Thanks, Dave!
I've had some time to think about the show, and overall I feel it was a successful venture.
I sold two basses that week and handed out over 100 business cards.
I think that's good because, with only a couple of exceptions, nobody there had ever seen or heard of Lowe Custom Guitars before.
One missed opportunity is that I had no guitars to show.
The vast majority of attendees were guitar players.
The venue was set up more as a vintage swap meet, so having a "branded" booth selling new gear was very much the exception.
I will probably invest in a banner and black table skirts for the next one, if only to add a bit of polish for the photos I post online afterwards.
It was fun to work out my pitch over the course of the first day, and by the end of day two I was a regular carnival barker.
The hot-rod and plug-and-play aspect of my builds was VERY well received by both attendees and exhibitors.
The logo shirts by EmbroidMe South Tampa were a hit, too.
