In Show and Sell, Margit Weisgal has created what is destined to become the "Bible" of exhibit management and promotion. It's all here. Following this easy-to-use guide is certain to enhance the return on investment in your trade show exhibit.
John DeFrancesco DeFrancesco/Goodfriend Public Relations

If you've ever exhibited at a trade show - buy this book and find out what you should have done. If you ever plan to be in a trade show - the first item on your next budget should be Show and Sell. Order enough copies of Show and Sell for everybody involved. It's that good!
Ray Considine Speaker/Author/Trainer The Great Brain Robbery

I loved it! The Pages are filled with strong, practical demonstrated techniques and good definitions. The "stories" kept me looking ahead to the next chapter Show and Sell is an outstanding addition to a field starved for good information.

Mary Upton, CEM, CMP Show Manager Promotional Products Assn., Int'l.

Corporate marketing managers need to order Show and Sell before they begin if they expect to have a successful show. Otherwise, they may as well throw their efforts out the window.
