Space Invaders

Sunday May 27, 2007
What should you do when another exhibitor "invades your space" at a craft show? Well, my advice would be to politely, but firmly ask the offending party to remove their display (or themselves) from your booth. You have paid money just like everyone else to display at the show. When someone puts part of their display inside your allocated space, they are in essence stealing money from you. However, keep in mind that some people are just a little absent-minded and may not have even noticed they were inside your space. In that case, politely pointing out that fact will take care of the problem easily.

That suggestion is all well and gonod but my expereince has always been with people who know exactly what they are doing…they want as much space as possible even if they come over into your space! They think they are somehow entitled to whatever they want.
