You’re headed to a trade show, excited to show off your new product, but do you have what it takes to get noticed? Have you prepared enough to take advantage of this opportunity? Trade shows give you the possibility of new clients, new partners, new customers and new suppliers.
Make the most of your opportunity with trade show signs and displays that will “wow” your audience! The following are some ideas from Image360® to get you started.
Begin your custom display by coming up with a plan. Compile a committee of marketing experts within your business and decide on a strategy. Some questions you could answer to get yourselves there might include:
As you consider the answers to these questions, you’ll have the specifics needed to complete the rest of the steps.
Trade show displays that have too much going on can actually overwhelm a potential client. Instead of scaring off your customers, draw them in by keeping the display simple. Of course, you should have your product there, but you don’t want it to look cluttered. Before going to the convention, set up your display and play around with the amount of products until you hit that sweet spot.
Something else to keep on the simple side is the amount of information you offer the people at the show. You want them to know everything about the product you’re promoting, but you don’t want them to have to hang on to too many pamphlets or flyers. Create a tidy-looking brochure and display it in a brochure rack from Image360 so clients can take one at will. If someone doesn’t have time to spend at your booth, the brochure should give them enough information to really understand your product.
Demonstrations are a great way to show off your product. You could offer demonstrations every hour on the hour or something similar so everyone knows when they can see your product in action. A customized table throw would be a good backdrop for such a demonstration, and surrounding signs can complete the environment.
While showing off your product, let other attendees at the convention give it a try. You may want to have a sample product specifically for this purpose so you don’t run the risk of damaging products. Keep in mind the more people try it, the more people will talk about it, the more people will come by your booth to give it a try for themselves and the more relationships you will begin to build.
The size of your product will largely determine the type of booth you end up using. Custom booths from Image360 come in a variety of shapes, sizes, functions and abilities. For example, if you have a large product, make sure to fill up your space with hanging signs or interactive kiosks. While a large product itself might be best suited directly on the floor, there’s a lot you can do above and around it to draw attention.
Small products have different needs. A custom booth for a small product might require bigger signs with more detailed graphics. You might also need a video playing that gets up close and personal with the product and how it is made. Everything about your booth should amplify your small product.
Pull your clients and potential customers into the reality of your product by building an environment right into your trade show display. The right display solution from Image360 can make them feel like they’re not at a trade show at all, but rather at the location that best displays your product.
For example, if you are promoting something for the yard, turf might be a great selection instead of a rug. If you are promoting office supplies, set up a desk for your visitors to sit at while testing the products. Get creative with your environment so everyone who visits the booth will walk away feeling like yours was the best display at the show.
You might say nothing draws more attention to a trade show display than light, and you’re right. While bright, flashy lights could get someone’s attention from across the room, it’s important to implement direct lighting into your display as well.
For example, clamp lights can be used to spotlight certain products, the brochure rack or your ceiling signs. Exhibit table lamps from Image360 can offer that certain ambiance you’re looking for. Unless your product works best in the dark, the brighter the booth, the better.
Although you and your team will probably come up with a great plan, it’s never a bad idea to run some things past the professionals at Image360. Find out what it would take to purchase the components you need for your display. Discover the other possibilities available to you that you may not realize you have. Figure out how long it will take to have a table throw, ceiling sign, display board or other items customized. As you learn what it takes on the side of the professionals, you’ll be better prepared to have what you need, when you need it.
