How to Find A Buyer

The best place to start sourcing a potential purchaser is to network with colleagues and let them know your booth is for sale. Placing classified advertising in exhibit industry and marketing publications, area newspapers, and business journals may help locate a buyer for you.

Your area chamber of commerce may also serve as a source of prospect referrals. If your used exhibit is in good-to-excellent condition, contact some exhibit display firms and see if they are interested in buying your booth to use for rental purposes.

Another option to consider is listing your used exhibit on eBay and/or other auction sites that bring buyers and sellers together.

What If You Can’t Sell Your Exhibit?

If all else fails, discard your used trade show exhibit appropriately and move on to greater priorities.
