7 Tips To Maximize Your Time at a Home & Garden Show
It’s that time of the year again! Spring is in the air, and home and garden shows are popping up across the country. If you’ve got a home and bath remodel on your mind, this is the season to gather inspiration from local home shows.
Visiting a home show can be both exciting and overwhelming. With dozens of exhibitors showcasing their shiny new products and tempting you with sweet deals and irresistible offers, knowing where to look and what to do can be confusing. Our team at Bath Experts has put together this handy guide to make the most out of your upcoming home and garden show visit. This guide helps you maximize your time at the show to absorb as much information as possible and get started on your home and bathroom projects with confidence.
1. Wear your comfiest pair of walking shoes
Prepare to spend most of your time walking, standing, or slow-moving at the show. Save your stilettos and fancy footwear for elsewhere, as the wrong shoes can cause you to slow down or even abandon your plans for the day if your legs start to ache or blister. Choose a comfortable pair of walking shoes, and you’re ready to conquer the event.
2. Make a plan
Research the event before you head down to the convention center. Check the show’s official website for the complete list of exhibitors, special events, and other exciting features. Several home and garden shows have celebrity home decorators and interior designers sharing their design tips and tricks. Note the unique events you’re interested in, and plan your schedule accordingly.
3. Purchase your tickets in advance
Yes, you can purchase the entry tickets at the home show venue. However, you’re likely to save a few bucks when you buy it online. Additionally, online ticket-holders often receive additional benefits like priority parking, early entry, etc. Furthermore, if you’re planning to drive, arrive early to land the best parking spots.
4. Ask the experts
You can connect with design experts and contractors at a home and garden show. Our experienced team is eager to answer visitor questions when we exhibit at a home show. We offer free advice and guidance on bathroom renovation and remodeling. So, don’t feel shy. Prepare a list of questions about your upcoming bathroom remodeling project and take it along with you to gain valuable insights and the best product recommendations from the experts.
5. Take advantage of free consultations
Several exhibitors offer free consultations and exclusive discounts to show visitors. Take advantage of these one-on-one consultation sessions to get ideas, inspiration, and expert guidance for your upcoming home and bath renovation projects. Share photos and measurements of home projects you’re planning to get recommendations for the most-suited products.
6. Give yourself plenty of time
Even the most modest home show requires several hours to complete the circuit. Instead of rushing through booth after booth, take your time to converse with exhibitors and understand their products and services. That said, you might not be able to see everything. So, prepare a list of items and booths you want to take advantage of and check them out as soon as you enter the convention center.
7. Make it a family outing
Many garden and home shows are kid-friendly and have several special activities for kids and pets. Check out the website for special events geared to the little ones, and make the day a fun, family-friendly outing, along with your home shopping.

Scheduled a total shower replacement and was very satisfied with the materials and the expertise of the 2 replacement technicians. Arrived at scheduled time and worked efficiently to complete the task in one day. Cleaned up well after installation was complete. Would use this company again.
Although the wait time to get scheduled was alittle long (not longer than they told us), it was surely worth the wait. The finished product is gorgeous! Our installer, Brian, was professional, conscientious, courteous, respectful & personable. LOVE our new walk-in shower!
Jordan and Ryan were so professional and got the project done in an efficient manner. They kept everything clean. The shower is awesome!! I'm very happy with everything from Mark the salesperson, Madasia the project manager and Jacob and Ryan as the installers. I couldn't be happier!
You can’t deny the product is great and a tad costly but it’s the best. Totally custom. The installer was even better. Accurate, clean, knowledgeable, and well spoken easy to understand.
I chose bath experts this time since their quality of work was much better than the other group. There was a difference of about 1500 but i went with Bath experts. They showed up on time, had their name on the van and shirts.
I got a tub to walk-in shower with glass doors and the experience was wonderful!!! I was as excited from the very beginning mostly due to Taesha as she was one of the best sales professional I’ve ever had the pleasure of working with. Installation was smooth and very clean. They represented great teamwork. Highly recommend.
