Exhibitor 101: Create a checklist
"You can't be too prepared".
It's a common statement which can never be more true than when planning out a trade show.
Everything can start with a basic logistics checklist:
- INVESTIGATE SHOWS
- BOOK SHOWS
- THEMES AND PROMOTIONS
- TRAVEL PLANS
- STAFF
- BOOTH MODIFICATIONS
- COLLATERAL
- GIVEAWAYS
- INCIDENTALS
- PRE-SHOW PROMOTIONS
- QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
- POST-SHOW PROMOTIONS
- FOLLOW UP PROCESS
Of course, the next step would be to expand each item on the checklist and create a sub-list of detailed steps.
Make sure you have enough time - planning should begin about 12-16 months prior to each show.
