Promotional Trade Show Stand Items

When it comes to considering your brand's presence at a trade show or industry exhibition, it plans to prepare what you're going to do in advance.

According to figures shared by Eventbrite, the exhibition and trade fair sector was worth an estimated £19.2bn in venue and destination direct spend in 2015. Over 13 million visitors descend upon the various shows and exhibitions that take place across the UK each year. 13 million! If you've paid to have a stand at one of these hot-ticket events, it makes total sense to maximise its potential while you're there - and what better way to do that than by making sure it looks fantastic and catches the attention of everyone who walks past?

Which Promotional Items Are Best For Decorating A Trade Show Stand?

The best items will keep your stand visible and on-brand, as well as making it memorable in the minds of exhausted customers and clients who have walked around exhibition halls for hours (over eight hours, in fact, according to research). When it comes to decorating your trade show stand, there are a few important factors you should consider, namely:

Who is your target visitor? Are you keen to attract the attention of potential customers, budding retailers or perhaps members of the press?
What impression do you want to give of your business? What aesthetic image do you wish to project of your brand and how can your stand space best project this?
How will you measure if the event is a success? Do you want to make there-and-then sales, garner lead generation or simply generate awareness for your business to a new audience?

In summary, it's key to know what you want your stint at the trade show or exhibition - whether you're there for a day or a week - to achieve for your business, be it general attention, service sign-ups or something else entirely. One simple way to instantly attract attention for your stand is to carefully design it, making sure it catches eyes and grabs attention for all the right reasons.

Rectangular Polyester Tablecloth

Sure, tablecloths aren't exactly the most exciting of items. However, what they lack in cool they more than make up for in practical. if you've booked a stand at an event, there's no guaranteeing the quality of what you're going to be presented with for your stand - it could be a scratched table or a dull counter-top that does absolutely nothing to enhance your brand.

Enter the promotional tablecloth! Printed with your artwork, our promotional polyester tablecloth is great for brightening up even the dullest of exhibition stands, as well as positioning your logo centre stage, too. Available in 27 colours and machine washable, it's one of our best-selling products for a reason.
