Selling a business: expo and trade shows

Do you love going to an expo or to trade shows? When I was back home, I used to frequent such expos because most of them are bazaars where you can find great deals. Be it kids toys, baby and adult clothes, latest gadgets, local and designer shoes, household or office furniture, or even heavy machinery for production, there was always a trade show scheduled somewhere in the city or in Manila.

I actually thought of joining one of those one day. Maybe I can put up a small business, sell some kids stuff or accessories. One of my friends who have tried joining those advised me to see and check those expo hire to help me sell my business. She also mention that it's really hard to just be there, sitting, standing or waiting for customers for more than 12 hours in day, so I must be ready for that. Another advise from her is to make sure that trade show stand hire should be provided by professionals of a reliable company. Trade show stands can be really tricky and if not set up properly may collapse while you're busy trying to sell your wares.

Let's see if I can invest on something next year when we visit my hometown. You think I'm ready to start and sell a business?
