Prepare, prepare, prepare!

Every exhibitor wants to have a successful Fair experience. To make sure that happens, it’s important to prepare as much as possible in advance. The first thing you should do is familiarize yourself with the requirements and guidelines of the Milan Furniture Fair and make sure that your booth meets their standards.

Next, get quotes from suppliers before booking anything so that you can plan and budget accordingly. Make sure to know what kind of products or services you need for your stand before signing contracts — this will influence the cost for logistics and set up!

You should also be prepared for how many people will work on your stand: who will be there during setup and teardown?

Look for ways to save on the budget

The first thing you should do is make sure you’re not spending more than necessary on travel, accommodation and your booth. You can reduce these costs by bringing a smaller team with you and staying in places that are close to the Fair. It’s also important to book your accommodation early, as prices tend to go up closer to the event date.

Another smart way of cutting costs is avoiding hidden costs (insurance, handling of goods, logistics etc.). Make sure you are aware of what is included in every contract you sign and what isn't.

Finally, think about whether or not it really makes sense for your brand’s image and marketing strategy to spend so much money on a big booth at an exhibition like this? Exhibiting space is limited so consider carefully whether investing all this money into what will be just one aspect of your marketing plan will help grow awareness for your brand in the long term – or whether there are other ways for you to get noticed which might actually be more cost-effective!

Enlist professionals to design your booth

To design your booth, you need to find professionals who can help you with the look and feel, layout and overall design of your space. Having professionals design your booth will help create the best possible outcome for both your business and the show itself.

Investing in a professional look will increase engagement with potential clients and improve ROI (return on investment). There are hidden logistics costs that can add up when dealing with vendors directly - having a professional handle these details saves time and money!

If you plan ahead and get organized, you can bring your project to life without breaking the bank!

• Having an idea of where the money is going to come from and how much it costs will help you save time, energy and money.
• Plan as many meetings ahead of time as you can: maximising the connections you make will also help you increase brand awareness and, ultimately, ROI.
• Don't waste your time while you are at the fair! Time is money.
• Use a budgeting tool: This way you can keep track of all expenses while staying within budget at all times.

If you take the time to plan ahead, it’s easy to create a budget that works for your business and helps you achieve your goals. From there, it’s just a matter of getting organized and taking action before the fair begins!
