The ADfab Tradeshow Buzz

When you rent most smaller exhibit spaces, a 6’ long table is included as part of your rental package. A common mistake I see with exhibitors is how and when they use this table. First, if you don’t need the table, have show services take it away. Figure that, in a 10’ x 10’ space, you’ve got 100 square feet and your table is taking around 18 sq. ft.! If you’re using it for literature, don’t! You can get portable literature racks that take up 1 or 2 square feet and that look a lot neater.

If you do need to use the table – for product or computers, for example – then I highly recommend a tablecloth that is consistent with the branding on your display. Often, these rental tables are finished with white plastic sheeting on the top and a cheap looking blue or black curtain around the sides. If you’ve gone to so much effort to make your display reflect the value of your product or service, then make sure the rest of your precious floor space looks as good. Trade show tablecloths come in a variety of colours, and there are different printing options at different price points for images or logos. Send us what you’d like to put on your tablecloth, and we’ll give you advice on the different options.
