Cookware trade show booth design full#

Hopefully the husband will be there to help with the forklift gig. Bonus! Plus, our little corner of the expo had become best friends, so we ended evenings by bringing out coolers and drinking beer in our booths.

I discovered people didnвЂ™t expect to actually meet with the maker of the cookware. The second year had even better results, with bigger accounts. We even knew what we were doing to get a forklift. Year two, I built a smaller booth, took the slant in the garage into factoring the design, and just my husband and myself trekked it to Chicago. And those who run the whole event have been unceasingly supportive of my work and my company. And all the people in the booths around me were incredibly welcoming.

No idea what to tell potential customers.Д«ut it was still exhilarating and I was able to meet so many wonderful people. So you can get the first forklift on the job. SoвЂ¦see you around 1:30pm? But wait in line on the street in your car.

My husband and father-in-law showed up in a pick-up truck full of bins and boards, only to be told that we needed a forklift to move all of it into the center. Showed up at the show, popped my shelves onвЂ¦only to discover they all slanted severely and needed to be re-drilled straight!! The first year I did that, I forgot to account for the fact that the garage is slightly tilted. Every year, I build my booth from scratch in the garage, made of lumber and paint from the local hardware store. This is the third year IвЂ™ll be attending and exhibiting at the IHHA (International Home & Housewares Association) Show, which will be in Chicago at McCormick Place March 2 nd, 3 rd, 4 th, and 5 th.
