Set up a table yesterday at a fairly large mall for a home expo put on by a local Christian radio station. My placement was optimal, between JC Penny,Sears and the food court. Traffic flow was decent, but interest by passer-by's was just plain pitiful. People just wanted to do their shopping and that's it. It wasn't only our table, but every table, talking with other vendors. It seemed like every "interested" person turned out to be other people that had set up at the show or was there to try to get interest in their pay to play "networking opportunities". The only time that the shoppers seemed to stop was if someone got on the main stage to play music, cloggers, or guys putting on a martial arts routine.
I had much suceess earlier in the year setting up at locations where the home show was the main attraction, so setting up in a mall setting is NEVER gonna happen again.
I don't want to be too quick to call it a waste of time for someone looking at doing a show like that, butI'd love to have the $400 back for this one and I won't do it again! Maybe some other guys have had success at one like it?
