This past weekend (February 27, 28, Mar. 1) a fellow author and I shared a booth to promote our books and businesses. I was blessed out of my socks to share in the adventure at Galaxy/Fest 2015 at the Antlers Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO.
Being a vendor/business promoter is an awesome opportunity. Sharing a booth with another like-minded friend is truly engaging. We got to talk about our businesses, our families and our personal goals. I plan to join in sharing a booth with my friend next year as well.
Check around your community for events where you could buy a booth or share a booth, and promote your business/books. I took candy to give away, and bookmarks (to sign) and give away, and plenty of books to sign and sell. One advantage of having a shared booth: you can leave the booth and browse while your friend stays with the merchandise; you share the opportunity both ways.
Get out and start ‘boothing;” start investing in your business by paying for a booth. It gives exposure to you and your products for less than other forms of advertising.
