<p>[QUOTE=&quot;PennyGuy, post: 2041408, member: 17502&quot;]My local club does bi-annual shows.&nbsp; We early on decided to limit the number of tables available to be sold.&nbsp; The dealers see a coin buying audience and more tables means a smaller share of the pie for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>We have focused on advertising our shows.&nbsp; Small flyers are available at every local coin show within a 3-4 hour driving distance.&nbsp; A dealer friend carry&#039;s them to those shows for us.&nbsp; In a small city we have had great success with our local AM radio station.&nbsp; We also ask each person that comes into our show, how they heard about us.&nbsp; Was it the local radio, Coin World ad, newspaper ads (both free circulars and paid press), local signs/posters, a local dealer that referred them, etc?&nbsp; This information helps us focus on advertising that works.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bringing in buyers is what it is all about.&nbsp; With good traffic you can sell out your available tables and have dealers on a wait list for a table.</p><p><br /></p><p>Edited to add:</p><p>Do you keep attendance records?&nbsp; We give out a free hourly door prize ticket to each man, woman or child that comes in the door.&nbsp; It&#039;s easy to subract the first ticket number from the last one to get total attendance.&nbsp; The hall we rent is an American Legion hall.&nbsp; The legions auxullary runs the kitchen.&nbsp; They make a little money and provide a needed service.&nbsp; The dealers like the 6 different sandwiches they offer, with chips, drink and a cookie for $5.00.&nbsp; Happy dealers are worth a lot[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
