So we booked what is called an Industry Booth, because all Industry Booths were corner booths. We figured since it was a pricey booth, we wanted to be able to have three authors to help bring down costs. Next year we are going to try to get a more conventional booth, an inline, and just do two authors in the booth we think. We sold amazing, no complaints there, but we could tell that area got a little more foot traffic. The Industry section is less about sales a lot of the time, and more about demoing products. For example the booth directly across from us, which had booked all four corners of their island, was a new social media platform for cosplayers, who were just offering up a space for influencers to film content. We want to be in the space where folks are in a 'spend' mindset.
Also, my yard sign put in WORK. I'm serious yall, it brought hundreds of people to the booth over the weekend.
So yeah. I sold out all my omnibus editions and book 1's by Saturday, leaving me just seven Southern Saudades and two complete Ultimate Bundles I could sell on Sunday, and yeah, I sold them by around 1 I think. So the rest of the time was spent moving sales towards Hollis and Ben.
