Have you ever been to a business show?

We've been invited and given a stand.
Now I don't really know what to expect.
I know what my company is offering but these are corporate companies and my boss said she doesn't want to do corporate events.
But perhaps headshots and team ones for LinkedIn!
I feel like a lemon whenever I go to these things, we do have booklets or any kind of price listings so I'm just talking abd redirecting people to her.

Yes. I attended Cotter and Company's trade show in Manchester, New Hampshire, when I was managing a hardware store years ago. Tables were filled with exhibits, very professional, for all the products they carried for their franchises. Samples were given away of small inexpensive things...pens, key chains, and so on. Business cards, for sure.

I brought my son, who was only about 11 at the time, and I gave him the giant key we were given at the door, and he was so excited that I was going to allow him to go to the big prize drawing! AND his key won a small chest freezer!!! He was thrilled!

I also attended a business show, where every nursing home and at home care company in the area was represented. We were given bags and souvenirs from every company that attended. Then we went to a lecture on Azheimer's, and after that, there was a drawing and I won a large hanging plant!
