Trade show stands

A trade show brings buyers, distributors and partners past your stand over a few days. A stand can be well built and busy and still leave the sales team with a list of names nobody remembers a week later. The difference lies in three decisions.

Design for conversations per hour

Ask how many good conversations the stand can hold at once, and what limits that number. A counter that blocks the entrance, a screen that draws a crowd nobody can talk to, or too little standing space all reduce it.

Staff in shifts

Hours of standing and greeting in a busy hall are tiring. Tired staff cluster together and check their phones. Short shifts, a clear role for each person and a place to rest away from the stand keep the team sharp.

Capture what follow-up needs

A name and email are not enough. Agree a few fields that help sales prioritise: what the visitor is interested in, how soon, and what was promised. Then agree who follows up and by when.
