Trade Show Booth Accessories– the Finishing Touches

Once the display stand for your trade show booth is chosen, it is time to consider the finishing touches. It is time to choose accessories that are going to pull together everything you’re hoping to accomplish with the trade show booth design. There are limitless options when it comes to finishing up the exhibit booth. Keep in mind when purchasing trade show booth accessories that they should help create a structured appearance in the booth and support the activities that are going to take place there.

One display tool that helps differentiate your booth space from the neighbors’ is the carpeting. A custom colored carpet in the booth leaves no question as to where your space starts and stops. Having your organization’s logo or name printed on trade show carpet makes the point even clearer. In addition to clearly delineating your booth space, carpeting – with padding underneath it –will help keep your staff energized through the long days on their feet. If they are limping and exhausted by the end of the first day of the show, they will be far less effective workers. There’s a definite difference between spending all day on your feet on a concrete floor compared to a padded and carpeted space – even visitors to your trade show booth will enjoy the chance to rest and relax a bit.

Considering that you’re likely exhibiting at trade shows because you haveproducts or services to present and display and because you’re hoping to gather new leads for your business, trade show counters are going to be important to your booth. Portable display counters provide space for your demonstrations and product displays, as well as for your lead-capturing devices. There are many varieties of exhibit counters available, some of which allow for graphics to be wrapped around them, giving you more signage options. Some trade show counters provide you with additional storage space which can be locked and which can cut down on storage fees paid to the trade show.

If you are exhibiting with a table top display, then every inch of your display matters, including the trade show table cover on the table. Choosing to use the table cover provided by the trade show is a choice to blend in, not stand out, and will likely be a source of disappointment and possibly even embarrassment. You’re much better off purchasing an exhibit table cover. They are offered in traditional styles, which resemble table cloths you might see on a formal or holiday dinner table, as well as more modern styles often covered in graphics. As always, you want to ensure that the choice reflects your company’s image and doesn’t clash with the rest of the display.

Trade show accessories are not only the final decorative touches needed to finish the design of your trade show booth; they’re also functional pieces of your display. Don’t underestimate their importance when reviewing booth design ideas and creating your exhibit design layout.
