We've decided to do a bridal show this year in our county. It's a fairly new show and had about 200 brides last year. I believe there will be only 3-4 photographers at this one. I'm in the process of putting together our booth. Planning to do a P&D backdrop, double-swag, white background with maroon swags on the ends. I'll likely uplight the backdrop. Just bought a 3-section, wire gridwall that is free-standing and will hang the framed portraits from our studio. I'm still debating on whether to setup a TV with slideshow on it. Wifey thinks we'll do better with hard-copy product; portraits and books than we will with a TV. I'm also debating about whether I should put up my two Chauvet Intimidator 255 movers on the back corners of the booth. Wifey thinks not, but I'm inclined to use it catch attention. Last year, I think there was 1 DJ who had any kind of moving lights.
For promotion, I'm looking at handing out rack cards and price lists. If they want to book the day of, I'll offer a 10% discount, across the board. I'm not sure about giveaways at this point. Booth price is $350. I'm probably spending another $600 for the display (display racks, curtains, photobooks, new rack cards, etc). Would appreciate your thoughts and suggestions in regards.
