Nah not a false perception.. typically there is show exclusive deals that are to attract people to attend the showIs the purpose of the show not to expose end users to the latest technology and models as well as attend seminars. There seems to be this false perception that its a retail show in order to get "deals" at. After the cost of the show, putting employees up in hotels I trust retailers are not interested in dropping margin. They can do that on a web site without all the hassell.
its all you said plus the deals i remember my dad and uncles coming out with 3 new boats motors and trailers rods bait but that was 55 plus years ago.Is the purpose of the show not to expose end users to the latest technology and models as well as attend seminars.

More people attend the show more exposure your product gets..
more exposure equals more sales
More sales equals more money..
No where in that equation is there dropping margins and a net loss to have a booth at a show.. otherwise the idea would of died long ago and they would not exist
do you need it explained any better?
Both the toronto fishing show and sportmans shows have been duds for years and years IMHO. The Future is a combination of fishing swaps and shows like the one at woodstock 2 weeks ago, the ancaster hamilton bassmasters swap this past sunday and the greatest of all the up coming Cancast fishing show and swap April 7th in Peterborough. Plus the other 6-8 smaller swaps that are popping up all over the place now. Just my 2 cents
@GPS lve been to that show a couple of times and it is good. Last time I was there I bought an optic red dot scope for my hi power pellet gun and had a visit with Timber Wolf Lodge owners where I went to help out.Take a trip to the Ultimate Fishing Show in Novi Michigan next Jan. We’ve been 6 years (except during Covid) and never disappointed
I hope it was one of these.Our lab just had a litter of pups and the male we bred her with was competing yesterday in the retriever trials. I took the afternoon off work and went down to watch. The only money I spent was on a window sticker for the truck and a couple hats for my son at the CCFR booth
