Key Takeaway
There's no single "right" way to set up. Some makers go full tent with banners, others work from a folding table. What matters is that your magnets are visible, your process is accessible, and customers can see what they're getting.
One of our members, Jessica (community member), asked the group: "Can you ladies and gents show some of your displays / set up that you use at shows?"
The responses were exactly what every new maker needs to see — real setups, not Pinterest-perfect staging.

What You Can Learn From These Setups
Every setup here is different. Some makers use full pop-up tents with banners and signage. Others bring a folding table and a few sample magnets. Both approaches work.
A few things successful setups have in common:
Samples are front and center. Customers need to hold a magnet to understand the quality. Every working booth has finished magnets on display where people can pick them up.
The process is visible. Several makers set up their press right on the table. Watching a magnet get made is the best sales tool you have. People stop, watch, and buy.
Signage tells them what it costs. Pricing should be visible without asking. A simple sign with "Custom Photo Magnets — $3–$5" removes the hesitation.
Keep it simple at first. Charles posted his "very first today" setup. It doesn't need to be elaborate. You can improve your display with every event.
