Building Awareness of Your Brand

This, obviously, is the primary goal of trade show exhibits. Most businesses want to be known as leaders in their industry and focus on building awareness of their brands in their exhibit and exhibit marketing.

Here are some ideas:

• Graphics: Graphics are a crucial part of any trade show exhibit. Make sure attendees don’t overlook you by using bright, bold colors and messages that are easy to read.  Large exhibits can feature branding at different heights for visitors to see from far away, from down the aisle, and inside your booth.

• Dimensions: Visually compelling shapes, such as three-dimensional logos, can convey brand personality. If you have an island exhibit with four sides, you’ll need to consider graphics and/or messaging for all public-facing sides for maximum impact.

• Consistency: Avoid weakening your brand by confusing people. Your exhibit should reinforce the brand message you convey through your website, ads and marketing collateral.

• Interactivity: Companies can often boost their ROI by inviting attendees to interact with their websites or social media pages during the show with video screens and other options. Think beyond standard booth designs while still cultivating a clear and consistent brand message.

• Restraint: It can be tempting to overwhelm a trade show booth with too many images or too much content. Most attendees will spare just a few seconds to check out your booth to see if it offers anything of value. Make sure your exhibit captures your company’s essence and tells them everything they need to know quickly.

Trade shows provide face time with real buyers who are all in one place, but attendees will keep walking unless you offer them something of value in exchange for their time, such as free samples, show specials, or a useful, fun or exciting giveaway, or a unique experience they won’t get elsewhere.

At your next NYC trade show, LaunchDM can help you take full advantage with a booth design that irresistibly conveys your marketing message and persuades attendees to take a chance on your exhibit. Get in touch today!
