Capture Their Attention: How to Design an Exciting Trade Show Exhibit Blog Post

The Beaumont Way: Trust. Quality. Efficiency.

Trying to set yourself apart from other exhibits at trade shows can be a trying task. Coming up with creative ideas may be difficult, but there are plenty of options available for you to use to your advantage.

Differentiate with Fonts.

We tend to see the unoriginal 12pt, Times New Roman, black and white style too frequently throughout our day. There are many ways that you can energize your display without compensating for the professional look.

When designing your canvassed products, use bold colors and color schemes that complement each other well. Continually, find alternative fonts that are neat looking, but also different from the typical font choices. Make sure you stick to your brand guidelines and theme. Keep your look consistent from your displays through to any promotional product you may be offering. A unique creative style is what allows your exhibit to stand out among the rest.

Use Interactive Displays.

Use interactive displays and kiosks to draw people in. Technology is a wonderful thing… include it in your display. iPads on printed stands are a clean-looking way for someone to browse through your product selection, and generate their contact info while they’re immersed in your brand. Showcase a video so that those walking by catch a glimpse of what you do, but remember, those walking by have only seconds to “catch a glimpse” – leave all in-depth visuals and communications within print materials, emails, or the boardroom.

Design Your Floor Space Well.

On top of selecting creative displays, use your space as much as possible. Consider making use of height by hanging structures that draw attention from across the show. Also, think about investing in the right furniture so that you can create the right balance of a relaxed atmosphere

Overall, designing a trade show display is a process that challenges the creative mind. Do not be afraid to collect ideas from other exhibits, and share them with your marketing department, agency, or exhibit house to turn them into something unique to you and your brand.

James, Jamilyn and the Beaumont crew really came through for us on a last minute booth rental request. We had a show in Atlanta and they turned around the project in less than 3 weeks, handling all logistics, setting us up in a professional looking booth and responding quickly to all our questions along the way. Looking forward to working with Beaumont for future conferences.

James and team worked with us for months on an extensive exhibit booth trade show in multiple locations. They were always accommodating with our requests and always easy to get in touch with no matter the situation. There truly wasn’t anything they couldn’t do!

We recently had the pleasure of working with Beaumont & Co Exhibits; this was our third time using them during the ESRI event in San Diego, and I must say, it was an outstanding experience from start to finish. James and Jamilyn from Beaumont Exhibits were the epitome of professionalism, and their dedication to supplying top-notch service truly made a significant impact on our booth rental experience.

From concept to follow through, the team at Beaumont got it right! I was thrilled with the collaboration to see our vision come to life – all with the an excellent collection of support. James and Karen with great to work with and did well to keep the ball moving and ensure we made it to the finish line promptly.

Our 20FT Linear had a custom die-cut logo and digital interfaces, that deployed in Ottawa at the RIMS Canada Conference. We were a show stopper to say the least. When the time comes for another project, I know where I’ll be going!

Manager, Digital Media, Engagement & Communications ARS

We had a very positive experience working with Beaumont in the Vancouver Convention Center. The booth they created for us was designed and installed on time and with the best quality standards. Thanks to Maria and James who helped us step by step before, during and after the process.

Trying to plan a trade show in Brussels while being located in the US was nerve-wracking, but finding Beaumont & Co. and Luciana, made it much easier! Luciana went above and beyond when there were shipping mishaps and made sure that we received our booth on a tight timeline. The quality of the booth was great and easy to put together. They really work to meet your needs.

“There is nothing that compares to the Beaumont Exhibits booth system; it will be in my mind or even should be the industry standard. Our booth was revered by all who came upon it. In fact, a comment I heard from a passerby was “Now that’s a booth!” comparing it to all the thousands of other booths at the Las Vegas AHR convention”

“Beaumont & Co. was great to deal with in that they incorporated all our design suggestions in a timely fashion and their superior customer service made the this process very relaxed and straightforward. The final products turned out nicely and to our satisfaction – the displays look professional and high-quality. The banner’s LED component allows us to stand out at trade shows/career fairs. They went the extra mile and set-up the display for us on two separate occasions which was very much appreciated. They have also responded to additional follow-up queries related to the products. All in all, we are quite happy with the end product and experience on a whole.”
