    How to Make Trade Show Booths

  1. Step 1

    Determine the content of your trade show booth. Do not go into too much detail. Save that for handouts and pamphlets for people to take home. Your booth should outline specific benefits for the people attending the trade fair. What makes you stand out from the competition? Tell your audience why you're the best in as clear and concise a manner as possible. Bullet points, lists and brief sentences work best. Use your company slogan as a title for the display, and be sure to include your logo, website and contact information.

  2. Step 2

    In order to make your company look its best at a trade show, you need to have a professional looking display. The best way to make your display look professional is to hire professionals to design it. Do you have a graphic artist on staff to add a creative spin to your content? If not, consider hiring a design firm or ad agency. They will ensure your trade show booth will look fantastic.

  3. Step 3

    Once the design is approved by company leaders, it's time to turn the design concept into an actual display. Sometimes, the design firm or ad agency can recommend a display company. Otherwise, they are easy to find online and in the phone book. Let the display company know the size of your trade show booth, and tell them your needs.

  4. Step 4

    Choose a display option. The display company will likely provide you with a few different options. Decide what's right for your needs. If your budget is large enough to include light-up displays or other high end elements, they will certainly help you stand out from the crowd. If it isn't, don't worry. Beautifully designed marketing materials speak volumes about your company, even if they don't light up.

  5. Step 5

    Set up your display and enjoy your positive feedback.

Tips & Warnings
  • To help people remember your business, print logos, pens, mouse pads or even cookies with your company logo and hand them out at trade shows.
  • Don't hire a graphic artist based on discount pricing. You get what you pay for when it comes to design.
  • Don't sacrifice design quality for flashy lights or scrolling signs. Potential customers will be attracted to clean, sharp designs much more than gaudy gimmicks.
