Okay, my two cents canadian:
They SHOULD have them, but they CAN'T have them... quite simply, the "booth talent" usually spends the whole weekend, attends the parties, hangs out in the bars, etc. Except for whatever their work relationship is, these girls are paid to be there - and often paid well. $100 per day for a badge for a booth bunny isn't exactly going to break anyone. Think about this: $2600 per 8X10 square on the floor. If you run a 20 X 8 booth (two squares) you are spedning 5200 right there. Ship your booth, set it up, tear it down, bring stuff to give out, promo material, get your people to the show, get them on the floor, pay for them to eat for 4 days, yadda yadda... It would not be out of line for a company to drop 20k-40k to do this.
$600 in badges for the two booth bunnies is the last thing on the list, trust me.
