Exhibition booth checklist for manufacturers
Manufacturers have more to get right than most exhibitors, because real products mean real logistics. This checklist covers the things that actually sink stands.
Work through it early - most items have long lead times, especially if you're shipping from abroad.
Products & demos
Confirm what ships, how it clears customs, what runs live, and what power and safety it needs. Plan a fabricated fallback for anything at risk.
Logistics & timing
Build the schedule backwards from move-in. Freight, customs, install and testing all need buffer.
The stand
Lock concept, layout, 3D and finish early. Confirm venue rules on rigging, height and electrical.
Staffing & training
Brief your stand team on the goal, the demo and the capture process before day one.
Lead capture
Set up scanning and a pipeline before the show, not during it. Decide your tagging and follow-up rules in advance.
Follow-up
Agree who works hot leads, how fast, and where they're tracked - before you fly home.
Good to know
Frequently asked questions
When should we start preparing?
As soon as your space is confirmed. Manufacturer stands have the longest lead times because of logistics.
What's the most common mistake?
Leaving lead capture and follow-up until the show - by then the warmest leads are already cooling.
Capture & pipeline
A booth is only worth what you do with the leads.
The most expensive mistake at any show is a stack of visiting cards that never gets worked. We design the capture into the stand.
Visiting card to worked pipeline, without the spreadsheet graveyard
