Reasons
to be a vendor for our event:
- Last year we almost doubled our attendance and plan
to do even better this year.
- The total for last year's giveaways and
prizes totaled over $11,500.
There no other local swaps or regional
swaps that can match or exceed what we offer in prizes &
giveaways! This
attracts customers for you and you could win something as well!
- Our event has very low overhead (table &
room rates).
- Early Friday setup and a very helpful crew to help
you setup or takedown.
- We work with any coral vendor with special
requirements or space requests.
We
will be heavily promoting
this event through forums, websites
and direct email.
We are full for this event!
