Exhibiting at a trade show already takes complex planning, but when you add in the logistical details, the stress can be daunting for plenty of business owners.
Thankfully, logistical providers have a resource for exhibitors that can set them up for a seamless event experience: the trade show survival kit. These kits contain a combination of resources and instructions, such as bills of lading and guides for service contractors, that iron out the folds and ultimately prevent delays from arising. At Pyramid Logistics, we’ve been handling advance warehousing and direct-to-show shipping for the past 25 years, and our trade show survival kit has been a core element to our success.

What is a Trade Show Survival Kit?
Participating in a trade show can be an exciting, albeit stressful endeavor. Between making sure your booth and materials arrive on time, unloading your items, and ensuring you’re compliant with the contractor’s instructions, you may not know where to start – which is where a trade show survival kit comes into play.
In short, a survival kit contains everything you need – from tools to informational materials – to ensure your exhibit sees minimal confusion or delays. At Pyramid Logistics, this includes a combination of supplies, shipping information, and instructions that are personalized to your specifications.
