"Trade
Show Tips"

Don't

some inexpensive product sheets if you want prospects to leave with something,
and offer to send more information after the show. This approach gives
you a reason to get their vital information.

Use booth
signage that conveys a message focused on your prospect's needs.
-
Good trade
show press kits give reporters basic information on the kits' contents
at a glance; for example, use press-on labels on the cover listing, new
products being shown, special events planned, and location of your booth.
Or, have a table of contents as your first page.
-
To get
attention you need bright "contrasting" colors such as blue and orange,
or purple and yellow. If you don't know the contrasting colors, then do
a search on the web for color charts and contrasting colors. They will
probably have "visuals" where you see how they stand out.

Also...."black"
writing on a yellow background has been proven by tests to be the "easiest"
for people to notice and read. That's why all the warning signs on the
freeway are in these colors.
