How Do You Apply to Become an Exhibitor?

Businesses can exhibit at any of the events that take place in Essex over the year by  applying online. Main Event have over 20 years’ experience working in the wedding industry and hosting shows, and therefore ensure that stand numbers are limited in each category to give exhibitors the best opportunity.

How to Prepare for a Successful Event

Main Event wedding shows are some of the finest in the county and take place in some of the most sought-after venues. To make the most out of attending, exhibitors should prepare well ahead of time.

As well as prepping the basics for your stand, you will likely want to get all your decorations and any stock or products set up, ready to entice in brides and grooms to be. Find out how to stand out from the competition by using our expert tips on prepping for tradeshow events  here.

Following Up after the Event

Although the event itself is the place where you can network with other suppliers in the wedding industry and sell your services or products to customers, it’s the work after the event that is the most important.

Make sure that you follow up on all enquiries and contacts made throughout the day in a timely manner, with a quick call or email. As many experienced suppliers know, growing and maintaining a good relationship with any potential customers will help to secure more business successfully and show them what a great, trustworthy and reliable business you are.
