Consumer shows can be very beneficial for producers and performers, but they really only work well in LARGE markets. AEE in Vegas during, or overlapping, with CES for example, or the Erotica shows in Los Angeles. Consumers are not going to travel outside their local area to attend.

Shes talking about the invasion styled promos we did the last couple of years into consumer shows.

When we were doing the panels and dragoncon and frolicon to promote existing and new sites. Worked out quite well.
