Planning notes
Late-October Christmas shows sell to visitors buying early, so exhibitors usually plan for retail sales on the day rather than trade orders. Price products clearly and decide in advance how you will take card payments and handle gift wrapping on a busy stand.
Our exhibition budget guide lists the costs that consumer exhibitors often forget, such as stock, staffing across four days and travel.
