Backdrop Displays

Backdrop displays are placed against the back wall or curtain of the booth, and are most often seen in 10x10 and 10x20 booths, placed behind everything else in your booth. The graphic backdrop wall can be built using tube frames, popup frames, extruded aluminum display frames, specialized panel frames, and even truss frames.

Pop Up Displays

Pop up displays all share one characteristic - they ALL have an expanding accordion frame. Initially, accordion frames used either “carpet” panels or printed lambda mural graphic panels. Currently, they almost always use light weight dye sub printed fabric graphics. Many pop up frames can be used with internal led lighting and backlit graphics.

Extruded Frames 

are another way to create a trade show display and exhibition displays. These frames are made from light weight extruded aluminum. The displays are modular, easy to reconfigure, and have been tested to last.


Some extruded frames use tension fabric graphics, others use rigid graphics, others use rollable graphics.


These tension fabric displays can also be backlit to create high impact presentations.

Tube Frames

use light weight aluminum tubes, with dye sub printed tension fabric graphics. They are named zip-up displays by some, due to the zipper under the base of the frame that pulls the fabric graphic taut. Others call them banner displays or modular signs. Tube frames come in different sizes and shapes, and can be connected to create unique layouts.

If a display belongs on a table -- this is where you find it. All of our tabletop trade show displays are simple to use, fast to install and dismantle, lightweight, all while maintaining a high-end appearance! Construction methods include popup displays, small scale banner stands, extruded aluminum and tube frames, and briefcase-style folding boards. This is a very popular category for the exhibitor on-the-go.

The Embrace and Hopup table top displays are the popup banners of the tabletops. They weight 5-10 lbs, set up in seconds, and all come with lifetime warranties. They use dye-sub printed fabric graphics which stay on the table top display unless you need to change or wash them (but they swap out in seconds).  All the fabric graphics we offer are machine washable.

Aluminum extrusion frames combine with tensions fabric graphic panels to give a seamless, elite look. Their exotic, special look still comes on a lightweight, manageable display. Our popular Sacagawea and Segue hybrid fabric displays offer some of the best in table top looks.

If you're looking for a smaller table top setup, we have several to accommodate your preferences, including the concierge which doubles as a display and a literature rack. The Showstyle briefcase display features a durable exterior with Velcro-receptive fabric interiors. This briefcase table top comes in three sizes. The graphic panels and header graphics, as well as lights, are all stored within the closed briefcase unit.


The Fast Trak briefcase table top folding panel display also uses three panels. This is a lower cost unit than the Showstyle. It also offers Velcro-receptive fabric on both inside and outside of the panels, which are hinged together and fold up for storage. These come in 4ft and 6ft models.


Banner Stands


We offer a huge variety of simple, effective banner stand displays. All of these have sturdy construction, high-quality imaging, and a pole that allows for varying heights as you see fit. The graphics can be printed on vinyl or fabric.

Retractable Banner Stands, also known as pull-ups, roll-ups, pop-ups, etc., are based on a wind-up, tension mechanism build inside of a long, slender metal frame. We offer non-retracting banner stands with the same, strong construction but without the tension; you simply roll these up and go!


Also included in this category are the tube frame banners which offer the same simplicity but these allow you to create one, interconnected look that flexes with the shape of your backwall.

Trade Show Flooring


Show floors offer a great, hidden opportunity to wow your visitors! Many exhibitors settle for using the show rental carpet, and their trade show exhibits end up blending into the background. Flooring has an impact even in a 10×10 trade show booth – remember, that’s 100SF of potential advertising space! Take advantage of that space, and create a look and feel that stands out from the crowd.

We offer Trade Show Carpet in either rolls or with Interlocking Carpet Tiles – carpet can be printed with your logo, and normally offers a much more comfortable flooring than the rented carpet – visitors will stay just to rest their feet! Interlocking tiles include simulated wood finishes and carpet finishes. Extremely lightweight, portable, easy to set up and inexpensive to ship. Base is built with 5/8” thick foam padding for comfort and shock absorption. Beveled edges are also available.

