We Just Launched a Simple Online Booking System for Trade Shows — Built for Real-World Organisers

Managing exhibitor bookings shouldn’t feel like running a spreadsheet circus.
After years of helping individual shows and events wrangle their trade stand spaces through email, paper forms, PDFs, and bank transfers, I finally decided to turn all that experience into something cleaner, simpler, and smarter — and launch it as a proper service.
It’s called TradeStand.ie — and it’s built specifically to help Irish trade shows, markets, and events take online bookings for their exhibitor spaces… without all the mess.
🛠 What Is It?
It’s a fully set-up system that:
Lists your available stand spaces
Takes secure online payments (Stripe or PayPal)
Automatically confirms bookings
Lets you view, download, and manage everything in one place
You get a fully branded sub-site (e.g., yourshow.tradestand.ie), with all the technical setup, hosting, domain, and support included for a full year.
After that, you can renew for a small yearly fee — and keep running year after year with updates and changes handled for you.
✋ Why This Beats Pen & Paper (or the Google Sheets Nightmare)
If you're like most local event organisers, your current booking process looks like this:
Exhibitors email or call
You send a PDF
They print it, fill it in, scan or post it back
You cross-check against a spreadsheet
Chase payments by phone or email
Hope nothing gets lost
That system technically works, but it’s slow, error-prone, and takes up far too much of your time — especially when the big push comes just weeks before your event.
With TradeStand.ie, the entire process is automated:
Exhibitors book and pay online
You get notified instantly
No chasing payments
No manual admin
Full control, clear records, zero paperwork
💸 And It Doesn’t Cost €5,000+
There are expensive systems out there (usually the ones built for massive international exhibitions), but they often come with:
Clunky user interfaces
Expensive licensing fees
Locked-down support processes
Features you’ll never use
TradeStand.ie is designed for your scale, your budget, and your reality.
That includes:
Hosting
Domain
Technical support
Ongoing updates to your pricing, stand types, or layout
🤝 And Yes — You Get Me (Not Just a Login Screen)
What makes this service different?
You’re not left alone to figure it out.
When you sign up, I help you:
Set up your Stripe or PayPal account (we do it together on a call)
Upload your stand spaces
Test the system before launch
And if you ever need help updating pages, prices, or listings — you just ask.
It’s like having a colleague who “gets the tech stuff” — without needing to hire anyone or learn another system.
You run the show. I back you up.
✅ Ready to Try It?
I’ve already launched this with one Irish show, and it’s working beautifully — simple, stress-free, and saving the organiser hours of admin time.
If you’re managing a show and want to:
Ditch the paper trail
Stop chasing payments
Impress your exhibitors
Save hours of admin work
…then I’d love to help you.
Or drop me a message — I’m happy to show you how it works.
