	SBA - Marketing \| Trade Shows
		Trade shows are designed to let entrepreneurs meet many potential customers face-to-face in a brief period of time inexpensively.
		Trade shows help level the playing field for smaller firms, since booth space is generally inexpensive ($13 per square foot on average, with the typical small booth covering 100 square feet), and even small companies can usually afford attractive displays.
		The Trade Show Bureau claims that the average total cost of closing a sale in the field is $1,080, while the cost of closing a sale to a qualified trade show prospect is $419.
