Don't know if this counts as finance but really want to dress my stalls up when I go to small/larger scale events and was wondering about a cost effective way of doing so. Of course I want people to know the name of my business so a banner seems like an option and I don't want it to look tacky against the bigger names that everybody's heard of. Anybody had any experience in dressing a stall to a high standard without it costing the earth? By the way my stall is to do with crafts! :)

How does your stall look now? Do you have a picture you could share. I'm trying to picture in my head what it looks like now to help think of ways to dress it up. I would think if it's all about crafts, the crafts themselves could go a long way toward dressing up the stall. What kind of a look are you wanting?

Unfortunately I don't have a picture to hand but I was wondering about cheap ways to make my stall look professional - although that may not be too easy!!! Such as banners and tableclothes :confused:

In the past, I have used draped fabric in the background to separate my area from others. A banner does sound like a good idea and you can buy them online these days. You can search and shop for a deal. I believe having these made would be better than trying to do it yourself. It looks much more professional.

Hope this helps!

Draped fabric over boxes is one of the easiest ways to dress things up.

Or if you're going to do a lot of set up/take down you may consider covering wooden boxes with the fabric instead of constantly having to fiddle with the fabric draping...or do a combo of covered boxes and draping. Levels add so much visual appeal to a display table.

Adding little mirrors under key pieces or using a strand of strategically placed white christmas lights are ways to highlight special pieces without too much fuss or expense.

When I've done displays they usually have a television set running a promotional video that's been put together...but none of them have really been craft displays.

We've used slat grid to create booths before. It's not that expensive, it provides a good framework for the booth and you can hang things on it.

We get ours here (http://www.achievedisplay.com/).

Why not attend several similar events and look at what others are doing? Ask them how they do it - some will talk to you. Then, find a cheaper way to recreate those things that you liked and continue to improve it until you get it perfect.
