I'm thinking of splitting a booth my cousin (she sells bibs and blankets). What size booth would be good? 8x8, 8x10, or 10x10?

I thought it would be good to split a booth. We might be able to pull different kinds of customers in.
 
I would go with a 10x10. You'll be surprised how fast you guys fill that up!! A 10x10 is about the size of those pop-up canopy tents.If you are sharing- I'd recommend you each having one long table (or two small end to end) and put it along the SIDE of the booth...so you can have your stuff on each side. Then maybe have a smaller one at the back of the booth for you (put your tables in an L shape), and then your cousin has room for a rack or something to hang her stuff? But whatever you decide- I'd lay it out in your living room or garage or something- set up the tables, put your our stuff (both of you), so you don't end up messing with it at the time of setup.

Thanks Bobbi!
 
Check with the venue and make sure it's ok to share a booth! A lot of venues don't allow two different vendors to share one booth.
 
Has she ever set up a booth display before?
I have 2 pvc poles concreted into decorative paint cans
the poles have holes drilled in with clothesline strung between them and knotted, I stretch them out and hang my bibs and burp rags gives me a unique way to display is easy to transport and I have table space
 

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the ideal booth size for two vendors splitting space at an event?

The ideal booth size for two vendors splitting space typically ranges from 10x10 feet to 10x20 feet. This allows each vendor to have enough room to display their products while also providing space for customers to move around comfortably.

How should we divide the booth space between two vendors?

When dividing the booth space, it's best to create a clear boundary, such as a table or display that separates each vendor's area. Each vendor should have designated space for their products, marketing materials, and any necessary equipment.

Can we share equipment and displays to save space?

Yes, sharing equipment and displays can be an effective way to save space. For example, vendors can share a table or use a single backdrop that features both brands. Just ensure that each vendor's products are clearly identifiable to avoid confusion for customers.

What are some tips for effectively collaborating in a shared booth space?

Effective collaboration involves clear communication and planning ahead. Discuss your product displays, marketing strategies, and customer engagement techniques before the event. Also, consider coordinating your schedules for staffing the booth to ensure that both vendors are present during peak times.

Are there any additional costs associated with splitting a booth space?

Yes, there may be additional costs when splitting a booth space, such as shared rental fees, utilities, and promotional materials. It's important to discuss and agree on how these costs will be divided beforehand to avoid any misunderstandings during the event.
