Start providing your newsletter readers with more content and more value and reduce the amount of sales offers and affiliate links and watch your sell thru rate soar.As a scrapbook marketing specialist, I am often asked if new companies should attend one of the craft trade shows as a vendor/exhibitor.My initial thought is that it's expensive. You often have to be a member of the sponsoring trade association, THEN you have to also pay for booth space, shipping and drayage, and any necessary travel. It's literally thousands of dollars.
