Do you feel like something is missing from your trade show booth?
Creating a lasting impression with prospective customers is crucial at these types of events, but with limited space (10x10 trade show booths are the most common), you only have so much room for more branded stuff.
As a manufacturer of custom trade show booths, our team at TentCraft knows a thing or two about the challenges of making a booth look and feel complete. Often, we can solve that common problem by adding some essential booth accessories that we can turn around super quickly.
These are our favorite last-minute trade show booth accessories that are easy to use and transport — and that can be quickly turned around and delivered to you:
1. Custom Cube Displays
Custom-printed cube displays are super-easy branding opportunities with real-world convenience
The 15”x15”x15” engineered cubes TentCraft sells are covered with a printed, water-tight fabric that highlights your brand — and it can handle 400 lbs of weight, making it the perfect little seat for attendees to rest their legs. (And that’s important because if you’ve been to any trade show in Las Vegas, you hit your 10,000 steps goal before lunch!)
These cubes also fold flat, making for easy transportation.
Customers have used these custom cubes for indoor and outdoor events. In other words, they’re quite versatile.
2. Custom Floor Decals
Want to direct show attendees your way? Maybe you have multiple zones of information you need to organize? Or if you simply want more engaging branding opportunities, this is a no-brainer trade show booth add-on.
Custom floor decals are a budget-friendly solution to any of the problems mentioned above. At TentCraft, we print on MultiGRIP specialty floor stickers that can adhere to nearly any type of surface (carpet, concrete, brick, etc.). As a bonus, these floor decals can be cut into nearly any shape, and they’re repositionable in case you don’t like the exact placement.
3. Custom-Branded Counter & Table
Storage and counter space are two common requests from trade show exhibitors. That’s why we recommend investing in a custom-branded mightyTABLE (or multiple mightyTABLES) to extend your branding and solve those two problems.
mightyTABLE is the ultimate trade show counter for several reasons:
Portability. We engineered mightyTABLE with the same framework as our popular mightyTENT, so it’s lightweight, and can fold up for easy transportation.
Branding. This custom podium is wrapped in your company’s branding. Our expert art team can make sure it fits in with the rest of your activation.
Storage. Unzip the soft goods from the back and you have about 15-20 cubic feet of storage space.
Durable. Because we engineered and built mightyTABLE right here in the U.S. (like all of our custom tents!) we control the quality. mightyTABLE can hold hundreds of pounds without worry.
4. Custom-Printed Flags
Whether they’re rectangular, tear drop, feather, or shark fin, a custom flag or two can be the cherry on top of your trade show booth to stand out on the crowded show floor.
Some customers use a custom-printed flag to signal a sign-up opportunity, while others anchor flags on both sides of their booth for extra branding.
If you want to spot your booth from across the show floor, we recommend checking out MONARCHFLAG, our extra-large flag that stands more than 16 feet tall.
5. Freestanding Foam-Core Signage
A custom foam-core sign is an easy way of displaying information. These signs are easier to set up than a retractable banner, but may not be the most transportable solution depending on how big of a sign you purchase.
One cool aspect of these signs is that you’re not confined to a rectangular sign. We can custom cut your sign into unique shapes. We’ve previously helped clients by making everything from smaller table-top displays to life-size human cutouts.
TentCraft freestanding signs include a metal L-base that easily attaches to the sign.
6. A-Frame Signs
A-Frame signs can be easily transported, set up, and taken down, which is why they’re popular trade show accessories.
While we sell more traditional A-frames made with plastic and aluminum frames, we think the more eco-friendly option is the A-frames we make out of Falconboard.
Falconboard is fully-recyclable, super-strong cardboard that we can print on. This budget-friendly solution ships flat and can be recycled after the show.
Smaller versions of these Falconboard A-frame signs make perfect table-top displays.
7. Custom Rigid Signage
A custom rigid cutout of your company’s logo or a unique product can add nice layers to your trade show booth.
We’ve added rigid toppers to our pop-up tents, engaging logos to the front of media walls and event backdrops, and fun cutouts to truss structures.
There’s no cookie-cutter solution for rigid signage. If you can dream it, we can print and cut it.
Transform Your Trade Show Booth
With minimal investment, you can transform your trade show booth from something ordinary to something unforgettable.
You have plenty of options on who to purchase from, but there are lots of positives when you work with TentCraft. Because we manufacture everything in the U.S. (Northern Michigan, to be exact!), we can typically ship your order in three days.
