[QUOTE=brand0n;13691707]im going, but id like to cover a few things real fast.
1st off.. talk to the fuckin guys lookin at badges at the doors. they think they are the fuckin ghestpo. if i leave my badge upstairs, no reason to put me through interrogation. i seen em last year giving sleazydreams sucha hard time that he looked like he might punch the guy or cry.
Having the hotel closed off to the public is what makes this event special. We have to be pretty strict on this one. That being said we will have them chill a bit this year.
also.. seein you are milking sponsors outta what.. 20k per booth.. why do us.. the guys who the sponsors are paying so much money to talk to have to pay to get in the door? okay.. how bout this.. discount the ticket price to 100 bucks, or 150.. something that everyone easly can afford. you have to keep in mind.. the small guy is worth 100s of thousands to the right program, but he wont go to the show if hes gotta fork out a months earnings to attend. and the sponsors who are paying the money that they are WANT that guy to go.
When you say us - does that mean that Quick Buck may step up and sponsor or advertise at Internext? I looked over and didnt see that you guys have ever sponsored, exhibited or advertised at Internext.
Badge pricing has always been an issue - you have to wiegh a couple things - if you make it too low you get the consumers coming to the show - we dont want that. I really feel that a $250.00 investment in a badge for the show is worth it - if you talk to one person and close a deal you have paid for that badge 20X over. The $250.00 badge price is just a bit more than other shows and with the access and perks you get with that badge I would say it is well worth it.
I would also like to give free badges to "qualified webmasters" to attract them to the show. If any programs have a proposal for me to do this correctly I would be willing to listen - offline.
model/talent/hooker passes defently need to be added. eye candy is a huge part of this biz, we all know it. i heard a guy going at the door guy last year about 2 hookers he was trying to get into his room.. i remember him saying, hey man im payin 500 bucks an hour, im not gonna pay another 600 bucks for 2 passes for these bitchs wholl be leaving in an hour anyways.
I always give free pases for talent / model / hookers - anyone who needs these hit me up. This is for show participants.
free wiseman. yes i know he threw a chair off the rail.. i get it.. but who hasent been there? c'mon.. work it out..
Wiseman is free.
an indoor smoking area would be amazing.. 90% of webmasters smoke. youll notice the balcony's covered with webmasters non stop. instead of having them outside, have them where your clients can reach them, and pitch them would be an idea. a few years ago when it rained so hard and the wind was amazing, i forget what year it was. well that did it for the smoker crew heh.
We cant change hotel policies. We may have a cigar lounge or something similar this year though.
