• In the Online Forms section you will find the ‘To Do List’ which enables you to see which services are available to you – when you click on the task you will see this has a link to an order form or to an ordering service.  You can make notes on each task and save them.  Please keep the status of each task up-to-date as this will be viewed by the organiser.

It is important to start thinking about your products and how you are going to display them on the stand. Here are some top tips you should be thinking about now:

DO:

• Treat your stand as your shop window.

• Display well and give the consumer a reason to stop and capture the product you are retailing.

• Here’s an incentive- awards will be given at the show for shell scheme and space.

• Merchandise and brand your stand creatively.

• Offer something that the consumer would not be able to purchase on the high street.

• Have skilled personnel on your stand that have excellent knowledge of your product.

• Data capture from your stand.

DON’T:

• Hand-write price tags.

• This will not represent your brand or your product properly and will make the exhibition look untidy.

• Bring railings that don’t fit within your shell scheme dimensions.

• Check with the operations team if you are unsure of what they need to be.

• Cover your facial sign.

• Have products in the aisle.

• Keep the area around your stand clear.

• Hand out leaflets or promotion material in the aisles.

• This must be done from your stand.

• Use microphones on your stand for selling a product.

• Microphones may be used for Hair and Beauty demonstrations, however permission must be granted from the operations team.

• Retail ranges different to those stated on your contract.
