Create Spectacular Trade Show Booths

Trade show marketing can be a very successful method of marketing your product or service, but it will only be successful if you have a "spectacular" trade show booth (or at the very least, spectacularly effective). Fortunately, creating "spectacularly effective" trade show booths isn’t rocket science. In actuality, it is basically just common sense. But unfortunately, the fact that it is common sense doesn't mean effective trade show booths are all that "common". It seems that many trade show exhibitors miss the boat with their trade show design. But if you can read and follow the common sense steps that I list out here,  you should be able to create an eye-catching, attention-getting, effective trade show booth that will pull prospects into your trade show booth and convert them into customers – which is the point of exhibiting at a trade show in the first place. If you create a design that does the following three things, it will do its job and be effective.

First, to begin with, you've got to get their attention. Your booth is just one of many that people will walk by - it is the proverbial needle in a haystack. So job number one is to have a attention-grabbing booth design. You won't get much booth traffic if people just ignore your booth and walk on by. A big, bold, "in your face" background picture will almost always take care of this first step.

Second, your design needs to clearly state who you are and what it is that you do. Use big letters for your company name and put it at the top. Also in easy to understand terms, you must clearly state what your company does. Ask a friend or colleague to quickly glance at your design and then ask them who you are and what you do.

Third and finally, your design must tell people WWIFT (what's in it for them). This is a critical part of having a "spectacularly" effective design. People will stop and talk if you can clearly explain how you can make their lives easier. For example, if you are a marketing firm, you might say how many new customers you can get them. Whatever you do, remember to tell people how you can help them - this is the most important part of any effective design.

In summary, creating spectacularly effective trade show booths means having a crystal clear message that accomplishes the three steps above. Your design should catch people's attention and draw them it. Your design must say who you are and what you do. And most important, you need to list the benefits your offer (how you can help people). Create your trade show booth design with these three criteria in mind and see your trade show booth be one of the busiest at the show! May your next trade show be a huge and spectacular success!
