TIP: Table linens that cover to the floor are essentials! When visitors see a messy booth exposing storage containers and other debris — they just keep walking on by. VISUAL IMPACT = MORE SALES!


AFTER HOURS PRODUCT PROTECTION

Although our show management and Westerner Park personnel will ensure the facility is locked Friday and Saturday evening, theft can happen from cleaning staff, other exhibitors, etc.

Make sure you do not leave any electronics, cash or other tempting valuables — and bring extra draping to cover your products and/or close off your booth entrance.
