TIPS FOR VENDORS
Stand, smile, and engage
The Black Beauty Expo is a trade show which gives the opportunity for you to build relationships within the industry. Stand with a smile to invite people to view your products. Build your reputation by handing out business cards and shaking hands.
Have an open booth design
Avoid obstructing attendees’ view of the products on display. Your goal is to let attendees get close enough to engage with your offerings.
