Lights! Events! Action!

The concept of light is one that has always fascinated human beings. Since we discovered the ability to create and harness fire, to the perfect lighting on a movie set, light is not only crucial to our survival, but it has different meanings depending on many factors. Light can become a source of security on a lonely street at night, it can help you find things in the dark, it can show your best side to highlight your best features, it can make you lose sleep at night and it can become a beacon of hope when coming from a rescue chopper. We talk about the light at the end of the tunnel, about seeing the light, enlightening a situation and use many metaphors or jokes about light because it is part of the duality of the Universe and represents the opposition to darkness. It is no wonder it has become a profession even, with lighting experts creating concepts to light works at a museum or creating the perfect ambiance for a scene in a TV show. So, if an expert needs to be hired to create a lighting concept, why shouldn’t we do that with lighting our company’s image?

Backlit displays are the go-to when you want to stand out. They always give a sense of grandeur, elegance, magnificence. More importantly they show you truly invest in your business and your customers or customers-to-be. Even better, backlit displays are not really a lot more expensive that regular displays, and a little extra effort goes a long way in terms of showing a better face to the world. If you are worried about the energy they consume or how long they last, fret no more, for backlit displays are done with energy-saving LED lighting that lasts up to ten years! They have a great shelf-life so your investment goes a long way.

Backlit displays come in all shapes and sizes, and it is up to you to decide whether you want your whole booth to stand out or to just highlight something special. For example, if you are launching a new product, how amazing would it look to place it in front of a small tabletop-type backlit display so that it shines above all else in the booth? It also depends on your budget. However great kits and great prices you can find, your budget will also determine how big of an investment you can make. It boils down to where you want to focus your efforts. If it is a matter of brand placement, you will probably want to have a big, backlit backwall to draw attention from afar and be a focal point at your industry event. If it’s selling the entirety of the company and its value proposition, these backwalls can be as big as your booth.

You might already know the benefits of tension fabric displays with their amazing dye-sub graphics. Now you can illuminate those amazing graphics so you can have a double wow factor working for you. The lighting is visible and outstanding, but not uncomfortable or “in your face”.

Another option is the Vburst, with a patent-pending design that allows for fluorescent lights to illuminate the popular accordion-style pop-up frames. It’s built to hide the hub shadows on the center of the graphic face which makes the lighting flawless and attractive. And speaking of easy to set up, the fabric is velcroed onto the frame, and so are the light fixtures, to avoid any broken pieces while allowing for wonderful lighting effect on great graphics.

The Fabric Light Boxes for backlit displays are also great options. They come in many sizes, are lightweight, durable and have sturdy aluminum extrusion frames so those graphics your marketing and sales team so thoroughly thought out, are smoothly displayed. This is also a solution with an easy setup with “push fit” graphics that are printed directly onto the back-lit specialty fabric. The fabric adheres to the LED edge lighting behind the display, so you make sure all the perfect lighting is evenly distributed and used to highlight your brand. Some of these options have single or double-sided graphics as well, so you get to decide who can see you depending on the general setup of the whole booth.

Thinking about lighting is something you might have not paid much attention to in the past, and now that it is so easy to take advantage of great lighting solutions, you still don’t have to give it much thought. Just choose the solution that adapts best to your needs and that of the particular event that is coming up. Take into account that you can change the graphics as many times as you wish, making the investment last for several events to come. You can bring the spotlight to your company and be the guiding light for those leads walking around and looking for exactly what you have to offer.

Quality You Can Afford

Just like you decide to have quality over quantity when it comes to eating healthy and delicious, your company also needs the right nourishment. It’s important to establish your priorities so your sales and marketing teams are aligned in their business development efforts.

One of the best ways to attract new customers or retain existing ones is to personally engage with them at trade shows, conventions, fairs and outdoor events. The gist of it is to learn how to stand out, have top notch setups, and still respect your budget. What needs to be done is prioritize and spend your budget wisely in what will result in more client engagement, more traffic attraction and more opportunities to generate leads and close sales in an environment that screams your brand out into the world.

There are a lot of things to consider when you are thinking about investing in display equipment, like backwalls, banners, tents and flags. One of the most important aspects to consider is quality. And what is quality? Durability, versatility, portability and graphics to die for. If you are about to make an investment in a booth or stand, make sure you will be able to participate in many more events with the same hardware. The money you invest on high-quality materials will make or break your overall budget. Think ahead, consider your current situation and what this next event will lead you so you know that what you are buying now, you will be able to use for years to come. Hardware should be sturdy, durable and made to last. Ask about guarantees, expected product life, and construction advantages. This also goes for accessories and cool gadgets or digital signage. If your hardware works, if it lasts, then everything else falls into place. Find a vendor that can answer all your questions, explain all the perks, and cater to your specific needs.

Now that you have considered the best materials for you and your requirements, remember that graphics will tell your story. Many systems feature replaceable graphics, so you can create many different configurations for various different events and mix and match at will. Spending a few extra bucks and getting to be the coolest cat in town is all about the graphics. Many marketers are turning to dye-sublimated graphics as their preferred media. Dye-sublimation not only looks and feels absolutely incredible, but is made to last. They are washable, foldable, and all-around huggable. But you have to choose wisely, as the process can be done “on the cheap” with less than stellar results. Trust a reputable manufacturer that features up-to-date technology that can guarantee crisp resolution. What your leads see about you is what they will expect from you when you close that sale, so don’t disappoint and give them quality all around that doesn’t have to cost more.

Since you are investing in durable materials and amazing graphics, make sure your investment is well-guarded during transit. Never underestimate the importance of portable, collapsible, lightweight hardware and shipping cases. Your new investment must not only be easy to transport, but be a breeze to set up as well. The quicker you can have your displays and booths up and running, the quicker you will be able to invest time on your leads and existing clients visiting you, and we all know time is money! And if they are made to be carried and transported with ease, and even a child can set them up, you better believe that your investment will be well protected until the next time it will be used.

Small, essential aspects that don’t cost a lot more like lasting hardware, killer graphics, portability, protection and easy setup will translate into what your potential customers see in you and your brand. If you choose quality wisely, you will always look top quality yourself and your leads will not only appreciate that, but take it into account when it comes to closing the deal. So put your money where your mouth is! If you go on and on about being the best of the best, make sure to buy the best from the best.
