This review is from: Trade Show in a Day: Get It Done Right, Get It Done Fast! (Paperback)
This book was a lifesaver for me. I had signed up for a trade show only 2 weeks before the date of the show and was able to pull together a plan, a poster, a one-page data sheet, and marketing materials all because of this book. It is concise and to the point. I highly recommend it.
