Creating Exhibit Space Products

Creating an exhibit product inside of Ad Sales Genius is similar to print products with a few additional details: Your Ad Sizes and rates will be in relation to the booths you're offering for the event, and booking space for the event requires that you upload a floor plan of the event.

This article will walk you through creating an exhibit product.
