Pop-up booth said...: There are a wide variety of pop up trade show displays. They are used both at promotional platforms and at presentation sessions. A standard-sized version of 8'/10' widths and 8' height is quite popular among the trade fair participants. It can be easily transported across venues to participate in corporate events or press meets.; June 11, 2011 at 6:19 AM
Pop-up booth said...: Trade show flooring gives you an often overlooked way to display your logo, repeating the theme or image used on other materials. The more you repeat your logo, the longer it will stay fresh in the minds of visitors to your location. For maximum impact, you can have your logo recreated on carpeting - it's a rich, unique look that will impress visitors.; June 19, 2011 at 11:45 AM
