Trade Show Expense Budget

Your success depends on trade shows, for they are the most efficient test of your hypothesis.  Yet, they need not be too expensive to attend.  Where most others are forking over $20,000 for a show, you can have your own booth all-in for $8000, or share one for $2000, or get a sales rep and pay nothing.  I have a .pdf decision tree on this, and feel free to email me for that.  Here is an excellent and comprehensive list of trade-show related expenses, for which to budget.

Feel free to forward this by email to three of your friends.
