Gayle,

What if you focused on selling décor to other participants (people who have
rented the booths) of the trade shows?  You'd get paid and you'd get the
exposure.  Also, you could focus on selling décor to the trade show
coordinators, get paid and get exposure OR get a free booth, if the trade
show is something appropriate for you to have a booth at.

Eventfully yours,

Hi all
We do balloon decor and delivery in our town.  The civic center here has 
trade shows such as holiday and art/crafts festivals.
I have heard opinions about the art/craft festivals, but what about the
trade 
shows?  Other than bridal shows.
 Is it effective to be doing these?  Would demonstrations at these shows
work 
well?    I know one has to pick and choose the shows they would like to do.

Booth costs are sooooo high you can't do every one!  
If you have any other thoughts or inputs.. I would love to hear them!
Thanks!
