meccahiThis is something that I've been pondering seriously for the past few days.
I'm considering dropping Louisiana from my show list.
I sat down and started to really consider it. Is the show worth it? Is it worth the hassle the headache the politics and the outright lies that I've had to deal with there. I've been accepted into the Carolina show, which from all accounts is a MUCH better show, that runs pretty much parallel to Louisiana. It would mean not being forced to build a booth at a show that I have uncertain feelings about. It would mean a worlds' less panic and NOT having to make stock for two shows at once.
The other aspect is that I have developed a customer base there. There are people that come to that show specifically for my shop ( which is really gratifying to hear).
But is it worth it?
Peg, I'd like your input on this. Anyone else have ideas? Suggestions?
What makes one decide that a show is just not worth it. Especially after several years vending there. What is the deciding factor?
And why does it feel like failure on my part if I do drop it?
