Trade Show Supplies Every Exhibitor Needs
Trade show supplies are the unsung heroes of any exhibition program. They may not win design awards or attract attendees to your booth, but they have the power to divert a disaster, make your exhibit sparkle and shine, and keep your booth staff happy.
The Life Cycle of a Portable Trade Show Display
In general, first generation (new) products are introduced with mid-level quality. Meaning, while the materials may be of a higher quality, there are always bugs, features, etc. that lessen the “perceived” value. Those are remedied quickly, and the quality improves. Think first generation smartphones, cars, or footwear.
Mastering Event Booths: Ideas and Tips for Success
The key to selecting trade show event booths is to ignore them in the beginning. Which may seem counterintuitive. Instead, focus on your trade show or event marketing goals. What do you want to accomplish? Be specific.

Designing a Booth Banner to Attract Visitors
A booth banner is a type of signage that can be used to draw attention to a booth or display table at an event. Booth banners can be used to provide information, invite attendees to visit a booth, or highlight a product or service. They can be displayed in a variety of ways, including on banner stands or as tabletop banners.
After 30 Years in the Exhibit Industry — Kevin Carty
On July 8, 1994, 30 years ago, I was offered a job by a friend (now my brother-in-law) to work for his father’s new business. At the time, I was working overnight shifts at a supermarket from 11 pm to 7 am. Then I’d head to college until about 3 pm. It was summer break from college, but I jumped at the chance for a normal work schedule and shift to evening classes in the fall.
