My Tank Thread
I'm not sure what the problem is. Aquashella had probably over 5000+ in attendance but probably 75 to 80% of those are freshwater/reptile only people. We have some freshwater shows and those are very well attended. They have actually grown into a 2 day event. Other than the fact we are probably having too many shows, we also have a few big garage sellers that seem to sell a ton. There is one that posts almost weekly showing the 20+ boxes he is shipping out that week.
Not sure on the advertising part. The shows show up constantly on facebook for me in all the large reefing groups for the area. Of course I don't know if it is showing up for everyone or just me based on the fact I only look at reefing stuff on facebook.
The show I help with combined 3-4 small show names that were scheduled a few times a year. So we didn't just add to the schedule, we consolidated. But it is saltwater, freshwater, and reptiles.