For exhibitors with a richer taste, we offer an incredible sleek, high-end wood flooring, raised flooring, and even raised flooring that is internally lit. If you're looking to sweep your audience off of their feet - these are for you.

Printed full color felt carpet at 1/8" thick and 8oz backing is ideal for placing on top
 of unprinted carpet or other flooring, but also works perfectly by itself; this allows for exhibitors to essentially label the flooring with sectional categories and introductory graphics. These are vibrant in color and can be used in multiple pieces to create a larger area. Felt carpets are a great way to make a large impact with little flooring budget. ports.

Trade Show Booths: Maximizing Impact and Engagement

Trade show booths are a critical component of a company's marketing strategy, serving as a physical representation of a brand in high-traffic industry events. They provide an immersive space for businesses to showcase their products and services, connect with potential clients, and strengthen their presence in the market. A well-designed trade show booth not only captures the attention of attendees but also reflects the company's brand identity and values. It is a visual storytelling tool that conveys messages to the target audience through graphics, layout, and interactive elements.

Planning and execution are key to trade show success. Strategizing the booth design involves understanding the brand’s objectives, the target audience’s interests, and the specific goals of the trade show presence. Logistics, such as transportation and set-up, are equally important to ensure a smooth experience. During the show, engaging attendees and generating leads are primary objectives, often achieved through interactive displays and knowledgeable staff. After the event, analyzing performance and following up on leads are essential steps to maximize the return on investment.

Key Takeaways

  • Unique trade show booths are essential for brand representation and audience engagement at industry events.

  • Effective planning and design of the booth are crucial to attract target attention, turn heads, and achieve trade show objectives.

  • Post-show analysis and lead follow-up are necessary to capitalize on trade show participation.

Planning Your Trade Show Presence

Planning an effective trade show presence is a strategic process that demands clear objectives, astute selection of the apt event, and meticulous budgeting. It's the groundwork that sets the stage for trade show success.

Understanding Your Goals

To ensure success at a trade show, first articulate your trade show goals. These may include increasing brand awareness, generating sales leads, or unveiling new products. Your team should understand these objectives clearly, as they will guide all subsequent project management efforts. Recognizing goals early on is vital for measuring the eventual ROI of your participation in the trade show industry.

Selecting the Right Trade Show

Picking the right trade show is like choosing the right conference; location is critical. Research the city and venue to ensure they align with your target audience and branding strategy. Consider a trade show's historical data, its audience demographics, and its relevance within the industry. This due diligence ensures your attendance resonates your brand with the intended attendees, bolstering potential for success.

Budgeting for Success

Budgeting can be the most technical aspect of planning a trade show. Compile a comprehensive list of expenses—booth design, marketing materials, travel costs, and any other expenditures—that will ensure a budget-friendly approach without compromising on quality. Categorize your budget as follows:

  • Booth Design/Setup: This includes rental space, design, and materials.

  • Marketing and Promotions: Allocate funds for pre-show marketing and on-site promotions.

  • Travel and Accommodations: Account for transportation and hotel bookings for the team.

  • Miscellaneous: Always reserve a portion of the budget for unforeseen costs.

A meticulously planned budget provides a financial framework that enhances the possibility of a significant return on investment.

Designing Your Trade Show Booth

Crafting a remarkable trade show booth involves meticulous planning to ensure effective use of space and incorporation of branding elements. It is critical to select quality displays and integrate innovative design features to create a compelling and cohesive environment that resonates with attendees.

Effective Use of Space

One can optimize their trade show booth's layout by diligently planning the space. For a 10x10 foot booth or units stretching beyond 30x30 feet, each square inch is precious. They should consider modular booths that allow for a flexible arrangement of furniture, kiosks, and counters to facilitate traffic flow and attendee engagement. This strategy ensures every element of exhibit booth serves a purpose without cluttering the area.

