Do You Need a Collapsible Trade Show Table?
Attending events and seminars to promote your business is a crucial part of growing your brand. However, if you hope to make any sort of impression, it's essential to bring around all the right supplies, too. You can't just show up to a trade show empty-handed; you need promotional items, pamphlets or fliers, perhaps a collapsible trade show table to hold all your stuff, and a way to hook your potential audience and bring them in.
One of the items you may want to consider bringing along to these gatherings is a collapsible trade show table. Our trade show tables come in all sorts of shapes and sizes, branded or unbranded, and with integrated features like phone chargers. In this guide, we'll teach you a bit about trade show tables and other supplies, as well as some excellent examples we have to offer.
Guide to Collapsible Trade Show Tables
If you've ever been to a trade show, fair, or another promotional event, you've probably seen the usual setup: rows upon rows of booths. Each vendor sets up their designated area precisely the way they want it. However, this means you have a lot of items to cart to and from these shows.
Depending on how elaborate your booth is, you could have lots of props or not many at all. However, a great way to cut down on the volume of stuff you'll need to take is to invest in a collapsible trade show table.
Collapsible trade show tables have legs that fold flush with the table when not in use. This makes them extremely easy to transport. The whole item can fold flat, and you can pack other items on top of them or around them. This makes it much easier to transport multiple tables, too, which you'll need if you want to maximize the display area of your booth.
You can also consider trade show tables with unique features, such as wireless cell phone chargers or unique branding. While these tables are the fanciest, they're also the most expensive and difficult to transport.
Why should you purchase your own trade show tables? Well, by buying your own, you can brand it precisely the way you like. Additionally, if you purchase your own trade show tables, you pay a one-time fee rather than submitting to rental prices each time you attend an event.
Types of Collapsible Trade Show Tables
We offer all sorts of different collapsible trade show tables (and other portable furniture) to help maximize your presence at your next show. Of course, we have the classic long collapsible tables that will make up the front and sides of your booth, but we have multiple other tables as well, such as:
- Square tables
- Round tables
- Cocktail tables
- Tables with benches
- Demo tables
- And more
Additionally, our collapsible trade show tables fold down to an even smaller size by collapsing in half after you retract the legs. Our tables also come with a carry handle that makes transporting the tables incredibly easy. These tables are available in counter-height, four-foot, and six-foot sizes.
Of course, we have collapsible chairs in several varieties as well. Not only are trade show tables with chairs great for promoting your brand, but they offer an excellent opportunity to give attendees a place to sit and rest their weary legs and feet. Our flexibility in table and chair offerings lets you customize your booth exactly the way you want, both for your brand and for your potential customer.
Recommended Tables
We've recommended a few of our trade tables below. If you're looking to purchase your own trade show tables, these examples are a great way to get started.
Backlit Tables
If you're looking for an eye-catching table that comes with backlit graphics, there are several options. They all use reliable and sturdy LED lighting and full color graphics. One style is the Expolight curved and straight tables, with a tool-less extrusion frame and plex graphics; the other also uses an extrusion frame, but with a dye sub fabric graphic.
Folding 6ft Pop-Up Table
If you're looking for long tables to "frame" your personal booth, then this is exactly what you're looking for. These six-foot tables are lightweight, portable, and collapse down to half of their size. The legs fold down with the table itself for easy transport, and it comes with a handy carrying handle, too.
If you think a six-foot table may be too large, we have a very similar four-foot version, as well. Which version works for you depends on the size of your booth area. However, a classic six-foot table is the bare minimum of what you need to create a memorable trade show booth.
Wireless Charging Table
Are you looking for a table with something extra to draw potential clients in? If so, consider a wireless charging table like this one. Not only is a charging station a great way to draw guests in, as it'll let them refresh their low-battery devices, but it also gives you a chance to share your pitch while they wait for their devices to charge, too.
You can brand your wireless charging table with your logo for a more memorable experience, and if you add chairs, you have a perfect place for your guests to rest their legs, too. This is a great time to pass out any freebies or record guests' information for follow-up contact.
Conclusion
We hope we've answered the above question for you: do you really need a collapsible trade show table (or any trade show table, for that matter)? Well, we think the answer is yes. While there is an initial investment to make, the potential benefits outweigh these initial costs. As long as you go to trade shows frequently, these tables will pay for themselves eventually by saving you on rental fees, too.
Which type of trade show table you purchase is up to you; in any case, it's a great idea to have several types of tables to create the perfect booth for your guests. However, regardless of type, we can provide you with just what you need when you're ready to take the plunge.
