Incentives

• High Traffic: We run gaming events in the center of the Dealers' room to increase traffic. This draws spectators and customers alike.

• High Visibility: the Dealers' room is located in the spacious Grand Hall, a large room that is readily visible from the main entrance of the Student Center.

Booths

Tables: Each table is a 30" x 72" rectangle. There will be an approximately 36"-wide gap between adjacent dealer areas.

Wall space: Booths are generally positioned against a wall to facilitate the hanging of banners and advertisements.

Cost: $60 per table for regular registration. Early bird registration reduces this to $55 per table if payment is received by 5:00 PM Friday, November 2, 2001. Dealers receive one free badge per table.

Dressing: A tablecloth will be provided for each table, but skirting must be provided by the dealer if it is so desired.

Advertising

Bags: Attending dealers will be given the first opportunity to provide bags for the convention with their store logos on it. Such bags should be about 15" x 15", made of sturdy plastic, and have a handhold or handles. There is no fee for this service; however, the dealer is expected to cover the cost of the bags. Bags that meet the prerequisites will be given priority over those that do not. If you would like to secure exclusive rights to have your bags be the only bags distributed at the convention, please contact the Dealer Coordinator.

Inserts: We are considering having advertising inserts for the convention bags. An interested dealer would provide the insert material in the form of a single item no larger than a contemporary magazine, and for a flat fee of $90, the insert will be included in every bag handed out to convention attendees when they register. Insert requests should be addressed by contacting the Dealer Coordinator.

Program advertisement rates: The most direct way to get your advertisement in the hands of our customers. Our programs are printed on high quality 70-pound paper stock and provided to all attendees of OwlCon 2k2. All advertisements are B/W.

Please include 0.125 bleed past trim for all ads, and make your check or money order payable to: FAST WARP.

Deadline: Ad copy and payment will need to be provided to us by 5:00 PM Friday, January 4, 2002.

Specific advertising requests should be addressed by contacting the Dealer Coordinator. If you plan to be a dealer at OwlCon 2k2, the Dealer Booth Request Form below will address this topic as well.
