Sales: You may NOT sell food or drinks at your booth due to Convention Center rules. You can hand out samples, and book your services on the day of the show, but cannot sell menu items - this is a showcase/exhibition event.
Promotions: Upon signing up to participate in the showcase, we will run promotional social media posts, list your business on the event website and Facebook event pages, highlight you as a vendor and other spotlight type advertising. In order to do this, it is important that you submit your Social links, website and any images you want us to include. Take advantage of the advertising by also sharing and tagging us in all your posts promoting your page. Remember the more people that see the posts and event, the more bodies will end up showing up to the show. We will request all vendors both like, share and follow our San Angelo Weddings & Events page, as well as showing the same support to your other vendors showcasing. We can grow collectively thru supporting other small businesses like your own.
Networking: This event is a great opportunity to cross network! Bring cards, flyers, or other items that you can use to promote yourself to others in the wedding industry, Between 1:30pm and 2pm when the show opens we will encourage you to visit your neighboring booths and network.

We will give each show attendee a vendor directory at the door in their goody bag with your business listing inside - we will include a section that shows any promos you are running for the day of the show. Brides will skim thru this during their visit, so if you run a promo at the show, you take encourage brides to book you during the show - take advantage of this opportunity! Any promo items you'd like us to include in the free goody bags you can arrange with the show promotor via email at info@sanangeloweddingsandevents.com
