Here’s What Our Facebook Fans Have to Say
Cindy Hartigan: “Leave the building for lunch. A time-out is important.”
Darlene Tenes: “Bring a hands-free purse, cards and a pen, light sweater and comfortable shoes.”
Cara Rybarik: “Bring labels for shipping and billing.”
Caity Olenowski: “If possible, spend one full day walking the show looking for trends and jotting down notes before going back and writing with vendors.”
Sandy Tanner: “Leave room in your suitcase for bringing back more than you take – brochures, free samples and some shows have cash-and-carry areas.”
Mari Levell: “Resist the urge to take a friend or family member to the show. Though you may think it will be fun to share the “glamourous” side of your job, you are better off taking a staff member who knows your business.”
Cynthia Hernandez: “Leave the show a bit before closing to avoid the long lines for shuttles and taxis.”
Kendall Thompson: “Follow up with everyone you meet at the show within two weeks. Join them on social media or LinkedIn or email them a ‘nice to meet you’ note.”
