Tips for Stallholders

Whether you've already booked on as a stallholder or are thinking about getting involved, we've put together some useful pointers to make the most of the day.

Things to bring 

• Promotional materials (flyers, posters, business cards).
• Freebies and merchandise (students love useful giveaways!). 
• Sign-up sheets or tablets for collecting contact details.
• A tablecloth or branded banner to make your stall stand out. 
• Extension cables and chargers if using electronic devices - note we cannot guarantee power for all stalls.
• Bring refreshments with you.

Be attention-grabbing 

• Use bold colours, clear signage, and interactive displays. 
• Consider banners to make your stall visible from a distance. 

Be approachable

• Smile and greet students as they walk past. 
• Avoid sitting behind your table—stand and engage. 

Offer incentives

• Students love freebies - branded stationery, tote bags, snacks, or prize draws work well. 
• If collecting contact details, offer an incentive (e.g. “Sign up for a chance to win!”) - make sure you comply with GDPR. 

Be digital, be relevant

• If you’re gathering sign-ups, use a QR code for social media links or mailing list sign-ups.
• Tailor your pitch to student needs and interests. 
• Highlight benefits like discounts, career opportunities, or fun events.
