Bapasi had a general Body meeting regarding this Book air on 10Th November 2007.there were hot debates regarding increasing the stall rent & allocation of Prime stalls/4 stalls.
It ended with win win agreement between organiser & members with following conclusions,
- The stall rents will not be raised
- 4 stalls will be in all rows no exclusive prime stall rows
- organisers can increase the stalls numbers
- Bapasi can use the fund allocated for food for advertisements.
at the end organiser claimed they would require more funds , the funds in Proposed Budget may not be sufficient for organising,But still they were happy as the opposition for 4 stalls /Prime stalls if let for vote would have lost & Put organisers in soup.
members felt happy that their rent is not increased their stall rent they were very happy that their major mental block 4 stalls Are the prime stalls are not in separate row .
whats pathetic is even organisers & Participants (members ) never even bothered to think the convenience & benefit of visitors, they never thought of increasing the audience who come as paid visitor/ Pass Visitor.
Every year all the participants & organisers Hype that there is Increased audience & Increased sale. every one knows the fact there is growth ,is that sufficient?
are we taking steps to increase the sale of exhibitors, than organising & just wearing an organiser badge?
as an organiser are we doing Justice to the participants & Visitors ?
as an exhibitor are we doing fair trade practise?
as an exhibitor am i taking steps to increase the walk ins?
as an exhibitor how do i differentiate from others exhibitor?
do we have exclusivity in each stalls are its a big Book market?
What we need to think is y do pavement Book shops make money out side the exhibition venue ?Answer Is simple he is able to convince the Buyer That he offers More things for less ,Also value for Money
if organisers can translate this Book fairs will be Win win to Both Organiser/Exhibitors & Visitors
lets Dream to make it happen at least in 2008
