Hi all, Have my first Bridal show coming up at the end of January and while things are coming together pretty good as far as booth set up, images, albums etc I do have a couple questions
Give aways. Are they a must? Now, when I say give aways I am thinking of two types I keep reading about. One would be like having them register for a drawing for a free bridal session or engagement. I have mixed feelings about this as I really don't see much benefit of providing this service if the bride happened to have already booked someone else as her wedding photographer.
2nd I have read where lots of vendors have handouts such as cookies with their logo, water bottles with their logos etc. Is this something I should consider?
I ask this having already pushed my budget about as far as I really want to. This being my first I have basically started from scratch, but if most feel these are things expected at the show then so be it.
I will finish up with this question on closing the deal. Do you try and close at the show or do you basically just try and gather as much info from a potential brides and set up a follow up meeting. I have read good and bad on both. I can see why you could lose out on someone if you are tied down going over your contract etc with one bride and ignoring others in your booth. But then a bird in the hand is always better!!
Open for any suggestions, Thanks
Greg
