Kudos to Elaine for putting together some great deals for show attendees. I think many techs expect bargains at shows and should get them.
There have been some great things discussed in this thread. I think sample sizing on nail products is the best idea. Tech's will pay for sample sizing if they want to try products before purchasing. I know unless you have been in the position to have a booth, it's hard to explain why the cost goes so high. I remember one year in New York they charged us $800 just to move our freight (1pallet) from the dock to the both and back. That's after the shipping cost to even get it to the dock. It's just unreal the costs. It was mentioned by Renee to take orders and ship the products. I would like to know how many of you would like that idea. I think local techs might not like it but those that fly in would think it would be preferred. I can only guess at why the supply houses are not carrying as much nail items. As discussed, most of them are owned by one company. If there is something you think they need to carry, ask them, write letters, email, it can't hurt. I just like to remind techs to support the companies that are really trying to support the industry. Without the support, many of them will cease to exist.
