All of these comments are correct.
Advertising is something that we did not do. The first year we had the local paper do an article on the 5 cents booth. Many people high fived us and cheered us on as they walked by the booth. Most people stood in the isle and wondered what we were about and why we were not selling anything.
They seamed very puzzled why were were not selling.
The both was free the first year and the second year we were charged a discounted rate. We also did not have a good location for designers, It is very important to have an appropriate location in the show. Since we did not pay the first year and the second was discounted they stuck us in unsold booth. Next year we hope to be placed in the appropriate section.
