2) I would like a slide show because that is very visual and can be seen if it is displayed slightly higher for everyone to see inside and outside your booth AND a few still shots on display within the booth.

3) Oh, yes, a live model is a great attention getter. Perhaps you could partner up with a local bridal shop and ask them to borrow the latest and the greatest dress in exchange for putting up their sign along with a stack of their cards. She could be the one collecting names and e-mail addresses for the give-away. Oh, and in return for using their dress in your expo booth, perhaps the bridal shop could display some of your photographs in their boutique. Networking at it's best.

4) I do not think it is fair to lower the discount wedding package from 20% to 5%. That is high pressure sales and will get you no where fast. Brides are there to collect information, not necessarily cave into high pressure sales. Why not just offer a discount to everyone who books an appointment for the month of October. You could offer different discounts for different packages. A 5% discount is insulting.

5) Nah, the pink lights are too disco. If you want lighting, hang a beautiful chandelier.

6) A drawing is a great way to get peoples address for future marketing purposes. I would offer a discount on one of your packages for the grand prize. Now, that would be great!!

You just have to try lot's of different things, you'll find something that looks great!

I think you analysis is well done with regards to the financial industry and utter garbage with regards to the food industry where you have at best a layman's perspective.

Nemo et el, speak authoritatively about something they barely grasp, and that's ok. But, at any given slice of historical time, nobody has ever had more than a cursory grasp of even a small fraction of the factors driving our broader collective reality.

The one thing that differentiates relatively successful societies is the devolution of power and authority precisely because it acts as a bulwark against the nonsense of banded individuals.

One Id mirror of modern external bubbles, are the ego inflation bubble present in western man. Witness the comment by Nemo: “Investors serve a useful purpose. Speculators are pure leeches on society and should be treated as such” In an economics blog.

The ego to knowledge ratio is staggering, especially in a forum so rich with counter factual evidence.
