We’ve done shows on conventions before, but this one is different! This is a guide that takes into account the BUSINESS aspect of going to, and selling at, conventions. Tanya Higgins leads Fes Works and Mark Savary in this very discussion. Much credit to Jennie Breeden (The Devil’s Panties) and her guide to going to conventions and treating it like a business.

Thanks for the interesting show, i always wonder how people plan for such a crazy event.
One quick comment on the postcard thing. As someone who attends conventions as a consumer I don’t like taking postcards b/c sometimes its confusing wether or not it is for sale. I have grabbed cards off tables in the past only to get the evil glare and find out they are $2 each.
I love postcards but if its not obvious that its free I hold back- and i get embarrassed if i have to ask.
Also, i love free bookmarks too ^___^
Fes, the comedian you were thinking of was the late Mitch Hedberg. Here’s a couple of videos.

Couldn’t find his joke on flyers, but I’m sure it’s on youtube somewhere.
