Now that we’ve covered some of the things that you should be doing to both present yourself and your booth well at vendor shows, let’s talk about everyone’s favorite part: what to bring with you! 

I looked up many of these lists before I packed up for my first vendor show, so I know how helpful they can be! But I neglected to research some of the most important tips! I don’t want you to start on the wrong foot, so I shared these utmost important tips and trade secrets with you in my first two blog posts: How to Present Yourself and How to Present Your Booth. 

Here’s some of the things I bring with me to every show:

If you haven't already read "Part 1: How to Present Yourself At Vendor Shows" go ahead and do that! You don't have to, but it's good information if you're going to vendor shows, craft shows, or festivals. 
​

Presentation is everything. 
​


Your booth should look nice! What does nice look like? Uncluttered, themed, and easy to browse. Use neutral colored table cloths that are floor length. Space your products out on your table or rack. Don’t put too much or too little on your table. And read my 5 tips below!

In 2019 I grew my boutique a lot, and that’s almost entirely due to doing in person vendor and craft show events. In fact, from May to December, I did 28 vendor shows. That’s a lot. The year prior I only did two. The year before that I did none. 

To say I learned a lot doing those 28 vendor shows would be an understatement. I kept doing them because they were successful for me. Not every show, but overall show revenue accounted for 82% of my total sales in 2019. I often found that while I was having a good day many of my fellow vendors were having bad days. After the first handful of shows I started to mentally note some of the differences between their booths and mine. From that knowledge, I’ve created a list of some of the reasons that I believe contributed to my success. 
​
Whether your show will be outside, inside, a craft show, a vendor show, a festival, or something in between, if you take my suggestions seriously you’ll have a much better experience.

Here's five tips for putting your best foot forward: How to Present Yourself At Vendor Shows
