How to Navigate the Cottage Life Show!
The Cottage Life Show is THE show for cottagers. It has over 600 exhibitors showing boats, docks, builders, contractors, innovative building products, green solutions, decor and style, arts and crafts, food and entertaining, water toys and more. This year Lakeside will not be exhibiting but I thought I would share some of my tips and tricks to get the most out of the Fall Cottage Life Show.
Be Prepared!
To get the most out of the Cottage Life Show it is important to first establish why you are attending in the first place and then establish a strategy for getting the information or products you are interested in before the Show.
I suggest that you research the Show and get to know the exhibitors; discover what seminars are scheduled and what products are being offered.
Set appointments
If necessary, set appointments as early as possible to make sure you won’t miss the chance to talk with all the exhibitors you want. Once you’ve set the appointments, you can plan the entire day accordingly. Of course, you can set appointments at the Show, but if possible, make all the arrangements before the Show.
Get a map
Get a map of the Show. Use the map so that you can prioritize your route without wasting precious time searching for a certain booth – this can be really exhausting.
Attend the Main Stage Presentations and the Workshops
The Cottage Life Show is a great opportunity to learn new things as they are packed with seminars, workshops, Q&A sessions.
Extra tips:
-Wear comfortable clothes and shoes.
-Bring your cottage information.
-Bring a bag to carry all your new information. There are many pamphlets and brochures available.
-Bring cheques and credit cards for deposits for any Cottage Life Show specials.
-Most of all have fun – yes, enjoy yourself!
Enjoy the Show!
James.
