Has somebody experiences with booths at exhibitions?

Never done it but you may need a tax number.

 

I have done it a few times at Cannabis Cups. First, you have to contact the organizer and arrange for a booth space, choosing location is important... you don't want to be in a far corner away from the entrance or exit.

Second step is designing your space. If outdoors, is a canopy required? Canopies can be super simple, or printed with the company logo or product name, they are no too expensive, and can be used many times if needed at different places. Indoors, a canopy is not necessary. You will need at least a folding table (usually 8 feet) and some folding chairs. Another back table is also helpful, if you are selling product. If you are simply handing out information, you need to have handouts designed and printed. Consider giveaways to get people to your booth. Some thing cheap, even a nicely printed plastic bag for attendees to carry all the stuff given away at shows and fairs.

Also consider some displays! Something large and eye catching behind the table on the back space of the booth or even along the bottom of the table... if indoors it can be a nice folding divider to delineate your space.

Also, and importantly, who will be manning the booth? Have you considered a memorized dialog or rap to use for visitors touting your company, product, or whatever...? Many companies focus on someone attractive and articulate, sometimes hiring someone for that specific time and place...and of course training them to do the job properly.

If that person is you, then get cracking! Prepping for one of these events is not something you can do at the last minute, and you do have to have a budget!!!

Good luck, and if you need more advice, just ask me... I have been there, done that.

And PS, I have never needed a tax ID to do an information display, but selling product directly you may need one, ask the event organizer!
