Depending on whether you're an amateur to trade shows or a seasoned veteran, each person can have a vastly different idea of what a trade show display should include. A trade show booth can be as simple as a covered table, pipe and drape backwall, two retractable banner stands, and a literature stand. It's simplistic and can fit into even the smallest trade show budgets.

You can turn a bland entryway into a bright, visual experience by utilizing a series of backlit display panels. Whether it's a dark corner in a hotel lobby, college atrium, event space, or at the bottom of a stairwell, properly designing and employing backlit panels can reinvigorate any space with a punch of light and color. Backlit panels can also enliven your booth space during a preview reception where the lighting is set for mood or at events with performances.

Typography plays an important but often underestimated role in exhibit design. The font used in the design of a trade show display will often make a bigger impression upon attendees than the words themselves. Attendees and the general public are largely unaware of the influence that font choices can have on purchasing decisions, and you can use this to your advantage as an exhibitor.

Attendees are motivated to attend trade shows and business expos to stay up to date on their industry, and thus are open to seeing new products and services that can benefit their business. If you can position your latest product in a way to capture their imagination and attention, the potential is high for a strong return on investment for your participation.

At the end of the day, every trade show must have a return on investment. Not only helping to cover the plethora of costs of exhibiting for multiple days, but also to help the company's bottom line. You invest in your trade show displays, the handouts, the brochures, the staffing, the time commitment, and on and on. Every successful trade show appearance needs to move the needle: more clients, more contacts, more partnerships, etc. You need a measurable return.

While trade shows can be traced back to medieval Europe, they remain highly relevant in modern times as a way for members of a specific industry to showcase, exhibit, and demonstrate their company's products and services face-to-face.
