I found this show to be extremely overpriced for what it delivers, especially considering foot traffic seems to be declining year over year (likely tied to the current economy). From what I observed, Saturday tends to be the only strong sales day, while Friday and Sunday can be quite slow. A lot of the attendance seems driven by free goodie bags, which creates a lineup in the morning but doesn’t necessarily translate into real buyers. It ends up bringing in more people looking for freebies rather than shoppers who are actually there to spend. It also feels like the same approach is being reused each year without much innovation in attracting higher-quality traffic or encouraging meaningful purchases. There’s definitely an opportunity to rethink the strategy and focus more on driving real shopper engagement. Until then, I'd think long and hard before buying a booth here. You will more than likely get your money back BUT turning a huge profit is questionable.
