    Default Tanner Gun Shows

    I'm wanting to get your guys opinion on guns shows and apparel. I was wondering if it would be worthy of selling a pro American / 2nd Amendment style shirts at these shows? I have 4-5 different designs I would take. What are your thoughts? Are these shows saturated with shirts? I haven't been to a show in about a year and can't remember if I saw shirt vendors there or not?

    Seems like I see one booth selling shirts at the Denver tanner always. I don't remember seeing one very often at the Loveland tanner shows. And the PE show in Loveland seems like they always have one guy selling shirts. Cheyenne and lairmie shows I have never seen anyone selling shirts

    Doing the Facebook page approach. Hit or miss. Seems like people's walls are getting flooded with shirt offers.
    I'll look into selling here too. Thanks for the suggestions.

    This.

    I admit I don't fully understand the economics of Tanner. You buy a booth and then count on people to pay $8 just to look at your booth. Maybe they buy, maybe they don't.

    I used to be able to pay that in good faith knowing all the good vendors were consistently there (the target guy, the USGI tools/supply guy, the mag guys, etc...). But that wasn't the case last time I went.

    If the door fees were lower I would go a lot more. Probably bring people with me too because it is fun to walk around, look, and talk to folks.

    It's not how may pay to get in. It's how many actually spend anything once inside.

    I say this, and not to be an ass, but (1) i don't go to tanner (or any other) gun shows; and, (2) i don't wear any shirts advertising any belief.

    Of course, many do. But many don't. And, it's funny--you see these shirts at gun stores and they're $25 or $30--no, thanks
