When trying to work within your budget, always consider every item:
- Do I really need an internet connection?
- How many days do I need someone on site to support me?
- Do I have to set (or tear down) the exhibit on Saturday, Sunday or after hours (can I do this on straight time?)?
- Can I reduce my shipment to lower drayage and shipping costs?
- Is renting a booth cheaper than buying one?
- Do I really need to continue to go to this show (that’s a whole other topic).
Look at the list and be prepared to cut or make trades.
