Why wait until the end, let the visitors pick up an item when they are most inspired to.
Place merchandise inside the exhibition right next to the exhibits themselves – the right items beside the right exhibits. This way the visitors can take a look, pick it up, and pay on their way out.
Attention and increased revenue.

A fun way to increase attention and revenue.
Advertise a week for a type of food: chocolate, cookies, etc. During that week you will pair a particular specimen of the food product type with a product category at the store. For instance, if a chocolate week is going on, and it’s a bookstore, you might have dark chocolate for sale besides the wine books, chili flavored chocolate besides romantic novels, etc.
It’s interesting to get to know the “behind the scenes” secrets of big shows.
See a special behind the scenes show program at the show that explains in words drawing and pictures, the “making of” the show – special effects, costumes, etc.
Ready made deliciousness.
Bake the scones and inject a layer of cream and a layer of jam inside.
