With over 200 vendors at typical Jenks Productions home shows, you’ll want to plan your visit carefully. You can expect to spend 2-4 hours touring exhibits, meeting contractors, and discovering new products for your next renovation project. The specific time needed depends on your renovation goals and interests.
During morning hours, you’ll find smaller crowds and more opportunities for one-on-one conversations with vendors. This quieter period gives you time to ask detailed questions about major renovation projects, compare materials, and get personalized advice from contractors who are fresh and ready to help.
As crowds build during afternoon hours, you’ll experience more energy and activity. This time features scheduled demonstrations and presentations. Pay attention to other homeowners’ questions – their inquiries might reveal considerations you haven’t thought about yet.
Before planning your visit, consider what you need to accomplish. Your project’s size and complexity directly impact how much time you should set aside for the show.
If this is your first show, you’ll likely spend more time learning about vendors and services. Having done research on vendors or products beforehand helps you target your visit efficiently. If you’ve attended shows before, creating a focused agenda based on specific needs can streamline your experience.
Find the exhibitor list on JenksProductions.com before the show. Mark must-visit vendors on the show map and create your walking route through the exhibition space. This preparation helps you avoid backtracking and ensures you meet with priority vendors.
Take 10-15 minute breaks every 90 minutes during your visit. The combination of walking, standing, and absorbing information can be tiring. Most Jenks Productions show venues offer cafes and seating areas where you can rest and review your notes.
