Thinking of Ideas for Booths After the Holiday's

[Bill Faber]

Being that I am still a newbie and trying to grow my business I was wondering if you have some suggestions for how to find fairs to do after Christmas. I live in Florida and so any ideas you might have to find some things to keep getting my name out there would be great and appreciated.

Thanks,
Bill

Get yourself into any kind of Trade Show. They are a little expensive, but you could secure the event and then open to other PC consultants in your area, unless you want to pay the full fee. I am doing a 4 days RV Show in Columbus, OH in January. It is only $300, which is a very fair price. The beauty of trade shows, etc. is that you always come away with more than you went there with (bookings, leads, sales). Do an internet search in your area for RV shows or flower shows, bridal, etc. Have fun.
