Considering exhibiting at an event? Ask the hard questions. 🙋♀️
Sure, you could go with the flow, ride the “yes” wave, and let a fun idea run away with your budget. But let’s stamp out that pick-me energy right here and now. Know your worth. Know your goals. Get all the answers before committing to a doggone thing, even if it means ruffling a few feathers.
👉 Internally: Build clarity and consensus now. Celebrate later.
As much as we’d love to skip ahead to toasting the massive deals you might be able to land at a glamorous show in an exotic location, real talk has got to come first. Because the only thing worse than a wet blanket is thousands of wasted dollars with nothing to show for it.
👉 Externally: Make ‘em work for it.
Event reps want to sell you space. You won’t scare them off by asking the hard questions, so raise the bar and make them earn your business as an exhibitor. Your brand will thank you. Ask these questions to stay safe from the swindle and get your money’s worth every time.
