Besides the color and the crowding, I am put off by the high display in the front, as it seems to be a booth you would walk into, and you can have no idea what's back there. The line of sight is totally disrupted.
Even if the exhibitor wanted to keep the display trays on the lower shelf of the tables, it seems to me that something ought to be draped somewhere, if only the back of the tables.
I don't know, it kind of looks like Woolworth's - like you should get 3 for $1 or a similar sort of deal. I probably wouldn't even look at the booth, let alone go in.
Like Elizabeth Kline, I do not have lots and lots of jewelry displayed in my booth. It actually looks more like a store. I get comments like, "it's inviting," and many positive comments. Like Elizabeth I have noticed the jewelry booths with lots of inventory seem to be doing more business.
With that said, I have also exhibited at a few wholesale shows. One is divided between cash and carry and order taking. The cash and carry booths have lots of China import jewelry and they are always swamped. The more jewelry out, the better. But unlike the picture, there is order enough to know what is being sold. And no cutesy pink/purple that looks like it was inspired by a Barbie doll.
This photo, particularly with all the orchid color, reminds me so much of the merchandise markets in Shanghai. I expect someone to pop out and say "ni hao... I give you besta price... cheapa, cheapa, cheapa for you."
It's the ugly purple. The displays need to be black or dark charcoal to really show off the jewelry. Also, to me, you need to see through the displays somewhat to the other stuff behind. JMHO of course. I would NOT go into this booth.
I can't fully tell the color of purple vs. pink and purple...it's just too painful to look at. Hurts my eyes like staring into the sun. Using special glasses to shield the color, the tables aren't bad but the work should indeed be brought up to counter height.
I have had the internal debate of more inventory out vs. less - but no experience with a wholesale show. However, in my experience with art festivals (retail), it seems to me that for some reason certain shoppers are far more attracted to a booth that is stuffed to the gills - at least for jewelry. My booth is not designed that way; but I've often seen other booths at shows that are PACKED when there's millions of pieces of jewelry to see. I have not understood it - I can't even tell what the person (vendor? artist?) is selling, really - it's all too much.
And yes, I'd be deeply worried about theft if I was the owner of this booth.

Mark - maybe the mirrors are lurking behind that tall display in the front!
Not nearly enough purple!

And I like purple.

No details in the products. What am I looking at? If I am a buyer, I wanna see details of the jewelry.
My first reaction is that it looks like a flea market of cheap stuff. Too cluttered and the color is awful.
Where do I start.. its awful!!
