The Ultimate Tradeshow Checklist

Don't be like these guys. Make sure you have what you need with our trade show guide!

The Obvious but Vital Stuff:

• Booth Number and Location
  • Booth Number: Write it down, memorize it, tattoo it on your arm—just make sure you know where you're going. 
  • Location Map: Print a map of the tradeshow floor. Trust us, navigating a tradeshow can be tricky.

Essential Products for a Well-Designed Booth:

  • Vibrant, professionally designed banners from Purple Frog Graphics. These banners come in various sizes and styles, including retractable banners, fabric banners, and vinyl banners, all tailored to grab attention and convey your brand message effectively.
• Booth Signage
  • Clear, concise signs to guide visitors and showcase your offerings. Purple Frog Graphics offers customizable signs that ensure your booth is easily found amidst the tradeshow hustle.
• Custom Backdrops
  • Stunning backdrops that tell your brand story and grab attention. Whether you need a seamless fabric backdrop or a tension fabric display, Purple Frog Graphics provides high-quality options that make your booth stand out.
• Brochure Stands
