Stand Out with the Right Trade Show Displays

Submitted by whateverebay on May 29, 2009 – 6:13 am15 Comments

For those of you participating in a Trade Show for the first time you will want to look into banner stands, canvas printing, floor stands, lighting, table tops and of course flyers and business cards. Trade show displays can make or break your presentation. I have also used trade show displays for backdrops for my product. Of course table top displays work well to use for your pictures or display needs.

If you are planning on doing several trade shows you might like to use mobile graphics, which will allow you to carry them around in cylinders or travel bags. I know that a few years ago, the World Market Center in Las Vegas had many vendors in tents outside. That’s right, outside in the 110 degree heat. Amazingly we made it through. It was my first show in Vegas and I was glad that we had a table top display that allowed us to fold and pack away easily. If you happen to be outdoors you can also add graphics to your car or company truck.

I find that it helps to check out what your competition is doing. Look at the colors, style and sizes. Get an idea on what would work best for you and do not forget those business cards. Business cards are a lot more creative now; add your Social Network sites and display them on your table.

Participating in a trade show is exhausting, fun and a great opportunity for your business. What tips can you share with others participating in their first trade show? Here is one, always smile for that camera. There are usually Media Agencies covering for the local news and a crew representing the venue for future promotions.

    Hi,

    Dropping over to thank you for dropping by over at empty streets and wishing yah a great weekend ahead :) xoxo

  • Nowadays, there are many business owners who have discovered
    the beauty of trade shows and the use of trade show displays. These events can really help boost sales. Information like this helps these business owners
    know their options when attempting to improve their booths.

  • Design Matrix says:

    Being in the trade show business, I can honestly say I know how effective they can be at getting exposure for your business and generating new customers and business partners. A good exhibition display can draw a lot of attention to your business, so it’s a good idea to invest in a professional looking pop up stand.

  • canopy tents says:

    I agree that signage, banner stands and video really help your trade show effectiveness…

    oh yeah and somebody hot working the booth never helps either…

  • Eva from Glodoodle says:

    The company I work for is using video much more these days, not only in presentations for clients but also in presenting and showcasing their services. I think video is a great way to grab attention of visitors to trade shows and similar events.

    I went to ComicCon 2009 and the stands and booths that I automatically gravitated towards were booths with good signage and cool interactive displays.

    The actual event tents need to stand out in order to attract customers IMO.

  • These days it really is difficult to stand out at the larger trade shows. Companies realize that if they really stand out (and go all out) then they can get noticed not just from attendees, but also from bloggers, twitterers, facebookers, and more. A good trade show exhibit can be a mini-viral campaign in itself. Sure…definitely start out small, but consider doing something unique so you aren’t forgotten.

  • Carla from mobileman says:

    Thank you for offering this information and giving the resources to find it. It is refreshing to find bloggers that go the extra step for their readers. These are the blogs that are truly destined to succeed.

  • Bob from Signage says:

    Signage is your most effective form of advertising and portraying your company’s services to potential customers

  • I’m starting up a blog related to trade show displays. I’m searching for information to add to the site. I found your site by searching for table top displays. Thought you might want to know. :)

  • Trade show displays are the physical screens banners and other paraphernalia used to fill a temporary exhibit space at a trade fair.

  • Tim says:

  • Kirill from sign printing company says:

    Checking out what your competition is doing can work wonders for improving your own experience and effectiveness at trade shows. You can see what works for your competitors and then improve upon that yourself.

  • really interesting post.i want to know more about outdoor banner stands.please do post on it.

  • Anders from Exhibition Venue London says:

    It sound obvious but the fist thing you have to do is stand out. But that is not the only important thing. It’s great if people notice your exhibition and stop, but if it doens’t convert into business it is a waste of time. You need to appeal to your potential customers and think about how you can hook them in once you have their initial attention.
