1. Be prepared - Planning for the travel, load in, set up, and tear down is a big part of success. Be sure to know the dimensions of your booth. Measure that space at home and set up your booth and tables inside that space. This will help you know how much product to bring.

2. Make your displays pop! It is said: "You never have a second chance to make a first impression." Does this event require that you bring your own table or are they provided by the venue? Always have a tablecloth. Use varying heights and colors in your display.

3. Be friendly - You never know who could be your next customer. Don't hide behind your displays playing on your phone all day. Greet each customer as they browse. Talk to the vendors around you. Networking with other vendors is a big part of a successful event.

4. Help advertise the event- You may think this is the job of the coordinator, but if each vendor would advertise once on their social media sites and business pages many more people could be reached. All of our events have event pages where the vendors can advertise for free. Use this to attract potential customers before and after the event.

5. Make paying easy for customers- Be prepared to accept many forms of payment. Cash and carry items are always great but not everyone carries cash. Other avenues of payment might be the Square, PayPal, or checks. Always have prices on your items. Make sure you have a variety of price ranges.

 

Regardless if this is your first for fiftyith show, your presentation space is your first impression on your customers.