Incorporating Branding Elements

The inclusion of branding in the trade show booth design is non-negotiable. Bold, custom graphics and cohesive color schemes effectively convey a company’s identity. For a potent brand presence, ensuring every component and sign display from banner stands to custom exhibits reflects the brand's ethos is imperative. This not only fosters brand recall but also establishes a professional image.

Selecting Quality Displays

Quality is paramount when it comes to displays and custom exhibits. High-grade materials paired with superior design services can culminate in trade show displays and exhibits that withstand the test of time and use. Employing event displays of impeccable quality communicates a message of professionalism and attention to detail, enhancing the visitor's experience.

Innovative Design Features

Innovation can significantly set apart a booth at a trade event. Technology, such as interactive kiosks or digital displays, engages attendees in a contemporary manner.

Logistics and Execution

The success of a trade show booth hinges on meticulous logistical coordination and adept execution. These processes are complex and multi-layered, often requiring a skilled project manager to lead the effort, reliable partners for various services, and a cohesive team ready to tackle each challenge.

  • Resources: Allocation of budget, personnel, materials, and time.

  • Risk Management: Anticipation and planning for potential issues.

Logistics in the transportation of booth furniture and components should be handled with utmost precision. Shipping and storage details must be managed weeks before the event. Key factors include:

  • Inventory Management: A checklist of all booth components to ensure nothing is missed.

  • Shipping Coordination: Working with reliable shipping partners to get the materials to the venue on time.

  • Storage Solutions: Securing on-site or off-site storage can be crucial for pre-show and post-show phases.

On-Site Setup and Breakdown

The execution of on-site setup and breakdown is a stage where the team's efficiency is paramount. Important considerations include:

  • Setup Timeline: Adhering to a strict schedule for assembling the booth to avoid any delays.

  • Utilities Management: Ensuring that all necessary services (electricity, internet, etc.) are up and running.

  • Breakdown Procedures: Efficient dismantling of the booth, while managing storage and return shipping.

Aligning partner services, coordinating with the trade show's office for approvals, and communicating effectively within the team contribute to the smooth operation and ultimate success of the trade show presence.

Engaging Attendees and Generating Leads

Attracting and engaging attendees is crucial for maximizing the return on investment from trade show exhibits. Effective strategies can transform passive visitors into active leads, ensuring that the sales team's efforts yield fruitful connections.

Creating Interactive Experiences

Interactive Experiences in Trade Show Booths: Engaging attendees at trade shows involves more than just handing out brochures.

  • Product Demonstrations: Live demos can showcase the utility and benefits of a service or product, allowing potential customers to see it in action.

  • Interactive Kiosks: Utilizing technologically advanced kiosks to present multimedia presentations or virtual tours holds the attention of attendees and converts them into qualified leads.

Effective Sales Strategies

Sales Team Training and Lead Capture: The backbone of any successful trade show booth is an effective sales strategy. Adequate training of the sales team to engage in meaningful conversations with attendees is paramount. Proven techniques for lead capture ensure that the team can efficiently identify and retain potential customer information for follow-up. Strategies include:

  • Qualification of Leads: A systematic approach to determine lead potential helps in focusing efforts on attendees with the highest likelihood of conversion.

  • Competitive Analysis: Staying informed on competitor offers and using this knowledge to effectively communicate your unique selling propositions.

Technology for Enhancing Sales: Moreover, the integration of technology such as lead scanning apps can streamline the process, enabling the team to focus on building relationships rather than manual data entry.

Follow-Up and Relationship Building

Post-Trade Show Engagement: After the initial interaction at a trade show booth, timely and personalized follow-up is essential in converting leads into customers. Establishing a plan for consistent and meaningful touchpoints sustains interest and fosters long-term relationships.

  • Personalized Communication: Tailoring follow-up messages to reference specific conversations or interests shown by the prospective clients indicates a high level of attention and care.

  • CRM Integration: Effective use of a Customer Relationship Management (CRM) system can keep track of follow-ups and the evolving status of each lead.
