TipsforShoppingNYWomen’s
• START EARLY!!!!• Use the show planner or pick up the official show directory to map out your day. • Walk row by row, floor by floor. You never know what you may find. • If you see a busy booth, ask what time would be good for you to come back. • Network! Build a group of market friends that you can have lunch or dinner with and
share experiences. • Set a goal of visiting 10 new vendors per market. • Wear comfortable shoes.
