There is a fair asking for vendors about 60 miles and 2 toll bridges from me. Would you go that far for leads? I'm not sure I want to be driving that far for shows. How far is too far away?
 
It's up to you, really. You can always check with the coordinators on the attendance in past years if this isn't the first year. Also take into consideration the price of the booth. With booths, you just never know what will happen but follow up is the key. It may give you some great leads.
 
The answer to this question ultimately depends on your personal preferences and business goals. Some vendors may be willing to travel long distances for the potential leads and exposure, while others may prefer to stay closer to home. Consider factors such as the cost of gas and tolls, the time it will take to travel, and the potential sales and networking opportunities at the fair. Additionally, think about your target audience and whether they are likely to attend the fair at that location. Ultimately, it is up to you to determine how far is too far for your business.

Additionally, having engaging and friendly staff at your booth can make a positive impression on potential customers.
