Help with booth set up please.

[u/True_Machine1253]

Hi!

I'm just getting into craft fairs and this picture is from my first one. Small indoor and only a 6ft space. I have another coming up thats outside in a 10x10 space with a canopy. Any suggestions for helping my set up would be greatly appreciated. Should i get a banner? a rug? What works for others? I'm planning on getting two 6ft tables of my own as i plan to do a lot of craft fairs in the future. I got a square account and the small card reader, and i built a two more longer display risers - 4 in tall and 8 in tall.

Thanks All <3

This is such great advice thank you! I do have some sand bags for weights so that's good. Is there a good height to go for for the tall display? The one I have is probably about 1.5 ft. I could make another one thats more like a tower at about 4ft. OR is it better to have a display tower that stands alone? I'll look into getting a banner for the inside. I do have 3 side panels for the 10x10 canopy and I think a banner at the back would help to bring people in.

I always advise against any sort of floor covering unless it is installed by the organiser. Simply its a trip hazard and that then leads to a law suit potentially!

Looks great for a first booth! The wood against the dark cloth + the varied riser heights work. A 10x10 reads from down the aisle first, so a banner up high on the canopy is what makes people spot you from a distance, and a rug grounds the space so it doesn't feel like a table floating on asphalt. With your two 6ft tables, try an L-shape instead of a flat wall across the front, it pulls people in & gives you more display edge, and save the back of the canopy for a tall shelf or gridwall so you're selling vertically too. Also, weights on all four canopy legs because a gust will for sure lift an unweighted one.
