Tips on How to Make Your Portable Display Standout

March 21st, 2011 No comments

At a trade show, it is very important to quickly grab the attention of potential clients. This can be a daunting task when your portable display is surrounded by others that are much more expensive. There are a number of things that can be done to increase traffic flow at the booth without spending thousands of dollars.

1. On trade show table top displays and pop up displays, it is important the graphics and photographs are eye catching. People will often make quick judgments about whether or not they want to look at the display based on the pictures and trade show graphics they see. If these are outdated and not relevant, they will move on to the next exhibitor.

2. A well lit display area will be more inviting. Most trade shows are in large conference rooms where there is ample overhead lighting, but nothing that is directly focused on the display. You will certainly standout more by spotlighting your display. You should focus on highlighting important areas or your display with the lighting.

3. Finally, trade show flooring can be added to the trade show display area. This will differ from the basic carpet that you are offered by the show. Not only does trade show flooring dress up the display quite a bit and help things look more put together and professional than other exhibitors but it helps define your booth space area.

4. In addition to your display whether it’s a larger custom exhibit or a smaller pop up trade show display, there should be a focus on brand retention. Not only is the achieved by the way your company represents itself at the show but also through handouts such as brochures, catalogs, and branded promotional items. These types of items are great because it gives the attendee something to remember you by after the show. However, don’t go overboard with this and you should make sure that these handouts are organized in your booth space. You can eliminate clutter caused by these handouts through the use of literature racks, and trade show counters to place these items on or within.

Making a good impression is extremely important at trade shows. With a few simple tips, the basic display can stand out and bring in the customers.

Portable pop up displays are an eye-catching yet surprisingly affordable way to set a trade show area apart from simple poster boards or banners.

In this struggling economy, the need for low-cost, effective marketing tools continues to grow. Portable trade show displays are fast becoming an essential component of any trade show display. While there are many options to choose from, portable displays share many common features. These displays are lightweight, easy to carry, fast to set up and dismantle, and convenient to ship through UPS or FedEx.

Even better, new technology has allowed pop up trade show displays to become more vibrant and efficient. Some of the most recently added features include shelving options, LCD screen mounts, and backlit panels. These features will allow agencies to display high definition logos and photos, as well as creating a space for product presentations.

Many businesses use graphic murals on their pop up displays to create detailed, branded images of their goods and services. Portable pop up displays can come in a variety of shapes and sizes, including custom designs and colors.

With all of these possibilities, it is easy to see why affordable portable displays have evolved into a vital trade show component.

3 Reasons Every Business Needs Literature Racks

July 10th, 2009 No comments

Every business that intends on consumer-facing marketing needs literature and needs literature racks.  They might not be the first thing that springs to mind when you’re thinking about trade show displays, but portable literature racks and trade show literature stands are an essential component of any professional standard display.  Here’s 3 reasons why every single business that markets to consumers needs literature racks.

1. Professional image – well presented marketing literature creates a professional image of your business in the eyes of consumers and industry contacts, and highlights the content of the literature in the most attractive way possible.  And we all know a professional image is paramount in attracting and converting new clients.

2. Credibility – going hand in hand with the professional image is credibility.  Literature racks and display stands (and their contents) add credibility to your marketing messages, to find and help convert new prospects into leads.

3. Conversion – displaying takeaway materials for customers at trade shows can also have a direct impact on conversions, helping make up the minds of marginal clients. Without appropriate displays for your materials, there’s no guaranteeing customers will take your marketing messages away with them

Reasons To Use Trade Show Displays

April 9th, 2009 No comments

There are many reasons that you may want to use pop up displays. These reasons include for showrooms, conferences, outdoor events, press conferences, and more.

Table top displays are an excellent thing to use when you are in a showroom and want to display your products and services. The table top displays don’t take up too much space and they are lightweight. They fold right up and are easy to take with you on the go. You can take them with you to any event and they are an excellent way to present the products and services of your business. Portable trade show displays look extremely professional too.

Press conferences are also another time that you need to look professional. When the local media arrives to your business then you will usually want to use a backdrop with your logo or branding on it and pop up displays can serve this function just fine. When you use pop up trade show displays they hide what you have in the background. If you have papers piling desks, messes you don’t want the public to see, employees running around, and more then the displays are the best way to give a professional look and hide the background. This way the public can focus on you in a press conference and not the things going on in the background.

When you use portable exhibits they are also an excellent solution for outdoor events. The best way to reinforce your company message at an outdoor event is by the use of pop up displays. The only thing that you need to verify is the weather and if your stand can withstand any elements if it is expected to rain or be nasty. Also, you should consider fading from the sun. If you plan on using the pop up trade show displays outdoors then be sure that it is made of materials that can withstand the weather conditions.

There are so many reasons that your company should have portable exhibits on hand. If you often find you are in the media or have to do a press conference then you should hide the background with the use of pop up displays. They are the best way to make your business look professional and create an excellent company image. Most displays that sit on a table or that are tall standing fold up easily and are packed in a bag that comes with them. They are portable and easy to take with you on the go when you travel to events.

Trade shows can be expensive but where else can you go and the customers come to you? You can also check out the competition and maybe learn something new!

Literature racks offer you way to get your information to those new customers, is available if you aren’t and can actually help create atmosphere and have a relatively small footprint depending on the style.
