Whether you’re prepping for Fancy Foods, Expo West, or the “Un”Trade Show with GF Mercantile, I’ve packed today’s episode with exhibiting tips from my years as a grocery buyer. It’s been a while since trade shows have met face-to-face. It’s possible you haven’t exhibited your line of products in years - if you ever have before at all!
If you’re a trade show first timer or simply out of practice, today’s episode is for you with the top 3 things you need to know for your last-minute trade show plan.
