Itwasn’ttobeanyoneperson’sideaofwhataguideshouldbe. Afterall, who knows your work and it’s market better that you... the person who is “inthetrenches”everyweek...talkingtocustomers...listeningtostories... dealingwithinclementweather...toleratingunreasonableshowsponsors and a whole slew of other things that it takes to succeed in this business. Overtheyearswe’veheardmanyofyoursuggestionsandifyou’ve been a subscriber for more than just a couple of years you’ve seen us implement many of your ideas. We’ve seen this publication transform fromsomethingthatresemblesourflyer...intooneofthemoreinfluential guides on America’s eastern coast. We’ve grown from a circulation that included a few friends... to one that numbers in the thousands... and we’re read by even more! God willing and with your support, we hope this growth continues... but most of all, we hope to continue to be one of the most useful tools you have in your quest to have your own business grow with the same good fortune we’ve had. Here’s some information you ought to know. HOW & WHY WE PUBLISH EVERY THREE MONTHS... We publish four times per year... Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall. Each time we publish, we list events for up to one year in advance. The reasonwedothatisbecauseinordertogetintomanyofthelargerevents, you have to send your application in several months before the show to be considered. For most events though the planning is only done a few months before the event and of course we can’t publish information if the event sponsor hasn’t even set a date. That’s why every three months or so we delete everything that’s already happened and then put in all the updated information that has just become available. That’s good news because most exhibitors don’t have the funds to book so many events so far in advance and even if you did, the chances of being accepted to every event you apply for are minimal. Everyone’s schedule usually consists of a few shows booked months in advance and then some they book only a couple weeks beforehand. Every three months you’ll get a fresh batch of shows and a new opportunity to book events! Thanks for being part of our family of subscribers! Thanks for being part of our family of subscribers!
