[QUOTE="PennyGuy, post: 3042031, member: 17502"]Jason I started a small local coin show for my local club a few years ago. We have 32 tables and the club does very well. As a non profit education focused club we use the coin show proceeds to fund our state Society Exhibit prizes and Numismatic related book purchases for our local library where we hold our monthly meetings. As far as show hours, I’d suggest dealer arrival at 7:30-8:00, open to the public at 9:00-10:00, and closing at3:00 PM. I would first look at the space I have available, do you have enough tables and chairs? Four chairs per table, two on the dealer side and two on the customer side. Also plan on a back table for each dealer. You also need to provide one electric outlet for each dealer table. Also try to have a seven foot aisle. Prepare a master floor plan and number each dealer table. Some dealers might want two tables and others will opt for a single. Be sure to plan an a space between adjacent dealer tables. Once you know how many tables you can accommodate look toward filling them. Does a local club or a state association have info on dealers in the area. If so start a list of dealers with address and phone and emails. Start thinking about a Dealer Table Application form, I can help with this. How will funds be handled? Get a handle on this. All this will help you present a through plan for approval. Feel free to start a Private Conversation with me and we can talk more.[/QUOTE]
