Do I want to set up a booth? Its outside - have to provide tables, chairs, tents (which I have). All day event, possibly hot. I really want to do it because of sales/leads, but am presently feeling lazy. Maybe I can divide up the shifts with someone so I don't have to be out there all day.
 
You should always have two people on hand at all times. Splitting it up would be great too, you can split the cost between everyone.
 
It's totally understandable that you're feeling lazy about setting up a booth for an all-day event. It sounds like a lot of work to provide all the necessary equipment and sit outside in potentially hot weather. However, if you're confident that this event will bring in sales and leads, it might be worth pushing through the laziness and setting up the booth.One idea could be to divide up the shifts with someone else, as you mentioned. This way, you won't have to be out there all day and you can take breaks when you need them. It might also be helpful to have a friend or family member join you at the booth to keep you company and help with sales.Ultimately, it's up to you to weigh the potential benefits against the effort and discomfort of setting up the booth. If you think it will be worth it in the end, then go for it! But if you're really not feeling up to it, it's okay to prioritize your own well-being and skip this event.
