I think you need to ask yourself why they are going to give you a
$200.00 discount. They are trying to fill space. I did a bridal show
for Molly Morel (sp) a few years back. It cost me $550.00. And I got
absoulty nothing out of that show. It was my experience, when they go
to those shows, there still in the planning stages and not ready to
spend or commit to anything. I gave out so much literature, and cards
and samples. Every one was so excited, and loved the idea, I thought
for sure it was only a matter of time before my phone started ringing
off the hook. Wrong!! It's been three years and still not one call
from that show.(they also get so much literature from so many, your
could get lost) After doing that show, I deceided to go the cheap
route. I put an introductory package together and went through the
bridal directory (the one they gave me from the show) and hooked up
with bridal coordinators. They are the ones you want to be with.
They'll do all the selling for you. They already have the client. It
worked out great for me. Of course she gets a small cut. But that's
just my experience. Sometimes in business you just have to take the
chance. It may be a great show for you. Whatever you decide, I wish
you the best.
