Double check that website – be sure to point readers to another source for more information. This will be your bottom third. This can simply be your contact details including an email and telephone number, or simply your website. Double and triple check grammar and spelling.
If your telephone number is printed incorrectly then your telephone is not going to be ringing after your exhibition or event. Don’t forget your social media icons and links.
