trade show and trade show displays

A friend of mine has invited me to join her in an upcoming trade show. Since the booth fee is kind of steep, she needs another person to share in the expenses. But I'm not sure if I have the energy to do this all over again. I had participated in one four years ago and it was not a walk in the park. I didn't only have to take care of the products to showcase, I also had to handle all the marketing materials such as trade show displays, flyers, banners and even the banner stands. A participant has to do everything to stand out in trade shows. With so many participants and everyone trying to get the attention of buyers, you can't afford to have a dull-looking booth. Anyway, I explained to her that I might not be able to join her but if she needs my help, I can help her during the show itself. I can be one of her sales people. By the way, one of her featured products is canvas printing. It's so cool. You can have any photograph printed on canvas and it ends up looking like a piece of art. I'm planning to have a family photo printed. I will display on the wall behind our sofa. It's the wall facing our huge mirror. I think it would look great there.
