I have a client who owns a catering restaurant - has seven rooms that
can accomodate up to 300 people. He has customers who hold seminars to
sell their products and services.  Attendees are given a free lunch or
dinner and then they have to listen to the presentation.  Many of the
customers sell financial servies like estate planning. I'm writing an
article to get my client more customers (seminar holders) Can you get
me some figures $$ on products and services sold via seminars in the
US? Would like the top 5 - 10 categoris ie financial services and the
dollar amounts for each.

I just wanted to add a quick comment.  I?ve been to several product
type sales seminars where food was served as a lead in.  Two products
that were sold come to mind and could possibly be areas where you
could market.

·	Fire Alarm Sales (residential fire alarms for homes)
·	Web Hosting Services

Both of these seemed to be very successful for the seminar holder.

Hope this helps
