Trade show flooring may seem like a lowly part of your exhibit. But although it's not glamorous and probably doesn't make or break your sales, it does make a definite impact on the ergonomics of your booth. To make your booth flooring comfortable, be sure to order a pad for it. Some exhibitors skimp on the pad, but for booth staffers who will be standing on it for hours on end, an adequate carpet pad can prevent a great deal of fatigue and discomfort. The expo's management may require that all vendors rent carpet from them. Unfortunately, it's usually very overpriced, and of low quality - the thinnest possible barrier between your feet and the floor. If at all possible, don't rent your flooring from the show's management. Instead, bring your own carpet with a middle-of-the-line padding for it. Or if shipping the carpet is difficult or too expensive, arrange in advance to rent or purchase carpet from a supplier in the same city as the expo. This local source is likely to be your best deal for getting adequate quality trade show booth flooring for at the lowest price. Don't overdo the padding under your carpet - a floor that's too thick and soft underfoot is difficult to walk on and can tire out booth staffers faster than standing on no padding at all.
