Well… I was off to a good start, but then flat on my face! Sorry for the delay in posting. We have been very busy here at Kitras, mostly deciding on what our new products will be for the summer shows, getting booths ready. There is a lot to do. Sarah Antonio, is our fearless trade show coordinator and she had been busy getting the product ready, finding flights (we have got some great deals!) and now staging all of the booths that we send. We are participating in many shows this summer and we are getting excited.
If you have never participating in a trade show before they are a lot of work, and that is not just work before. It is work before, during and after! Our trade show season is about two times a year. The first on is at the beginning of the year usually running January until March then the second wave of trade show madness begins end of June until Mid September. I don’t know why but the summer shows seems to be so much longer than the winter ones. It is roughly the same about of shows give or take one, but for me the summer shows just seem to drag on and on! Nevertheless we spend a good month before the shows start planning, talking about products, arranging booth spaces. Then building the booths, staging them and putting the final touches on new products… This is the stage we are at now. We just finished our booth and Sarah has picked the products and I have drawn the layout… we will start staging tomorrow!
I will be at almost every show, so I am looking forward to seeing everyone and showing off our great new products… but more about those later!
