Booths are expensive, they may not look like much, but they cost a fortune.

yup
you have no idea where all these hidden costs come from!

it cost us about $2000 to hang the friggin sign above our booth because of union laborers

the booth itself is completely interlocking peices so if we ever want to make it bigger or smaller it can be adjusted easily...

the guy who did it is http://www.davidtorres.com/

haha DH, when I saw you there you looked like a little kid in a candy store.

You're talking about apples and oranges. A house that can be broken down for freight, the union workers to put it up and take it down, the rental for the space, etc. can easily put a 50X40 booth well over $100K in price.

Some of the smaller booths are around $25K - and that's with basically nothing but a backwall, maybe a TV, some chairs and a table.

Thats actually AEE. Everyone is under the assumption that that is AVN's show. I do know that their show is advertised exclusively through AVN.

ANE and Internext are AVN's shows as well as L.A. Erotica. L.A. Erotica is th only consumer AVN show that they produce on their own.

Advantstar is the owner of AEE. AVN does their ads and stuff for the show. The money isn't funneling into AVNs pocket, but I'm sure they make a decent amount of money off of it. Its the advertisers in the AVN mag, not online that makes AVN their cash. :2 cents:

Trust me expensive booths are NOT good investments...

Good product and good staff is a much better way to make money

It is a quick way to gain attention through a high risk marketing campaign...you have three days to make your booth convert to business

risky proposition

Some of the booths at Comdex in its prime would make anything in adult look like a Lego setup... I remember Microsoft, Sony, etc having these giant fucking setups. I also remember one year the video show was in Vegas in July (there used to be a summer video show as well as the January one) and there was a non-adult video show running at the same time. Once again, Sony, Universal, Disney... those were some massive displays.

50.........

lol Ava Devine is has grabby hands.

I remember when we had booths that size and larger with rides and stripper poles every. then we started to realize it was to impress each other not the consumer.
its a great way to let the fans reach there pornstars if the online side decided to go that route ,but not a good idea for B2B :2 cents:

I have to say that was a very impressive booth. Everyone else was taking pictures of the girls and i was taking detailed pics of the booth to see how to reproduce it for our studio. Great Freakin Booth :thumbsup to NA

hanco, who?
