As a marketing professional who has attended more than her share of trade shows, I’ve seen a big trend at various industry trade shows and conventions: it’s the growing trend of retractable banners replacing those big booths at trade shows.
There are a lot of things to like about retractable banners… in fact, it seems like a no-brainer:
- Easy to set up
- Customizable for each show
- Easy to carry
- Easy to pack up
- Inexpensive shipping (many take them on the plane as checked baggage)
- Full color, bright and colorful
I’m not suggesting you throw away your big 20 foot booth, but next time you are preparing for the trade show, think about a Table Top Display with two Retractable banners. You’ll feel like you’re going to your kid’s soccer game with 3 fold up chairs — instead of getting ready to ship a pallet, assemble a collapsing grid, try to get carpet with magnetic strips to adher and then velcro on the posters. Not to mention the whole tear down!
