Introduction
Investing in high-quality trade show merch creates a clean image of your brand. It can allow for more foot traffic and visibility, and keeps you prepared for whatever event might be coming your way. For a well-organized and uniform look, consider the following products for your next trade show and event setup.
Tents
Custom tents are a great option to create a cohesive brand image. Tents can provide shade, expand your reach and exposure, and make your brand way more visible.
Most tents can be printed using a 4-color sublimation process. 4-color printing allows for a more budget-friendly tent, as it keeps costs down due to branding limitations. Dye sublimation allows for full-bleed customization. We recommend using this for brands that want something that will stand out more amongst a sea of tents.
Flags
Flags are an easy way to increase visibility and draw attention to your booth. They are perfect for both indoor and outdoor events. Two common flag materials are nylon and super poly knit. Nylon is long-lasting and durable, while super poly knit is lighter and tends to last longer in windy conditions.
Step & Repeat Banners
Step and repeat banners make a recognizable backdrop for photos, interviews, and social media content. Need it to also light up? We can make it work!
Retractable Banners
Retractable banners offer a simple, convenient way to display your logo, message, or product highlights without feeling overwhelmed when traveling with your trade show gear. They are easy to transport, quick to set up, and easy to reuse for your next event.
Tabletop Displays
Tabletop displays are like the little brother of retractable banners. They help maximize smaller booth spaces while keeping your brand front and center.
Tablecloths
Tablecloths are one of the most important elements of a trade show booth. They help transform your space into a polished and cohesive booth, while being easy to reuse and transport.
Play-to-Win Games
Play-to-win games provide an interactive experience that lets visitors engage with your brand. Prize wheels, custom games, and other activities can help create a memorable experience for all.
Lanyards
Branded lanyards are a practical addition to any trade show, keeping badges accessible while increasing your brand's visibility.
Nametags/Badges
Custom nametags and badges help maintain a cohesive and professional look across your event team.
Conclusion
A well-designed trade show setup does more than display your logo. The right combination of signage, displays, and interactive elements can create a cohesive look that attracts your brand’s fans and keeps your brand top of mind. Planning gives you time to select and design the right products, preparing you for future events.
