Signs make a statement about your company and how you relate with your community. Signs do more than identify your location, they help to brand your company and attract customers.

Take time to plan the design elements of your sign with a sign professional at ExPrT, we will help you achieve a balance of these sign essentials throughout the planning process.

Visible Signs

Have you ever looked for a business and couldn’t find their sign? It is frustrating to be in an unfamiliar location searching for clues of how to find your destination. Customer service begins with your sign, find the best location for easy viewing, and consider multiple signs if people will be coming to you from various directions.

• Sign Size— make sure your sign is large enough to be seen, make it easy for people to find you.

• Letter Height—Rule of thumb, 1” of letter height for every 10 feet of viewing distance.

• Maximum Exposure—Place your sign in a location that gives you the most exposure to your intended customers.

Readable Signs

Sometimes simplicity is best. Make the best use of your space and emphasize key words and phrases with larger letters, bold fonts, and color. Pictures, illustrations, and borders give visual cues to help clarify your message. Use a font that is attractive, yet easy to read.

Noticeable Signs

Use design elements to stand out from your surroundings. Color contrast, use of light, and creative design can all help to get your sign noticed.

Sustainable Signs

Signs that are visually attractive add character to your community. The planning stage is the best time to consider materials for longevity and energy saving alternatives for lighting your sign.

The internet is a great place to start when planning to exhibit or attend a trade show event. Most trade show events offer websites prior to the show dates. Take a few minutes to virtually explore the trade show on the internet before you head out the door. This will save you time on the exhibit hall floor.

Exhibiting -The Latest and Greatest

Exhibitors will find professional exhibit companies online who can provide helpful advice. Most professional exhibit companies offer tips on the latest exhibiting trends and products.

Remember, there are many exhibit companies competing for your marketing dollars. Credibility is important in the trade show industry. Look for experience, great customer service and guarantees. Check out a few websites to get a sense of the “look and feel” of the exhibit companies to find a good match.

Connect and Save

If you know of other companies in your area who are exhibiting at the same event, check into sharing shipping costs. Exhibit companies appreciate referrals and will often give you great discounts for multiple exhibitors going to the same trade show.

Attending a show?

Like planning for a great vacation, you can highlight the most important things you want to see ahead of time. Event websites often offer exposition hall maps, schedules, pre-show entertainment venues, meals, trade show specials, and workshop information. Navigating through the material ahead of time will help you feel familiar with the event.

Some things to consider are…
• Who are the exhibitors you are most interested in visiting at this show?
• How will you find the vendors you want to see? Print out the exhibit hall map and highlight the trade show booths you want to see – take note of any landmarks to help orient yourself when you are in the convention center hall.
• What are the show specials? Vendors often offer great discounts that are available during the show only.

Make Your Own Networking Opportunities

Trade show events are great networking opportunities. If you want to get some quality time with someone at the conference or trade show, try e-mailing your contact person 1 or 2 weeks ahead of the event.

Check out the event schedule and offer to meet-up at one of the meals or workshops. Connecting ahead of time will help you and your company to stand out in the crowd.

After the Expo

Once the aisles clear and everyone packs up and goes home, it is easy to forget the new contacts you have met. Take a few minutes on your first day back to connect with your new VIP’s via e-mail or phone. This will help to build a business relationship that goes beyond the trade show event.

The internet may seem like a “virtual” world. But, the business connections we make today over the internet are sure to turn into money-making opportunities in the real world.

Invite your audience into an interactive experience with your exhibit.

Brainstorm about each of these areas to increase interest.
• words
• pictures
• activity
• numbers or logic
• music/sound
• self-reflection
• social experience

The more you think about your goals for the show ahead of time, the more measurable your results will be after the show.

Intelligent design takes time and preparation. Make sure you meet with our staff 2-3 months prior to your event to begin to consider the details for your show.

Consider Your Market

Who do you want to see at your show?
What benefits do you offer that will attract your target market?

Utilize Experts

• Profit from the experience of experts and avoid costly mistakes.

• Trade show professionals will keep you up to date with the latest trends and tools for today’s dynamic face-to-face marketing.

One way to make the most of your exhibiting venue is to get involved with the presentations.

Become an expert at something relevant to the show and “brand” yourself around this topic for the trade show.

Offer a workshop on your topic for the event and attract interested people to your booth.

When people recognize your face in the crowd they will be more likely to stop and chat, and learn more about your company in the process!
