True Samuel. My problem was I was not sure which direction people would be
coming from or where the best light would be. Since this was a two sided
affair I put my Suck Em In shots near each other and while one seemed to have
the direction, it did not have the lighting I wanted.
I seem to never have a problem getting people into the canopy! Wrong crowd for
the big bucks though.

Hi Rod
You got to have a Suck Em In shot that makes them stop look at it and then scan
the booth and walk around the whole booth.
A Suck Em In shot one or two photos is key to making them enter the booth versus
walking
by.

Sometimes (stress sometimes) thoughts from a relitive newbie help others
starting on this adventure.
Yesterday I had to think on my feet. My canopy was in the center row of a 3 row
event so I needed to have two open sides - first time THAT had happened. Be
prepared to adjust your best laid plans.
During the show I noticed that the people walking buy all seemed to notice and
be drawn into the booth from one piece while ignoring a piece right next to
it but facing a different direction. I moved the "better" piece to below the
draw and it worked much better. Move things around during the show once you see
the traffic patterns.
Another hint - take two shirts - a set-up shirt and an event shirt. Yesterday I
forgot my event shirt (as did Steve, another forum dude here). You can get
pretty hot and sweaty setting up. Luckely I cooled off before it reached 92 on
the cement.
I've been comparing each show to a baseball game - when I look back it helps to
focus my "success". Yesterday, no home runs, or triples, had a double and a
good number of singles for a one run victory. LOL
Remember - it's all a game, you just have to figure out how to win it.
