Trade Show Supply Kit
Can Save the Day

A well-stocked trade show supply kit is as crucial to your success as a well-designed exhibit. Your staff’s focus should be on potential customers, not scrambling to find office supplies, electrical accessories, or other materials if they suddenly run out or break down.

A well-prepared supply kit should include the following:

  • A display repair kit, including common tools such as a screwdriver, hammer, and wrench.
  • Extension cords, power strips, and spare lightbulbs (if your exhibit has lighting fixtures).
  • Ample number of lead forms and business cards
  • Appointment book
  • Exhibit cleaning supplies, including paper towels and glass cleaner
  • Personal hygiene items, such as breath mints and hand cleaner
  • A first aid kit, including pain relievers and antacids
  • Office supplies, such as pens, pencils, folders, staplers, box cutters, highlighters, scissors, and tape
  • Experienced exhibit staff can suggest other important items to include in your trade show kit based on their own experiences.

    While it may take a few minutes to collect all of these items and get them ready for shipment, it could “save the day” should a problem occur at the show. And that could make or break your ability to achieve your objectives.
