Lay out your booth before you ever load the car. Set your space, drag tables and
displays onto a measured grid, switch to a 3D view to see it at eye level, drop in
customers to test how it flows, then save your plan as a link or an image.
Tip: drag a piece to move it, drag empty space to pan, and pinch to zoom. Tap a piece to
select it, then resize, rotate, duplicate, label, or delete it.
A quick guide
How to plan a booth that sells
A good booth does two jobs at once: it pulls people in from the aisle, and it makes
browsing easy once they are inside. Here is what I would think through before a show.
Common booth sizes
Most craft fairs and markets sell space in a few standard footprints. The planner
starts at 10 by 10 ft, the most common size, and you can switch to any of these or
set a custom size.
8 by 8 ft. A compact table-top setup, common at indoor markets.
10 by 10 ft. The standard single booth. One tent, room to move.
10 by 15 ft. A roomier single, good for larger displays.
10 by 20 ft. A double booth, or a corner spot with two open sides.
Booth layout types
Five shapes cover almost every booth. Pick the one that fits how you want people to move.
Front counter. One table across the front. Simple, fast, and it keeps the aisle moving. Best for small items and quick sales.
U-shaped. Tables on three sides with you in the middle. People step in and browse all the way around.
L-shaped. Two sides of display, open on the others. A strong fit for a corner spot.
Z-shaped. Tables set in a right-angle zigzag so people wind through the booth and pass more of your work on the way. Good when you have a lot to show.
Walk-in. Open front with displays along the sides and back, like a tiny shop. Best for clothing, art, and larger pieces.
You can drop any of these in as a starting point from the Booth panel, then move pieces to fit.
Table and counter height
Height changes how people shop. The planner uses a standard 30 in table height, and you
can raise any single piece in its dimensions panel.
30 in (standard). Normal table height. Good for laying products flat.
36 in (counter). Browsing height. Easier to reach without bending, and it reads as a shop counter.
Risers. Add height on top of a table so back rows stay visible.
Leave room to move
Plan for where people stand, not just where the tables go. Switch on the people tool and
drop a few customers to see it. Each one shows a 1 ft personal-space ring, and the rings
turn amber where it gets too tight. Mark where you will stand too, so you are not boxed in.
Pay extra attention when you have neighbors tight on both sides. With no open side, the
front is your only way in and out, so keep a clear lane from the aisle to where you stand
and resist packing the front edge. Leave yourself room to restock, step back, and help a
customer without climbing over your own tables.
This is the kind of thing I build.
The booth planner is a small example of a custom tool made for a real job. If your business has a workflow that a tool like this would make easier, let’s talk about building it.
