Freebies for Trade Show

Be sure to consider what freebie logoed item you give out!

There are some items that are not very expensive but can leave a lasting expression. You need to be creative and think out of the box when considering your promotional product give away.

Who will you be giving this away to? Will you be giving the item to everyone who enters your booth? A totebag is a great give away because after the show, the attendees are then advertising for you!

Give away promotional products can also express your brand’s quality. There are several items that would qualify for this give away! Often times, these can be more expensive though. In this case, it might be a good idea to qualify who will receive these gifts. One idea is to give them away as a ‘thank you’ gift even after a conversation.

Are you thinking about Table Covers for your Trade Show?

In the last month or so, I have received many requests for information, as well as orders, for table coverings. Last year I posted several blogs about table coverings. I think it is appropriate to republish these. . . . Are you thinking about having a booth at a trade show?

Are you signed up for a booth at a trade show and you are wondering. . . Now What?

If you answered Yes to either of these questions then I can help!

There are two very important things to consider. What will my display look like and What will I pass out? For this post we begin to discuss what your table will look like. You will have more visitors to your booth if it looks nice and stands out especially from a distance.

Once noticed, customers will walk across the room to see what you have to offer if it looks good! The first way to assure this is by having a logoed table covering.

There are several options out there for table coverings but we have found one that we really like! These table coverings look good no matter what size table you are putting it on. The logo always embroiders very nicely on the material as well.

You might be thinking that the embroidery would be really expensive for a table covering. Well, the answer is that it is more expensive than a left chest design, but it is well worth it! The look and detail in the design is phenomenal! There are times when we can also help to reduce the number of stitches in the design. More information on this to come. Please check back.

Many locations will require that the table coverings be fire retardant. If this is your case then you are in luck! These table coverings are fire retardant and will fulfill this requirement.

Have you realized how important the table covering is for the trade show? If so, read the next post for more information!

Have you seen the cooler scooter? It is a cooler with a seat, handle bar, foot pedals and a motor. You can ride around on your cooler! It is very unique.

Originally I saw it on the The Ellen DeGeneres Show but recently I found out that it is one of the unique promotional products that I can offer to my customers!! The Cooler Scooter (item 51-300XE) is a 300-watt electric ride-on cooler from Cruzin Cooler. You can check it out at: http://www.cruzincooler.com.

[caption id="attachment_423" align="aligncenter" width="235" caption="Cooler Riding"]Cooler Riding[/caption]

It is such a unique item! You can use it for so many different things. Here are just a few ideas:
*Use it as a giveaway at your trade booth
*Use it as an incentive for your sales staff
*Use it as a golf outing give away
*Use it for the company picnic
*Use it for your own personal prize

What a great way to show off that logo! You will be remembered that is for sure!

Pass Outs for a Trade Show

We have been talking about the overall look of your exhibit for the trade show.  The other very important aspect of your booth is what you are going to pass out.  Most of our customers are telling me that they want to pass out something that will be used and not just thrown away.



[caption id="attachment_344" align="alignleft" width="289" caption="Promotional Product ideas"]Promotional Product ideas[/caption]


Others tell me that they want to find something that shows the quality of their work, and still others are most interested in finding something that demonstrates their company brand.




Still others just want to get their name out there as many times as they can with as little money spent.  With these customers, they purchase large quantities of items such as pens for the lowest price possible.

It is important that you find just the right item no matter what is important to you.
We can help!

Table Covering Testimonial

Here is testimonial that I received from one of our happy customers in regards to their table covering. This just proves how great these table coverings are!

Lantech Table Covering

Kristie,

First of all, I have to admit that I did shop around for this item. I did not find anyone to be very helpful, and no one seemed to have much to show me. The internet is crazy with information, but how do you really know what the color will look like, what the quality is and the stability of the embroidery? Then you have to figure out what all the costs really are and add shipping, and hope for the best. I am so glad to have you right here in the Indy area!

Our tablecloth has been used many times now and I must say, it still looks brand new! The tablecloth drapes just right and has looked good on what ever table we have had to use. It has been laundered by me and washes just beautifully. The color has remained vibrant, and the coffee stains wash right out. My biggest challenge is to fold it by myself. The stitching is awesome and the way you saved us money, by adding the navy fabric background, has worked really well. No one even notices that the background is not stitched. LANtech, and I have been very pleased with this product. We highly recommend not only this table covering, but your great customer service, and definitely your embroidery!
