โ€Œ๐Ÿ“ธ Share a pic of your booth set up! โ€Œ๐Ÿ“ธ

Let's share what our booth set up looks like when selling our products. Whether you are at a farmer's market, fair, festival, or trade show -- we want to see your set up! 

 

I'd love to get some visual inspiration for how others are making things attractive to draw in new foot traffic and customers. Do you have a lot of shelving and display stands? What should we keep in mind with booth design so it is easy to set up and take down? 

 

Can't wait to see your pics ๐Ÿ“ธ and get some tips!

Festivals and events count too! 

 

Do you have a picture of your booth set up that you could share as inspiration, @GeekInStitches ?

I use gridwalls for all of my artwork and tables for practical items like zipper bags and fabric coasters.IMG_2066.jpgIMG_7323.jpg

This looks awesome. If you don't mind me asking, where'd you purchase your grid walls? And do you like them?

Thanks ๐Ÿ™‚    I've been using them for 5 years.  I have a number of hanging accessories from acrylic sign hanger sizes for pricing and descriptions, peg hooks of various sizes and I use notch hooks to hang artwork.

 

I bought them from Store Supply Warehouse.  Luckily they have a warehouse 4-5 hours away from me in Georgia.  Orders ship fairly quickly

How long does it take you to get everything set up, @GeekInStitches ?

My setup varies based on the event.   For half day events, I don't use all my stands.  I sometimes have 2-4 tables.   An hour is usually enough.

 

For 2 day events, It's a full setup.  That's 8 gridwalls and 3 or 4 tables.  It takes me 2 hours to set that up.

 

I double hang on both sides of the gridwalls most of the time.

This is our new setup we designed for our fairs.  You have 30 seconds to 1 minute to catch peoples attention.  When there is booths set up on each side of you, you have to look the best to draw the people in.  The forst photos is how it looks setup.  The last photos is how we roll in our grid walls and the empty shell. 

this booth is a 20x30.  The back 15 ft is gridwall, the front 15 ft.  we had custom made trusses built. I then went in and added 14 gauge wiring so when the trusses are connected they plug into each and no one sees a mess of wiring hanging.  I also wired in the lights.  We run Edison lights across the whole booth to give it a feeling of having a ceiling.  

We also have 6 TVs, 3 that runs a slide show  of the kids wearing our clothes, customers live to see their kids on TV.  The other 3 displays our name and logo.

That is a mighty setup, @rtfulk! Very true about the amount of time you have to catch someone's attention, though.
