Who's going to the Blade Show?

[Tyshoots]

Blade Show is inexpensive compared to other trade shows. At many trade shows, sales not allowed. You can take orders.

We decided a long time ago, any money we made at Blade Show is a bonus. Our primary purpose is to meet people and show our products.

The Blade Show payoff happens all year long.

Yep... my wife works for a company that sells a fence estimating program. No sales are allowed at their annual fence convention. This year 4 people went and the cost was over $20k. $1500 for a spot, $100 a day to rent a table, and $50 a day per chair. This show changes venue every year and the cost is the same. I bet the organizer's of the show are using the size of the show to save you money. Cost go up it's the reality of any business.

I don't even want to know what it costs someone with a big spread at IMTS. When we buy a new machine tool it's between $5k and$20k just cut the riggers to come set it for us. Then Mazak or Toyoda plops down 10 machines for a week 😲
