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 light bulbs (if your exhibit has lighting fixtures).

  • Ample number of lead forms and business cards.

  • Appointment calendar (traditional or electronic) and phone contact list.

  • 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.
