[U172]Used Trade Show Booth

by Jackie Johnson, Jac

If you have a product or business that you are trying to promote then one of the most cost effective and sure fire ways to really get your product name out there is to create a display at a trade show. Trade show booths can be quite catchy and will always make a lasting impression on your target market when they are done correctly. In order to really hold a successful presentation, you will need to have plenty of promotional materials created for this event. There are many businesses and marketing firms available that can take care of this for you.

There are many different types of equipment that may be used for trade show booths. These include a whole host of displays, exhibit trusses, flooring, table covers, banner stands, furniture, pipe & drape, stages & stage skirting, graphic tents & canopy, lights, light boxes, brochure holders, crowd control, and presentation tools. It may seem like a lot at first glance, but you may not need all of it and trade shows are well worth the cost.

The most important thing you will need for trade show booths are displays. There are many different types of displays to choose from. The most common variations include: pop up displays, banner stands, and point of purchase displays. Pop up displays are relatively easy to set up and can be done very quickly once you get used to it. You will find this type of display to be lightweight, easy to move, and easy to put together. Most people that use them prefer to use them for smaller shows as they may not be large enough for the larger shows. They come in both floor and tabletop models; depending on your need either may be the right choice for you. The great thing about them is that they can be assembled by only a few staff members.

Another display option for trade show booths that you have is banner stands. Sometimes at a trade show you will have extra space, so it is best to not let it go to waste. These banner stands are a great way to add some additional graphics and information to your display at little extra cost. They are often used to draw attention in the lobby, highlight a new product or service, or just for standard use at trade shows. Retractable stands are usually preferred due to the fact that they will be much easier to move from one location to the next.

One more type of display that you may like to use for your booth is the point of purchase display. When you hold your trade show event, odds are you are going to be selling a product right there. After all, why not make some extra sales besides just the advertising bonus that these events provide. Point of purchase displays make an effective area to sell your product, especially when they are done up nicely. Take some time and effort into developing an effective display that you think will draw people to it in order to make a purchase. For more information visit http://www.life-like-imaging.com.

Trade show marketing can be a very successful method of marketing your product or service, but it will only be successful if you have a "spectacular" trade show booth (or at the very least, spectacularly effective). Fortunately, creating "spectacularly effective" trade show booths isn't rocket science. In actuality, it is basically just common sense. But unfortunately, the fact that it is common sense doesn't mean effective trade show booths are all that "common". It seems that many trade show exhibitors miss the boat with their trade show design. But if you can read and follow the common sense steps that I list out here, you should be able to create an eye-catching, attention-getting, effective trade show booth that will pull prospects into your trade show booth and convert them into customers ? which is the point of exhibiting at a trade show in the first place. If you create a design that does the following three things, it will do its job and be effective.

First, to begin with, you've got to get their attention. Your booth is just one of many that people will walk by - it is the proverbial needle in a haystack. So job number one is to have a attention-grabbing booth design. You won't get much booth traffic if people just ignore your booth and walk on by. A big, bold, "in your face" background picture will almost always take care of this first step.

Second, your design needs to clearly state who you are and what it is that you do. Use big letters for your company name and put it at the top. Also in easy to understand terms, you must clearly state what your company does. Ask a friend or colleague to quickly glance at your design and then ask them who you are and what you do.

Third and finally, your design must tell people WWIFT (what's in it for them). This is a critical part of having a "spectacularly" effective design. People will stop and talk if you can clearly explain how you can make their lives easier. For example, if you are a marketing firm, you might say how many new customers you can get them. Whatever you do, remember to tell people how you can help them - this is the most important part of any effective design.

In summary, creating spectacularly effective trade show booths means having a crystal clear message that accomplishes the three steps above. Your design should catch people's attention and draw them it. Your design must say who you are and what you do. And most important, you need to list the benefits your offer (how you can help people). Create your trade show booth design with these three criteria in mind and see your trade show booth be one of the busiest at the show! May your next trade show be a huge and spectacular success!
