What we have found is that the brides are typically in a 'hurry' to get all their booths stamped before they can be entered into a drawing (for stopping by all the booths).

Find some way to slow them down.

Think of some buzz words to capture their attention - as wedding is on the brain.....jewelry for the bride, bridesmaids, mothers, etc...

You will get the list of all the names. However, you may want to find a way to do something that you can capture names that seem more 'interested' then just getting a list.
First, that takes a lot of time calling everyone. Secondly, not everyone on the show list will be interested in all products at the show.

I typically have my own sign-up and use that. I don't do drawings either as I generate a lot of names looking for freebies instead.

It sounds like you are focused. If you haven't thought about it, yo may wnat to write 2-3 goals and then ways to help you achieve those goals. If it is like most bridal shows, they are fast and furious. So, stay focused on those 2-3 goals...is it is to share with them how to make money for their wedding, gifts, host, etc? You get the idea.

Good Luck!!
I am also looking to branch more in Ohio as my brother and wife live outside of Dayton, Ohio area and looking for events.
