weddings fairs/fayres etc.

did one yesterday, the second this year.
good feedback with a few people booking appointments
on the spot to go out and see them. our display blew the other guys out of the water. bwahahaha.
even had a coupla phone calls today , result.
wondering how many folks out there do wedding fairs, and how much work you get from them?

Nice one m8

Don't do them at all, actually not even considered them as such - but I have to ask... what was it about your display you feel 'blew them away'???

We booked our wedding photographer on the basis of his presentation at a wedding fayre.

Okay - so what did he do that made you decide on him rather than the others?

we mustve had about 15 albums on display rightfrom 8x8 upto A3. we got some new top of the range stuff , just on the market, which went down real well,not to mention lots of front covers. and lots of her work. plus a display board thats 6 ,
3 ft x 3ft panels of laminated prints of her work.
the guy opposite us actualy left his display, to do a job. leaving his mate , the video bloke to watch his stand. thankyou. we get to talk to customers, he doesnt.
its a hall where weve done a few weddings and know the owner well. so we could show prospective customers albums of work from the venue.
the other guys albums were good photographicaly , but a little plain n boring otherwise.hes been around a while.nice guy tho.
again , thankyou.

15 albums! That is some investment and rightly would look impressive

I've seen many a presentation stand of IFAs in the past and thought if I did wedding fayres I'd copy that route too. The main stand comes in a box and is your own image about 7ft high and 12ft wide as 5 long 'photos' that hand magnetically on the frame - it's all magic stuff

What's really good value is the individual strips can be bought one at a time in what looks like an up-side-down roller blind. You simply pull them up and hang them on a pole - all fits in a bag like a tripod for about £130 - one or two of those I'd say are well worth having

I did go look at a fayre near us a while back, the chap left in charge had a presentation going on a laptop and as I chatted to him it stopped. No-one had told him how to play it again!!!
