James77 Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 So I've recently been looking into cost to exhibit at some of the shows, and I'm curious on a few things. First questions, are there any smaller shows that people have attended which have had a decent turnout ? The two big one's I know of are the Spring Fishing and Boat Show- Which is in the middle of February this year! and the Toronto Sportsmen show which is moved back to the Airport venue and is in the middle of March. Both shows come in around $1200-$1500. Any smaller cheaper shows? Second question, I've seen a lot of guys on here post up with business ideas, if anyone is interested in potentially splitting a booth please let me know! Thanks for any help guys!

Garnet Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 Lot's of small guys and not so small hitting the tackle swap. Most well attended. The Bowmanville Swap has max there building and likely are moving to Newcastle. There's 1 in Trenton/Stirling, Hamilton, one near the airport. Think table space under $80 mixer of new and used. The key to all booths is to talk to people, sounds crazy but you see booths all the time with to much staff all huddle telling there story's.

Handlebarz Posted August 22, 2015 Report Share Posted August 22, 2015 I wonder how the other show will do when it moves back to the international centre. We want to hit some smaller shows also it's nice to get out and meet people face to face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James77 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Thanks Mike, That looks like a great show, they don't have a contact up for this year yet, but it's still early I guess! James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
