Your Gun Show Already Has the Crowd.
Let Us Turn It Into Cash.
Every vendor space we fill puts money directly in your pocket. No risk. No investment. No work. Here is what a typical event generates for gun show organizers based on real vendor counts.
Based on $39 vendor fee — you receive $20 per vendor. No caps. No limits. The more vendors, the more you earn.
The Most Successful Gun Shows Add an Outdoor
Pop Up Tent Event — We Can Provide It.
Gun show crowds are one of the most loyal and enthusiastic event audiences in Texas — and they arrive ready to browse, buy, and spend time. Adding a Pop Up Tent Event to your parking lot gives your attendees more to do outside while they wait to get in or after they exit. More vendors means more social media posts promoting your gun show to thousands of followers before the event even starts. Pop Up Tent Events handles the entire operation — tents, tables, vendors, marketing, insurance, setup, and breakdown. You provide the parking lot space. We split vendor booth fees 50/50 with you. Your show gets bigger. Your reputation grows. And you put up to $2,080 or more in your pocket on the same day.
How the 50/50 Partnership Works
From your first call to your first check — here is exactly how the partnership works at every gun show event.
You Say Yes & Pick a Date
One phone call or form submission is all it takes. You tell us your gun show date, location, and approximate attendance. We give you a revenue estimate within 24 hours. Zero paperwork, zero commitments upfront.
We Handle Every Single Thing
We recruit vendors, collect their fees, provide all tents, tables, and chairs, carry our own event insurance, run all marketing across Facebook and social media, manage vendor check-in and day-of operations, and handle complete breakdown. Your staff does nothing.
We Hand You Your Check
At the end of the event we tally all vendor fees collected and hand you 50% on the spot. No waiting, no invoicing, no chasing anyone down. You made money on space that would have been sitting empty between your car displays.
We Build the Crowd That Shows Up
Before your event every vendor posts your gun show — the name, location, and date — on their Facebook and social media, inviting their own customers to attend. Up to 104 vendors promoting to their combined social media audiences means your show reaches tens of thousands of people who never saw your flyer. And when you advertise "Gun Show + Pop Up Tent Event" you attract two audiences at once — gun enthusiasts and shoppers — for one event.
Option: Pop Up Tent Event
We set up a fully equipped outdoor Pop Up Tent Event alongside your gun show — professional 10x10 pop up canopy tents, tables, and chairs all provided. Vendors pay $39 per space. You receive $20 per vendor. We handle all recruiting, marketing, setup, and breakdown. Your gun show gets a complete curated outdoor market with zero effort on your part. We sell 52 spaces and you earn $1,040 in a single day.
Option: Outdoor Swap Meet
A swap meet is a space-only model — vendors bring their own setup and sell outdoor gear, military surplus, knives, holsters, tactical equipment, collectibles, and accessories. No tents required from us. Lower barrier to entry means more vendors, faster fill, and a crowd that specifically loves the firearms and outdoor lifestyle. We can run both a Pop Up Tent Event and a Swap Meet simultaneously at your show. We sell 52 Pop Up Tent spaces and 52 Swap Meet spaces and you earn $2,080 in a single day.
Everything Included.
Zero Cost to You.
This is not a partial service. We arrive with everything needed to run a complete professional Pop Up Tent Event at your gun show — and we take it all away when the event ends.
Professional Pop-Up Tents
White 10x10 professional canopy tents for every vendor space. Uniform, clean, professional look that elevates your show's image and keeps vendors protected from Texas sun.
Tables & Chairs Included
Every vendor space includes a folding table and chairs. Vendors show up and sell. No hauling equipment. No setup stress. Your parking lot transforms in hours.
Full Event Insurance
We carry our own event liability insurance covering the Pop Up Tent Event operation. You face zero liability exposure from the vendor market side of your show. Fully documented and available upon request.
20 or More Screened Vendors
We recruit and vet every vendor — outdoor gear, apparel, tactical accessories, knives, holsters, food, hats, patches, and collectibles. Quality sellers who complement your gun show crowd and drive genuine sales activity. No upper limit on vendor count.
Full Event Marketing
Facebook events, community group posts, bandit sign campaigns, and email marketing all drive additional attendees to your show. Every vendor also markets your gun show event to their own followers — reaching hunting, outdoor, and firearms communities across the Houston metro.
Complete Day-Of Management
Our team handles all vendor check-in, space assignments, layout management, and shopper questions from open to close. Your gun show staff never interacts with a single vendor. We are a self-contained operation inside your event.
Full Setup & Breakdown
We arrive before your show opens, set up the complete Pop Up Tent Event, operate all day, break down everything, and leave your parking lot exactly as we found it. Zero mess, zero hassle, zero remnants.
50/50 Cash Split on Event Day
All vendor fees are collected in advance before the event. On event day we hand you 50% of the total vendor fees collected — paid by cash, Zelle, or Cash App, your choice. No invoices, no net-30, no waiting. Your money on the same day of the show.
Gun Show Crowds Are the
Perfect Vendor Audience.
Gun show crowds are some of the most dedicated, cash-carrying event-goers in Texas. They drive hours to attend. They arrive early and stay late. They buy merchandise, outdoor gear, apparel, food, and accessories. An outdoor Pop Up Tent Event in your parking lot gives attendees more to browse before they walk inside and after they walk out — and every vendor promotes your gun show to their own audience before the event. Your revenue from vendor booth fees is the bonus — the real win is a stronger, bigger show.

52 Vendors = 52 Social Media Promoters for Your Gun Show
Before your event every vendor posts your gun show on their Facebook, Instagram, and social media — the event name, location, and date — inviting their own customers and followers to come. 52 vendors reaching their combined audiences means your show gets seen by tens of thousands of people at zero cost to you. When you advertise "Gun Show + Outdoor Pop Up Tent Event" you attract gun enthusiasts AND general shoppers — two audiences with one event.
-
Bigger Attendance, Longer Lines
When there is a Pop Up Tent Event in the parking lot, attendees arrive earlier and stay longer. They browse the outdoor vendors while they wait to get inside. Families come together — the spouse who doesn't want to go inside has something to do outside. Your headcount and dwell time both go up significantly.
-
Stronger Show. Bigger Reputation.
Shows that offer more become the shows people talk about, share on social media, and mark on their calendar every year. Adding an outdoor Pop Up Tent Event is one of the fastest ways to elevate your gun show's reputation and grow year over year attendance.

You Earn $20 Per Vendor — Period
Your revenue comes from the booth fees vendors pay to have a space — $20 per vendor goes directly to you. You do not share in what vendors sell at their tables and you do not need to. The booth fees alone generate up to $2,080 or more per event with zero investment on your part.
Our show went from a car-only crowd to a full community event. Vendors brought their customers, shoppers started coming just for the market, and our gun show attendance grew 30% in one season.
