When you have business plans for the show, you should be able to determine all the products that are to be in the show. Then know how the event will go through. Present all these to your insurance agent or insurer in order for the risks to be evaluated. It is in the risks that the cost of insurance is determined. As your insurance service provider presents the cost, you can evaluate if it is acceptable to you otherwise, you might want to inquire and get an assessment from other insurance companies.
How to choose the insurance cover
The offered insurance should be able to cover all the involved risks. Although the trade show can be for a short time only and the covering insurance is only temporary, there are instances when there is an extension of the show. In this regard, your insurance should give an allowance for additional days of coverage.
What should be covered in the policy?
It is very essential that you know all the variables relevant to the trade show. You should be able to account for the exact number of vendors that are participating in the show. There is no problem if the actual number is less than those declared in the policy. The issue will arise when something untoward happens and the number of affected vendors is more than what had been declared for the insurance coverage.
Another thing that you have to determine prior to the drafting of the policy is the type of liability coverage. Would you cover products only or also the vendors and shoppers or visitors? What about your employees, would you want them included in the coverage? Be able to specify the number of deductibles. The higher this is, the lower is your premium to be paid. The venue is also a factor so you have to tell the insurer if the affair will be set outdoor or indoors. If your products need to be shipped, will insurance cover when the goods are in-transit, or will it be covered only when at the site of a trade show?
All these data are important in computing for the cost of insurance. One other factor why you should identify your needs is that there are insurers that will provide businesses with unnecessary and expensive insurance. In the final assessment of the risk and cost, the amount you are willing to put up front remains to be the determining factor in the insurance that is covering your trade show.
