"I wish her luck. It will be very difficult to have decent sales with the requirements that must be followed. Having to have people wait outside of the booth until they can come in will cause several potential buyers to simply walk on by, especially…"
Larry Berman replied to Dave Grabarczyk's discussion Is it better to apply earlier or later to a show using Zapp?
