Last Stop for One Stop Prom Shop

March 3rd, 2013, from 11a.m. to 3p.m., occurred one of the most successful marketing events that I will every be a part of. The One Stop Prom Shop was a trade show that brought all the services and shops you would need to have an awesome prom. The show took 6 months of prep which included booking vendors, to orchestrating the assembly to capture an audience. This was all done by juniors and seniors in marketing education at Cuyahoga Falls High School.

When it came down to the week before the show, everyone was scrambling to get the last minute prints and last logistic details to put on a successful show. By Saturday afternoon, all the setup and materials were done.

We had 60 vendors at the show with American Commodore as the title sponsor. At the show we had a fashion show, American Commodore Dancers, and the Morph Dance throughout the event. Along with 60 raffle items, which included a $500 VISA Gift Card, and a fully paid prom for 2. There were a lot of people right off the bat. In fact, our counters gave up keeping track after the first 20 minutes. There was new casts and even a visit from the Mayor of Cuyahoga Falls, Don Robart. As the event was calming down, I took a time to reflect on what it took to get to where we were at now.
