Back to round two of the interview with Rikki Adams, a guy who works fulltime with conventions and the celebs at them.
This time Rikki has some advice for vendors-
- Make a check sheet of things you need and ask for it before you reserve your spot.
- Don’t forget, things like electrical outlets, WiFi, and tall tables should be requested from the beginning.
- Know how much space you need.
- Don’t monopolize beyond your allotted space. I have seen some set-ups that crossed over onto other spaces, and that’s not fair to them.
- Try to get a look at the layout and pick a spot that has high visibility and traffic.
- In my opinion, some of the best spots are the endcaps. People tend to walk slow in that area because there is more room. Also, you can normally see endcaps from far away.
