Empty Booth? Not on Our Watch — How Nicolle Promotions Steps In When Exhibitors Can’t Make It
The Hidden Cost of an Empty Booth
Every exhibitor knows how much goes into preparing for a trade show — booth fees, design, travel, hotel, marketing materials, and product shipments. But sometimes, even with everything booked and ready, unexpected situations happen: a team member gets sick, flights are canceled, or another event overlaps.
The result?
A fully paid exhibitor space… sitting empty.
It’s more common than you might think. Many event professionals have seen it. Rows of beautifully designed booths that never open, representing thousands of dollars lost and a huge missed opportunity for brand visibility.
That’s where Nicolle Promotions steps in.
When You Can’t Be There, We Represent You
Nicolle Promotions offers Last-Minute Exhibitor Booth Support, a specialized service designed to keep your investment from going to waste.
Whether your team can’t make it or you just need someone on-site to manage the booth, we can quickly assemble a professional presence that keeps your brand visible and active throughout the show.
Our services include:
✔️ Booth Support Models: Trained brand representatives who greet attendees, hand out flyers, and provide basic brand/product information.
✔️ Event Operations Managers: Hands-on professionals who can receive shipments, set up and stage your booth, manage layout and signage, and ensure your brand space is show-ready.
✔️ Material & Product Handling: If your products, POS systems, or giveaways have already been shipped, our team will ensure they’re received, displayed, and distributed appropriately.
✔️ Breakdown & Wrap-Up: When the show ends, we’ll handle the teardown, pack up materials, and make sure everything is left organized and accounted for.
With Nicolle Promotions, your booth will be staffed, presented, and operational, even when your team can’t be there.
Why This Service Matters
For many brands, missing a convention isn’t just inconvenient, it’s expensive. Empty booths send the wrong message to attendees and competitors alike. And for international or out-of-state brands, canceling attendance at the last minute can mean losing thousands of dollars in exposure.
Our team provides a cost-effective, professional backup that saves your brand’s reputation and presence when unexpected challenges arise.
Who This Helps Most
Brands facing last-minute travel or staffing issues
Small teams with overlapping events
International exhibitors unable to attend due to logistical or visa delays
Vendors managing multiple booths or territories
We handle everything from setup to breakdown, so you can focus on managing your business while knowing your booth is handled professionally.
