Trade-show kits

Show booth sample kits and follow-up shortlists that turn corridor chats into launch work.

How it works

Booth kit build and handover

Trade shows waste money when samples dont match a follow-up shortlist. We build kits that become next week's supplier work.

Launch-Ready Catalogue, Office, and Outdoor get sample cards with MOQ and lead-time honesty visitors can photograph.

Follow-ups go out on a calendar, not when someone remembers.

Who it’s for

Teams that book sample packs

  • Teams booking Midrand or Cape Town trade floors.
  • Suppliers who want samples to become shortlists.
  • Sellers testing a wholesale conversation in person.

Starter suppliers on this path: Launch-Ready Catalogue, Office Supplies Bay, Outdoor & Garden Cell.

SA notes

SA expo and venue realities

SA trade shows still run on printed price honesty and quick WhatsApp follow-ups. Kits support both.

Power cuts at venues is real. Keep paper MOQ cards and offline PDFs.

Coastal shows need humidity notes on outdoor and pantry samples sitting under lights.

Prep before the stand opens

  • Read start-narrow-then-scale and trade-show-follow-ups.
  • Print MOQ cards.
  • Schedule 48h follow-ups before the show.
  • Keep offline PDFs.
  • Send the shortlist draft to our contact form after day one.

Failure modes

Where trade-show kits fail

  • Handing samples with no reorder path.
  • Losing leads because follow-up waited two weeks.
  • Showing a price you cant honour next Monday.
  • No paper backup when venue Wi-Fi dies.

Read Start narrow, then scale before you scale. Browse projects, stacks, and resources for matrices you can reuse.

Extra supplier note

What sellers should say at the stand

Corridor chats vanish without a 48 hour follow-up. Hand out photographable MOQ cards, keep paper backups when venue Wi-Fi dies, and turn day-one leads into a shortlist before the flight home. The booth is the easy part, follow-up isnt.

Keep the stand conversation tied to reorder logic, not only visual appeal. If you want those points marked onto your sample cards, send the shortlist through our contact form and note which products drew repeat questions during the event.

Next step

Send booth notes to the desk
