10 Must Have Marketing and Advertising Tools You Must Have at Your Next Trade Show or Event

There are 1,000 different blogs out there telling you the right and wrong way to design, what colors to use and what colors not to use but there are very few blogs out there that tell you what you need to prepare for a successful trade show or event.

Sure, design is an important aspect of any marketing or advertising tool, heck logo design is one of the most imperative parts to your marketing strategy – that being said, it’s only as successful as the materials you carefully pick out for your next trade show or event. If no one sees that beautiful logo design and image re-branding that you just paid a decent amount of cash for, it essentially defeats the purpose.  So we want to help make sure that happens!

LRT loves working closely with our clients to create, develop, inspire and design marketing and graphic solutions that help enhance people’s professional images.

Chances are if you’re attending a trade show you understand the importance of being there. If you’re attending a trade show for your industry make sure that you a. have a booth and b. promote your booth prior to the event itself.

Our friends at Interstate Batteries here in Chico came to us because they knew the importance of good signage and graphic design for their booth. We helped them design their logo as well as print their trade show pop-up tent, vinyl banners and custom tablecloths displays.

Do you have all your marketing tools for your next trade show? Do you know what you need? We created a checklist for you to use BEFORE you leave for your trade show to make sure that you’ve properly prepared for your next event.
