Peter, sounds like your peacock is a home-grown booth babe, splash without substance!

Don’t forget the peacock. One who stands in the booth and challenges the booth with her outfit as an attraction. When questioned they always require the assistance of a company staffer to handle even the easiest of questions.

I hope the staffers you have are frogs, squirrels, and other “dogs”!

Kate,

That is very mature of you to actually ask your team if they want to staff your trade show booth. Now that you know what they really like, you can find other people who are willing and able to step in. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I appreciate models like these.
After sharing this article with a pair of show staffers I learned they enjoy inservicing at clinical sites but not so much shows.
Without sharing this I never would have had the opportunity to use them for their passion for education instead of squirreling away like I do.

Thanks, Janice. The raccoons do their best to hide, but they are easier to spot then they think!

Ah, yes, I’ve seen a few raccoons over the years. Bring me those treasured frogs any day! Good job once again, Michael. Amusing article that is also right on point.

Nice analogy. I’d like to add the Honey Bee to the list of personality/worker types. That would be someone who’s always busy collecting the trade show honey. LEADS!

I laughed at this article… I actually do have some of my dogs sitting in my booth at the pet expos I do! I usually have at least two Chinese Crested dogs in various spots in the booth! As for the two legged ones, I have several of the animals you listed above.
