Recruiting Expo: Limited Turnout Despite Efforts and Expenses

In summary, "Recruiting Expo a Bust" refers to a disappointing recruiting event that fails to attract suitable candidates. This can be a concern for companies and job seekers alike, and may be caused by factors such as poor marketing, a lack of suitable candidates, or competition with other events. To avoid a bust, companies should focus on proper promotion and collaboration, while job seekers can still make the most of their time by networking and following up after the event.

I rented a local community center $125 on a major intersection Saturday, had to buy an insurance policy $80, spent about $70 on ads for 2 different newspapers, and had 150 11 x 17 signs printed on cardstock $100.
There were 6 other vendors besides me that paid me $25 each.
Besides the few friends that came to visit, we had 1 customer.
The temperature outside being around 100 didn't help.
 
ouch! Sorry to hear that.
 
Wow, that's so disappointing...I'm so sorry!
 
Man, I'm so sorry, Bobby.
 
I had one friday night and no one showed - even the people that RSVP'd. I understand, but I'm so sorry all of you guys put forth so much effort (and $$). Hang in there!!
 
Chef Bobby I am so sorry, I know those things are SOOOO disappointing!!

Just to let you know and for everyone else. We have liability insurance through PC.
I once did an event and needed the insurance, every other vendor got something through their home owners I called HO and they faxed me a certificate.

They said that it had to be a million dollar policy. I don't know what PC offers.
