Use of Space
◻ The most common vendor area at a trade show or festival is a 10 foot by 10 foot area.
◻ There are many tips and tricks to maximize your space, without making it look crowded
How Much Product Should I Display?
◻ Leave a 3” to 4” space between the edge of your table closest to the customer and the product
◻ This is to help avoid bumping products off your table
◻ Never put product past the notch in the hook!
◻ Items easily fall off hooks once they have passed the notch

◻This also allows your customers to see more of your product from a farther distance
Cheap Ways to Create Levels
◻ Stacking Crates⬜Can be bought at
most craft stores or made from pallets
◻ Covered Boxes
Color Scheme
