designing your craft show booth


Recommended Posts

any of you have pics???? i am wanting to see different looks or even ideas to make your products stand out. I am wanting to do a show adventually ( when i muster up the courage) and dont want to go decoration overboard. Not sure of some great ideas for displays that work. thanks to all who want to respond.

You'll have to excuse my outdoor photo though, This was 2 days after I got out of the hospital for back spasms. Did not have half of my stock, no decenttablecloths, and no banner. But it is an idea.

OK...I did a "pre-setup" in my basement last year before I had to actually go to the show and am attaching the pics. It made it so much easier to get it how I wanted it, take pics and then print them to take with me. Once I got there...I just went off of my pics to setup. :)

The corner stand was heavy on it's own, plus having so many items on it...it wasn't a problem. :) I didn't worry about it.

I used to have tall shelves very similar to bizzy's. I also used crates. I did get people bumping alot and although nothing ever fell, it did make me nervous. I try not to stack too high because I don't like to talk from behind a shelf either. I like to have ample room to talk "over" the shelf. Of course I am a shortie, so this may not effect the rest of you lol!

My Banner that you see is a 8x4'. It is MEGA huge! I only use it for my indoor shows. For my outdoor shows, due to transportation reasons, I am ordering a new banner that will be more like 4x2'. ;)

Mine are on this page. I got my shelves at Ikea. You buyt he posts and the shelves and I painted it all black. It was a pain to put together, BUT it turned out great. I need to get a bit to fit my cordless scewdriver to make it quicker. My poor BF was sweating. Took me a while to think about this one. I'm thinking of changing this a little bit.

This is an example of what you DON'T want, way to cluttered. Make sure ahead of time the size of tables you will have if they furnish the tables. And just because one year you have one size table doesn't mean you will have the same the next year........that's what happened to me here. I've had some really nice setups, but I just want you to see what happens when you don't have the space that you need for all you have. You can always do a trial run at home, but I say it again, make sure you know what size table they furnish.
