If you cannot acquire a guest pass, ask another vendor to allow you to work in his or her booth as a volunteer. Find out about booth restrictions, including size and furnishings. You will need to know the dimensions of the booth in order to plan effectively. Ask organizers and promoters whether there are maximum and minimum height restrictions for shelves and fixtures. Ask whether tables, chairs, and partitions will be provided.
Fairs often provide tables and curtains or other partitions with registration.
At many trade shows you will have to rent furnishings from a source approved by the promoter. The expenses must be planned in your budget. Plan a booth that shows your products in the best light. Remember to display enough merchandise to make the booth look interesting. At the same time, avoid the appearance of clutter and disorganization.
