Oregon Gun Shows ... Decline ... Subjective ...
The maximum revenue sweet spot is fine but you do need to include everything necessary to make that determination. Everything. The most important thing small business owners forget is their time. How much? How much time to add to the revenue equation?
Quality of time, if any. It is easy to suddenly, (or slowly) realize your free time becomes less and less as all available time is invested into the business attempting to establish that sweet spot total revenue. And maximum revenue does not establish maximum profit.
Just saying.
Gun shows in Oregon are slowly dying. I for one am surprised that we still have any. The Grants Pass Oregon Gun Show used to be a busy noisy fun event to attend. 250 tables? Every available space in that probably too small hall was taken up. Narrow aisles.
Two bucks to get in. Lots of free parking. Josephine County Fairgrounds. Live background music. A good PA system asking for product and services. Now the Grants Pass show is practically dead. Seven bucks to get in. Probably only 150 tables. Wide aisles.
Yep ... the main complaint the gun sellers have is the so call instant check which is not. Is the Oregon State Police purposely choking down the gun shows with slow back ground checks? I have seen checks take 60 minutes. At about 10 minutes the sale fails.
