individually wrapped them in the bag.

My 6yr old daughter and I made a project out of hole-punching business cards that we then strung onto the tie-wraps to close them up.. so you can see them in the pic.

Got out a lot of those, and I had a ton left over, so on the way home from the show, I stopped at the dollar store and got some little baskets, and dropped some baskets with cookies and brochures off at area tux and gown shops.

I'm really banking on the residual calls from this one, and am waiting for the bride registration list so I can send out my usual email/snail mail blast campaign.

I have some peeps I talked to who did sign up specifically to be contacted, so hopefully I'll snag them!

booth looks clean,,, you might want to pretty it up next time, soften it for the Brides.

Se if you can talk to a florist and see if they will give you some flowers as long as you have some of their business cards there.

Looks like a great set up. At $400 for the space one booking pays for it and a second is profit so all around good one! Do they not let you play music at that show?

I agree, Chuck
another thought is to use a DIFFERENT color table drape than everyone else!
(and again, use softer colors)
It'll make your booth stand out a little more than all the others...

That's a good idea... seriously breaking form for me - using diff colors and all:)

I' black, black, and ALL black at events - from equipment to tables to socks!!

(unless they provide another color of table drape/skirt)
 
yeah....
what's the deal with DJ's and live bands...
and their obsession with BLACK???
never could understand that one!
 
The last bridal show we did we acutally got a nice bright red table skirt for our 2 tables. It helped because everyone except the videographers next to us had the black table skirts. It helped us stand out quite a bit.

As for the color black, well black is traditionally the color worn by stagehands and roadies. That way they're harder to see if they're in the background.

Actually for me its just classy and elegant. It speaks of formality. It fades into the background as opposed to standing out (I prefer to be heard and not seen... My performance area and the equipment I used to do my job shouldn't be a visual focal-point in the room.... Ideally it wouldn't even be visible at all, but it is what it is... YMMV), and goes with everything. :sqwink:

Its the all-purpose color!
 
yeah, black is the new.....BLACK!
everything I own is black, too.

"..it's the color that never clashes with anything!"

Hey, it's true!

There's a reason that renting a tux of any color other than black* will make you a laughing stock!

*Only exception in certain cases may be white, but it's impossible to keep clean - especially doing what we do! So yes - black wins by default!

Am I to take it I'm the only guy here who doesn't have "his side" of the walk-in closet devoted almost exclusively to his pressed, folded, and hung table drapes of 14 different colors?
