Marketing your invention or product.

Here's another one of those clever ideas.

Last weekend, the company I work for (Wind Wireless, Inc. - www.windwireless.net) had a display booth at the Fairgrounds during the RV Show.

The guy next to us was selling pain reliever in a spray bottle. You spray it on the spot where it hurts, muscle or joints, back or whatever, rub it with your hand and the pain goes away within 30 seconds.

Wow, I thought, cool!

They were selling a 8 oz bottle for $15.00

I found out what that concoction was that they had in those bottles. It was rubbing alcohol with aloe.

$15.00 for 8 oz of rubbing alcohol.

Well, back to the point...

This was an RV show, but there were people selling rubbing alcohol, us selling wireless internet and a bunch of other people selling all kinds of stuff.

My idea is this, you can rent a booth at one of these shows for around $300 every weekend, no matter what show they have going on. People will come and buy. Just give them a reason.
