First-Time Vendor Checklist: What to Bring to Your Next Card Show

Beyond your actual inventory, a few overlooked items make the difference between a smooth first show and a stressful one.
Booth presentation
A tablecloth and banner so your table doesn't look bare next to established vendors.
Payment and takeaway tools
A card reader, a stack of business cards, and a handful of stickers to hand out with every sale.
Physical comfort
A padded chair, cash box, and something to display cards at an angle instead of flat.
Backup basics
Tape, a spare phone charger, and small bills for change.
