The Biggest Mistakes Most Trade Show and Expo Exhibitors Make

And how to avoid them!

You’ve spent a fortune on your expo stand, your feet are killing you, and yet… you’re getting more pitying smiles than sales. Ever wonder why some exhibitors are drowning in buyers while others are just drowning in awkward conversations? I’ve been there, (and seen it all) and created this guide to rescue you from common exhibitor facepalms. Get the inside scoop on how to turn your booth from meh to money-making magic!

Hi There!

I'm Your Retail Whisperer

Or Chaos-Wrangler, If You Prefer

Running a retail or food business can feel like trying to juggle flaming marshmallows while riding a unicycle. It's a circus! It’s chaotic, unpredictable, and mildly terrifying. That’s where I come in.

With nearly 40 years in the retail and food trenches, I’ve done it all—owned stores, managed franchises, dealt with fussy suppliers, sweet-talked (and occasionally battled) grocery buyers, built teams, fixed broken systems, and I've made businesses go from “meh” to unmissable.

But I’m not here to sell you a one-size-fits-all, over priced coaching package or some ridiculous course from a store owner who grew 1 store... I mentor, not lecture. I work with independent retailers and food brands to cut through the confusion, avoid costly mistakes, and create real momentum. Whether you need a quick power hour, an ongoing strategy, or just a shot of wisdom with your coffee every month, I’ve got you.

For Food Brands & Packaged Goods Creators

Got a killer product but no idea how to get it onto shelves? Retail is a beast, and pitching to buyers feels like speaking in riddles. I help food brands:

Get retail- shelf ready from Product Labelling to HACCP to creating packaging that sells
Craft irresistible pitch decks that buyers actually read
Find the right stockists, pricing, and distribution model for you and your market
Avoid rookie mistakes that burn time & money

Want a shortcut?

Grab a Power Hour and let’s map out your next move.

For Specialty Retailers Ready to Grow

You’ve built something great—but what’s next? Scaling up isn’t just about working harder, getting more products in, doing more; it’s about working smarter (without losing your personal touch). And I help retailers:

Fix bottlenecks in operations, inventory, and staffing
Turn browsers into buyers (and keep them coming back)
Get the right stock mix so you’re not drowning in dead stock
Market smarter, not louder (no more “post and hope” social media)

Need Fast Clarity?

Morning Tarnia, I want to thank you for all your support for helping us grow over the last couple of years. What can I say except 'right back at you', ditto. It is always rewarding to work with people like yourself, esppecially another women. "to accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream. Not only plan but also believe."
