Outdoors Trade Show Wussies

September 30, 2008

in Events

Currently blogging from my tent at the Outdoors Trade Show. Wouldn’t you think that such an event would attract outdoors types that would like a bit of tenting?
Apparently not. I have a field to myself and the nearest other tent is more than 100 yds away.
Lightweights.

Anyhow there should be a few nice new products appearing on the site as a result of my visit.
I’ll tell you what though, for an outdoors trade event there were far too many suits for my liking, plus there seemed to be a great deal of people on stands talking amongst themselves. Seems to me that when a guy is looking at products on your stand with a retailer lanyard you should interrupt your busy-talking-cobblers-with-your-colleague schedule to talk to him.

Just because he’s a scruffy oik in combats, doesn’t mean to say he doesn’t mean business.

Not all exhibitors fell in to this category, but guess which ones I’m more likely to deal with……
