    I remember talking to a supplier who's stand at the RDS cost €20,000.00 for a 4 day Exbo, he was lucky to generate €1000.00 worth of orders that week.

    What show was that.

    I presume it wasn't a gun dealer so. At that price how could anyone justify that outlay.

    Obviously not a gun dealer, the stand in question would be the equivalent of the ground floor of a small three bed semi detached house. The cost over the exbo inculded floor space, displays, construction cost of displays and back drops, then you also have to take into consideration staffing, transport etc etc.
    Even a booth just big enough to facilitate a tressel table costs quite alot.
    Once you move into a venue that will guarantee a high level of foot fall you can expect to pay big money per meter of stand space. The problem is you often don't cover the cost of being there and are really only promoting yourself to potential customers.

    Money probably better spent on advertising.

    The Nargc stand at the ploughing costs 10000 euro Anna May does not do discounts.
    3 metres by 3 metres in one of the large marquees will cost you 1700 euro

    Unfortunately not this year - there will be a gunfitter at Shanes Castle 29/30. If you want to make the trip I'll send you a couple of half price admission vouchers and the gunsmith carrying out the service is doing it at a special game fair price.

    If possible would be great to get a couple of these vouchers, was thinking of going up on Sunday from Kildare.

    Was at the fair in Scarva recently and enjoyed it.

    Will this be a similar fair?
