My Honest thought is this CAN be a waste of time, Out of respect for those that have posted.
Ive attended these showes in the past, yes you do hit a large amount of people, there looking at everything, landscape people and all that go along with that type of thing,
Honestly after about a week has gone by I cant remember any of those that I spoke too, I did get some neat ideas for my own house, Projects I could do myself,
How many people are gonna take their car mats into a trade show and carry them around untill they find you to clean them, I didnt see any at the ones I went too, Good thought by any means but look around, (Really)
You would be better off talking to a chruch group or something along those lines, Like offering to clean a room for free a donation to speak to them or a function of the church, you get one on one with them sitting at one spot for you too talk,
It beats thousands passing you by that really dont care , Im not knocking anyone's idea they have been good, But you honestly have to look around, When it comes to home shows you will have to divide your time between you and the roof guy...
Sad to say But Carpet Cleaning is on the back of there mind at these shows
Nothing against them, But hit where you have a better chance of landing customers, You need them in one group and sitting too figure this out, Church's groups talk to each other, PEOPLE dont know each other at Home Showes
Just Food for thought Jim,
Church's or community groups do talk to each other and compare thoughts back and forth, word of mouth will always be better than advetising or home shows,
Best of Luck Jim
