Customer Service
Having friendly and polite staff with good customer service is a must have if you want to draw people onto your exhibition stand. When promoting your product or services, it is vital to have staff that are knowledgeable about the product/service and staff that have a happy and positive vibe as this will make a good impression for your company. If you have rude and unhappy staff on your stand, it will put members of the public off coming onto your stand. It will also give your company a bad first impression.
