Baby Expo - worth the money?

Danni have you ever been to one of the baby expos? got a price for both expos during the year and cost for smallest stand are from $2300.
Alot of hires to get before breaking even

No I haven't just because I haven't had time really. I need to go out there first because I think one of the keys is having an awesome stand. You're out there competing with very big brands so you need to really spend some $ getting the stand to look stunning and having plenty of giveaways, specials and staff to help you.
I'm going to visit this year and maybe do it next year. I will probably do that for the year and no magazine ads - that'll be more than half the ad budget but I'd like to give it a go.
I don't think you ever make your money back, its more about exposure and getting your name out there.
People go out there but still google, still read Sydney or Melbs Child, you know, I wouldn't worry about not being there to be honest.
