Re: Whos NOT going to the Florida show?
Just curious Jace, but what big show do you know that is cheap? I'm guessing you're not really familliar with the convention biz in general, because it doesn't matter if it's a porn convention or an insurance convention, they're always expensive.
I've never been to a show yet that didn't pay for itself many times over in new business, so maybe you need to learn how to network better.

I have made more money and done more long lasting deals from online meetings than I ever had from any trade shows....don't know why, guess I am just not a outgoing person, I have never been into sales...I am a pretty shy guy, so networking with people in a large setting like that isn't my thing....I am much better online, and I do damn well keeping it online so, you are probably right, maybe I do need to network better, but I am damn sure not spending $3k+ to take lessons when I do it just fine from here on my couch We will be in Vegas though for AVN and Internext, but only because that show is much more reasonably priced and the city surrounding it makes it a nice vacation also.... |

Re: Whos NOT going to the Florida show?
Unless you're including your airfare in that $3k, I'm not sure how you're coming up with that figure though. The show costs $300 and the hotel room is $189 per night or about $600 for 3 nights.

now, multiply everything x2 because it would be silly for Tabitha's Toybox to be there and not have Tabitha with them badges: $600 room: $600 airfare: $500 then food, drinks, etc, etc...usually ends up being $500-700 for 4-5 days while it may not be $3k on the nose, it would end up being close, and shit, even $2k is too much in my book to maybe get some business, the same business a simple email or phone call could have gotten just as easily |

Re: Whos NOT going to the Florida show?
I would like to go to the Florida show sometime, but my birthday falls around that time and I just like spending time with the Mrs., take some time off and just get that alone time that I need.

But I agree that's one reason not to like florida and especially the new format, it's pretty much the Westin or bust...and there's not a lot of cheap stuff there. Even in Vegas, you can do it on a budget, stay off strip, eat cheap, etc. |

I put an employee up at a nice hotel no more than 2 miles from the Westin a couple years ago as a last minute thing and it cost me $69 a night.

Have not been to a porn convention in 2 years. Very liberating.

Re: Whos NOT going to the Florida show?
We won't be going, again. We went in 2003 and 2004 and really got nothing out of it. We just ended up having a lot of people eating and drinking on our dime, with no real results.
We're still not sure about the next Vegas show. I think I'll go sailing instead. -- Danny |

Besides the only time I take off from work is during my birthday, the rest of the year, including weekends is work time and I have business interests outside of porn I still maintain...so I have to carefully plan out my time off. |
