Top Tips For Great Trade Show Exhibit Designs

By Deanne Shepard


Many companies do not take advantage of the great opportunity offered by presenting at trade shows. In fact, this is a chance to make a strong positive impression on a target audience of industry professionals. Getting the most from it requires some effort and inside knowledge. This guide to trade show exhibit designs has pointers to show you how.

Color is underestimated but it is a very powerful tool and can help you to make a splash at a trade event. Ideally, your company trademark and branding has a strong combination of colors which can be easily translated in your exhibit. If you find that your company colors do not work well in this environment, it may be time to think about a new design. After all, a trade show lets you get a very concentrated view of how your branding looks to customers. It should have a strong impact.

There are many ways to approach color, but generally, you should choose a scheme that harmonizes well but also stands out. Avoid color combinations that are jarring or visually noisy. There are many guides relating to color to be found at book stores and libraries. These can provide much helpful input.

Ensure that the typefaces you use are very easy to read and not too complicated or ornate. You should also ensure that the main titles or headings can be read from afar. Remember that there may be hundreds or even thousands of displays at the venue. That is why it is so important to give the eyes a place to reset by incorporating some blank space into the display.

You should also pay attention to the volume of information. Trying to say too much is counter productive. Rather, focus on the key points and allow blank space in your display. Remember that there will be hundreds or even thousands of exhibitors present. Thus, it is all the more important to provide some visual rest within your exhibit so that visitors can avoid being overloaded with information.

Try to plan a range of features in your exhibit to encourage interaction. This means engaging a variety of senses. For instance, you might have a great poster as well as some activities for visitors to take part in. Films and audio can also be effective. Ensure that the tools you employ are approved for use at the venue. Most trade shows have particular rules and guidelines which apply to exhibitor's displays.

You should also pay special attention to staffing on the day. It takes special skills to make the most of a trade show. Choose employees who are enthusiastic and dynamic but also approachable. They are the ambassadors for your firm, so select them carefully.

A final tip is very important but is too often neglected by those who exhibit at trade fairs and events. Carefully check over the rules and guidelines for the display before you start. As an exhibitor, you are a guest at the event so make sure that your presentation fits in well with the overall scheme. This can help to make a positive impression to fellow exhibitors and visitors alike.
