Exhibitor letter:
With Wonder-Con moving temporarily to Anaheim this year, it has left a hole in the comic convention world of northern California, that we are hoping to fill. This year should be a great one for the fans, exhibitors and friends of Big Wow! ComicFest. We have a lot more "media" advertising than ever, including 5 weeks of ads starting next week in the "East Bay Express" and "The San Jose Metro", over 60 spots on "KRON Ch.4TV". We have passed out over 30,000 flyers, been represented (and handing out flyers... personally) at every Toy and Comic (and most Anime) shows on the West Coast, for the past year.
We have also raised our "internet" presence thanks to "ComicArtFans.com", "Facebook" and "Twitter". Along with more "blog" and internet articles and press releases. The word is spreading.
As exhibitors at the show, we take this time to ask one small favor of you. If you have an email feed (list), twitter account, Facebook or website.. please take a minute to shout out to your customers and fans about the show and that you will be there, and to come and support you, the show and our industry.
Attached to this email is an "Exhibitors Kit" designed for you by Event Productions, our "exhibitor services" company. Please take a minute and go over al the information. Included are set-up and break-down times, shipping information and order forms if you need additional display equipment for your booth. Please feel free to call them or me if you have any questions.
There will be a floor plan attached to the website on April 23rd. Your booth assignments are now posted on the website, along with a list of all our guests, small press and publishers. Be sure to take a look at the website for updated information. The show program will be posted within a week. Please be sure to check out your booth assignments after April 23rd on the floor map.
Also, speaking of programs... This year we will be having a Big Wow! program book for the fans, and have a few spots still available to advertise with the show. As an exhibitor you can use the ad to spotlight an event or sale at your booth, or to let the fans know about your store or internet business. For more information, rates and deadlines, please check out the website under "Advertising" for more info.
