Ready to make the most of your time at the Plymouth Home & Outdoor Show? We have the tips to help make your time a success.

· Plan Ahead. Examine the vendor list and venue map to determine which booths you want to visit and what you don’t want to miss. Leave some space for happenstance. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans, so leave some time to wander and see what catches your eye.

Stay organized. Take notes and photos about what you saw and where you saw it so you can refer back to it once you get home. Jotting a quick note on the back of a business card is also a helpful reference.

Follow up. Firms book appointments quickly after a show, so you will not want to wait to get on their calendars. “Spring” to it and make the call.
