If you have never been to a large gun show I highly recommend it. Yes everybody there wants you to spend your money, but you can learn a lot from the products they are selling or by just talking to the people themselves. The experience itself is worthwhile and fun (even if you don't enjoy shopping.)
There’s booths for every hunting thing you can imagine (weapons, ammo, books, hunting tools), and there are some booths that don’t really fit (fine jewelry, gourmet foods, candles.) It is important to make a budget for yourself and visit every booth before spending your money at LCL Hunting Shop.
If you want to be a vendor at a gun show, there are a few things to keep in mind.
- Make sure your table is set up to be most visually appealing
- Know that customers will mostly walk around for the first hour
- Customers are like fish, if you move too quickly they’ll get scared and leave
- Make sure you have extra of your best product (we sold out of fire starters the first day)
- Get to know and be friendly with other vendors, the more connections the better
- Know the product you are selling, don’t sell anything you don’t know the name or purpose of
It is a good idea to have someone running the booth with you. That way one of you can watch the booth while the other can use the bathroom, or get lunch, or walk around a little to wake himself up. It also makes it easier to deal with more customers and keep an eye out for shop lifters when there's more than one person.
I love going to gun shows because it is a chance for all the vendors to show the world what they have to offer. The shows are filled with stories, knowledge, good merchandise, and great times
