Front-End Planning Saves Headaches Later

Spend quality time mapping all your shows for the year including target and ship dates using a day planner, colored highlighters and a software-based calendar program. A little time spent once will save you hours of frustration later. Also, use entrance and exit surveys for booth staff to help avoid downtime for repairs. Have your staff fax the survey back at the end of the show and you'll be ready to attend to broken lights, damaged samples or torn graphics before the booth arrives.
