Avoid BIG mistake #1 :

Given the tremendous expense most brands endure to exhibit at a trade show, build a booth and ensure proper signage, promotional materials and selling materials, a brand often mistakenly thinks that internal office staff can handle a trade show. Why should brands hire local talent that excel at trade shows, and not fly in their office staff?

1. Local talent are often less expensive than hosting an office employee’s travel, accommodations and meals for all days of a show.
2. Trade shows are not as glamorous as one expects and can be extremely hard on an individual’s physical and mental needs. The floors are most often always concrete, and generally uneven. If your office employee is used to sitting all day, their body, and especially their back, will start to hurt after a couple hours. Contract a local Trade Show Model that is used to these elements, can stand in heels and keep a genuine smile on their face for 8+ hours a day. Some trade shows can last as long as 16 hours, and up to 14 days in a row. The Kat Agency trade show hostesses are experts at working long days, and being on point the whole time.

Avoid BIG mistake #2:

Not having a point of contact onsight 48 hours prior to trade show start. A lot of brands will spend 6+ months planning trade shows, and then have everyone come in the day before the trade show starts. Considering most trade shows have 1,000+ exhibitors, this can be an incredibly stressful time. There are always unexpected things that come up. Having a production assistant who also doubles as a trade show booth hostess can save your sanity, and your brand. It can be the 1 hour registration line you didn’t anticipate, the limited food options, the extra passes you need, the water you want at your booth, or simply needing an extra pen. Extra capable, and on brand talent are a big help. Work with The Kat Agency and we will ensure you have proper organization, and will assist with branding this trade show asset.
