Get Creative for Your Next Event or Trade Show
Is your small business preparing for an upcoming trade show or event? Deciding on a display that reflects your company's brand and logo is a must. We want to share some creative ideas to help you prepare for your event and to help make your booth stand out from the crowd. It is important to provide your local printing company with advance notice regarding the types of products you will need to make your next trade show a success.
Pre-Event-
- Let's start with invitations and flyers. You want to get the word out that you are having an event or attending a trade show. Spread the word via email and/or social media is a great way to get the word out. Consider a Facebook Event invitation as well. Discuss with your local print shop what you envision and they will create custom invites and flyers that match your logo and colors.
- Have you considered matching shirts or outfits? This is a great way to stand out among the crowd and show off your team!
- Choose a theme! What to choose really depends on the event, your industry, the location and the time of year. For example, construction hats and tool belts are a fun way to play off of "building relationships" or depending on the location and time of the year you can go with a tropical theme, sporting theme, or medical theme.
Tips:
- When setting up your booth, be sure your table is not directly in front blocking the entry. People are often reluctant to enter your booth due to they are unsure if they can go behind the table.
- Ask guests to leave a business card and to join your email list.
- Offer a prize drawing for those who leave a business card. This will help encourage them to leave their card.
