[QUOTE="pro-rabbit, post: 7518369, member: 551878"] There lies the problem. Promoting costs money no matter how you look at it. I have been doing this for many years and this is and always will be an issue. Most shows put on by a store/manufacturer raise next to no money for them self. They gain awareness which will net some funding, but not much. So then you look into sponsors or selling vendor spaces to help cover costs. However, unless you have a solid show with a good turn out you are less likely to do well with a sponsor or vendors. It is a very tough road to travel down when you are doing these events. I have helped some of the most successful events ever and some of the worst. In all honesty it will boil down to participation and if you have a backer to keep up the show for a few years to get some type of recognition to gain sponsors and vendors. With all that in mind there are tricks to getting events going and getting a large crowd. You just have to know the right people or at the very least be able to pick up a phone and make some calls with the right offers.
