Xbiz LA 2011 Day 3 (Final Day)

The last day of the show was quite possibly the worst. Unfortunately, in terms of business, it seems as though the success of this show was very slim in that it received very little traffic, the exhibitors were few, and the participants seemed even more scarce. I could tell that, on the whole, many exhibitors were very disappointed with the show’s turn out. Some even packed up and moved their booths out early. And still, although the show was not nearly as busy or promising as it should have been for business, some exhibitors still managed to garner interest among the few participants. With great booths from El Dorado, Rene Rofe & Hustler and a very unique line of toys released from TSX Toys, the show was interesting to behold. All in all, I found this show to be very enjoyable, somewhat beneficial in terms of business, but very very slow. This show was almost dead with the amount of activity it had received. I don’t know if it was due to timing (close to V-Day), the small size of the show compared to other large shows such as AVN & Storerotica, or the general lack of actual business participants (there seemed to be a lot of press and performers). Some booth sales people were also very unhelpful and impolite, most notably at the Honey’s Place & Nasstoys booth. Perhaps morale was low due to their lack of traffic?

That being said, it was still an okay show, though I doubt many will repeat after such a terrible turnaround, and I enjoyed seeing the likes of TSX Toys, El Dorado, Rene Rofe Lingerie, & Hustler on hand with great booths and helpful staff. Will I return to this show again next year? Unlikely, but stay tuned this year for other shows I might attend in 2011.
