You start selling booths.** Once exhibitors pay for space, the floor plan becomes your sales inventory. In a drawing tool, every inquiry means checking a spreadsheet, emailing a PDF, waiting for a reply, collecting payment separately and recoloring a shape. Double-bookings and outdated maps follow. A booth-sales floor plan lets exhibitors pick a booth on the map, reserve or pay online, and land in a queue the organizer approves. On ExpoFP this is included from the DIY plan at {diyPrice}\u002Fmo. One organizer, the Florida Dental Laboratory Association, said: \"This tool made selling & assignments SIGNIFICANTLY easier.\"",{"type":331,"text":336},"**2. You need live availability.** A PDF is out of date the moment you send it. If sales, sponsors and exhibitors all need to see what's left right now, the map has to update itself when a booth is sold, without anyone re-exporting it. This matters most in the final weeks before a show, when booths move fastest and the people asking for them are least patient.",{"type":331,"text":338},"**3. Attendees need to find things.** A JPEG on a phone can't answer \"where is booth 1412?\" or \"which exhibitors sell kettle corn?\" Interactive maps let attendees search by company, booth or category, save favorites and follow turn-by-turn directions, including across floors and buildings. They also give organizers and sponsors data on searches, booth views and routes.
