Don&#8217;t squander your huge opportunity with a run-of-the-mill display. You need a booth with eye-catching graphics to grab attention. How do you do that?<\/p>\n<p>Okay, you&#8217;re booked into that huge industry trade show in a few months in Orlando Now all you need is an eye-catching trade show display with captivating wording and stunning graphics to attract people&#8217;s attention and various printed matter to give out: brochures, manuals, handouts &#8211; and don&#8217;t forget business cards! But  where do you start?<\/p>\n<p>You can reduce your overwhelming Trade Show panic to three easy steps: deciding on the design and overall layout of your display; determining the type of graphics you&#8217;ll need; and finding a printer to handle the job &#8211; including last-minute details.<\/p>\n<p>Display Design &amp; Layout &#8211; Now&#8217;s the time to figure out how you want your trade show display to look. You&#8217;ll be competing with hundreds of other exhibitors in a huge convention center &#8211; how do you get noticed? You need appropriate wording for the panels of your trade show booth.<\/p>\n<p>But now isn&#8217;t the time to get verbose! Think succinct. Get your message across in as few words as possible. Thousands of people will flow past your booth. How do you get them to stop? If your message has more than about 30 words, don&#8217;t expect more than a handful of people (or a few dozen at best) to read it. Keep it brief, but big. People are more likely to read your message if the lettering is large enough to see easily from a distance.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Hey you! Read this!&#8221; That&#8217;s what graphics say. &#8211; Pay close attention to your trade show graphics. Signage is a huge part of the Trade Show environment! And it should be huge. Literally. You need to attract attention to grab people&#8217;s interest! Try posting a fifteen- or twenty-foot banner &#8211; with your company name and logo &#8211; across your entire display area.<\/p>\n<p>Oh, and make sure that banner&#8217;s got room to move a bit &#8211; you may even want to have a little fan trained on it. Why? Studies have shown people&#8217;s attention is attracted better to moving objects than to larger ones that remain stationary.<\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ll also need small signage to direct people once they&#8217;re in your area maybe to get people to put their business cards into your giveaway fishbowl (and let them know what the valuable prize is). Or to invite them to sign up for your e-newsletter. And don&#8217;t forget printed collateral &#8211; handouts, brochures, etc. and lots of business cards &#8211; and all those things should be printed with your company name and logo.<\/p>\n<p>Where do I find a printer? &#8211; Okay, now you&#8217;ve got all these ideas for your trade-show booth and you&#8217;re ready to start putting it together except for one thing: a printer. As much as you don&#8217;t want to hurt his feelings, you really don&#8217;t think the brother-in-law of your cousin&#8217;s best friend is up to handling the job. You need a printing professional with years of experience, someone who&#8217;ll work along your schedule, with your timeline in mind, according to your needs.<\/p>\n<p>Your best bet would be to find a local printer in the Orlando area; having a local printer would eliminate those dreaded overnight-shipping costs! And if the printer could deliver your job right to the convention center, that would be a real plus. But something like that would probably cost a lot of money right? Not so.
