There is an energy in the air. It's the start of a new year and marketers, and business owners everywhere are gearing up for Trade Show Season.
It's time to dust off last years brochures, fine-tune your branding and get ready to hit the ground running.
Pre-planning is key to successfully navigating the next couple of months.
Remember the last time you attended a conference? The speakers motivated you and you were energized by the contacts you made on the trade show floor. But how did your banding fair compared to other exhibitors, did your shine and stand out? Were people stopping by your booth because you had the "give way" everyone wanted? Hopefully, you did.

Let’s get started:
First, determine what makes a trade show successful for you.

- Brand Awareness
- Obtaining an email list of attendees and vendors

Does your logo need updating? Your message from last year will want to be freshened up and your materials will need a new look and feel. While keeping to your brand - remember to stay current on market trends, color, and textures.
Trade shows can act as rocket fuel to propel an already successful business into a path of long-term stability.
Your display booth is your calling card. Your logo should be prominent with clean and uncluttered designs. You want to welcome attendees to your booth and draw them to you. Use vibrant colors and bold images to maximize your impact.
