This is pretty much cut and paste from a post I have on another site.
I'm fairly confident all or almost everyone here has attended a show at some time and maybe even a few who were on the other side of the table as a vendor. Friday and Saturday was my first time as a vendor or having a table setup at a show to sell something. Every show is different but I just want to pass along my thoughts. Both days were long, at times sitting there and just watching people walk by. Other times you spend a lot of time talking to someone who you know is just wasting your time. If your lucky enough to get a table that has power to it you can keep busy on your laptop and keep your phone charged. If your without your limited to how long your battery will last. Then you get close talkers or people who do not know anything about personal hygiene. So keep these things in mind next time you attend an event. Was it worth it for me, I'd have to say yes as I did get 2 sales and a few people who said they'd be in touch but I take that with a grain of salt. Will I do it again, yes I'm attending one at the end of the month that Is a larger show than the one I just attended and again in March for a smaller show.
