I have a tradeshow coming up at the end of this week to sell my prints. I am wondering if anyone does tradeshows to sells prints? I'd love to see the ideas you've come up with. Mine is pretty simple.

Any tips?

I've never done it, but I'm interested to hear how it goes. Good Luck! :)

Display stands are a really good idea, like the special canvas fold out ones. . Lots of marketing materials such as business cards and brochures. Bring small stuff, that people can pick up and take away with them but have a couple of easels showing off your larger prints. Try to try to collect a media kit from the organizers or an exhibition plan to see how and what the organization is.

Power is in your presentation.

Consider bringing a flatscreen or a monitor for people to navigate your website on.

I have done 2 and learned a lot the hard way, but the chief piece of advice I can give you is - have a plan. Get the layout so you can position yourself accurately.
