        Top tips:  Follow the guidelines and look at what the judging matrix asks for

                       Do not use your phone on the stand

                       Do not eat on the stand

                       Be enthusiastic

                       Do not be too pushy, or knock the competition

                       Keep the stand area clean and tidy

                       Have a folder with important information, so if a key person is not on the stand the people managing the stand can look up information for the judges [turnover, margin, number of selling events, source of products, profit so far, are accounts up to date ..........]

                       Have a rota of people manning the stand

                       Do not let friends or other students swamp your stand and exclude customers

                       Arrive early enough to get a good spot. 

                       Do not use the excuse "our products are not right for this market"

                       Listen to advice from the judges

                       Have photographs and details of any other sales events or activities your company has been involved in.  If you do not show the judges publicity material, flyers, key information etc. then they cannot mark your company positively for having done them.
