In the past, displays were difficult to transport. In contrast, today’s displays are lighter, portable, and customizable. Thus, companies may reuse displays at different events. As displays continued to evolve, vendors would include extra features such as tables as chairs. This simplified costs because companies used one vendor to obtain displays and useful extras to create welcoming atmospheres for attendees.

However, the changes did not stop there. Below are some of the most significant changes to trade show displays:

• Modular exhibits provide an effective way to customize booths. They come in lightweight and portable designs, and they provide one of the most essential elements needed in trade show advertising – the ability to entice traffic into booths. Modular display systems increased standards because companies have the ability to configure them to their specifications. In addition, companies may add various lighting techniques to create specific looks.

• Literature racks are essential extras for trade show displays. Literature racks come in a variety of materials and they help trade show staff easily disseminate printed materials about their companies’ brands, product(s) or service(s). This provides consumers with tangible information to remember companies.

• Trade show flooring also takes booths to the next level. Participants are no longer stuck conducting business on traditional hard convention floors that easily tire staff and attendees. Custom-made flooring makes it easier for trade show staff to focus on selling product(s) or service(s). Furthermore, companies may choose from different tile types and colors to attract more consumers. Companies may now include their logos and slogans on their flooring to generate additional brand awareness.

The evolution of trade show displays have truly allowed companies to create store-like atmospheres. From the bulky designs of the past, to modular displays, companies now possess the ability to transform booths into unique consumer experiences.
