Bob's Busy Bee Printing has been creating custom trade show exhibits and displays for Tampa bay businesses for years. We have seen what works at local events and what ends up being not effective.
Whether you are setting up at the convention center downtown or at a smaller venue in the Westshore District, your booth needs to represent your brand quickly.
Vinyl Displays for Trade Shows in Tampa
Vinyl banners are everywhere at trade shows because they work and the are affordable. We print full-color vinyl displays that look sharp from across the room. The colors stay bright even after you've used them at multiple shows, and they roll up easily for transport.
We finish all our vinyl displays with grommets so you can hang them wherever you need. They can be placed behind your booth, on the sides, and even outside if the venue allows it. The strong vinyl material that we use holds up well and doesn't fade or crack like thinner vinyl does.
Foam Core Posters
Foam core posters are lightweight but sturdy enough to stand up on easels or lean against your booth walls. We can make them any size you need, and the foam core backing keeps them from bending or warping during transport.
PVC Posters
PVC posters are more durable than foam core if you're doing a lot of shows. They hold up better if they get bumped or if you're moving them around frequently for multiple trade show.. We print directly on the PVC so the colors really pop.
Coroplast Posters
Coroplast is corrugated plastic material you see on yard signs, but we use it for trade show displays, too. It's waterproof, lightweight, and super durable. If you're doing outdoor events or setting up in areas where things might get wet or dirty, coroplast This material is less expensive than PVC, so if you need multiple signs for different parts of your booth, coroplast makes sense from a budget standpoint.
Retractable Banner Stands
These are probably the most popular things we sell for trade shows and there are good reasons why. Retractable banner stands are easy to set up… you pull the banner up and it locks into place. When you are done, it rolls back into the base and everything fits in a fabric bag that's easy to carry. We've had customers take these on planes, in cars, to convention centers all over Florida.
We offer different widths and heights depending on how much space you have in your trade show booths. The stands are sturdy, so they don't tip when people walk past, and the banner material looks professional. A technoligy company we work with has 6 of our retractable banner stands, and they mix and match them depending on the size of the booth they get at for each show they attend.
Tablecloths
A plain table looks unfinished at a trade show. A table with a custom tablecloth with your logo makes your whole booth look more put-together. We print tablecloths that fit standard 6-foot and 8-foot tables, and they hang down to cover the boxes and marketing material you have stored underneath. The fabrics are very durable and come out very vibrant.
Tablecloths are one of those things that make a big impact when someone comes to visit your booth. They are inexpensive compared to other displays, so if you are on a tight budget, it is an affordable option.
Bring Attention to a Promotion
If you're running a special offer or discount at the trade show, people need to see it immediately. We create custom exhibits that highlight promotions with bold text and eye-catching designs. The key is making the promotion readable from 10 feet away.
We have done "show special" banners, pop-up display signs with discount codes, and promotional posters that call out limited-time offers.
One thing we have learned: don't bury your promotion in small text. If you've got a great deal, make it the biggest thing on your display. People walking through trade shows are looking for value, and if they see a good promotion, they'll stop.
Highlight a New Product
Launching something new? Your trade show displays need to make that clear. We help businesses create exhibits and displays that showcase new products with graphics that explain what it is and why someone should care. Photos work great for physical products. For services, we use icons and simple descriptions that get the point across quickly.
Promotional Items to Hand Out at Trade Shows
Having something to give away at a trade show always brings people to your booth. We are a full-service printing company, so we can help with the promotional items too. We offer pens, tote-bags, notepads, cups and mints, whatever fits your budget. The best promotional items are things people will continue to use after the show. If they use it, they see your logo again and remember you for future needs.
