Steven Kent Have a very clean, simple & clutter free booth. Attractive upbeat people working it. Solid darker color table covers (*not white*) to showcase select items. Use stands to create various heights for your items. Limit reading materials to 1 or 2 and put the rest away until needed.

Heather Tanfan, CMP. If your audience is clinical you may have to go a little drier, but everyone does appreciate creativity. We have had luck with unique give-away items. Attendees slowed down and walked into our booth to try to figure out what we were distributing. An inviting themed booth and seasoned sales staff to engage the attendees is key. Lots of ideas on Youtube too.

Step two…they go through the curtain and discover there’s a place to sit and enjoy a laser show (that happens to include animations of your product and logo, mission statements, etc). Step three….they converse with you about your product. Step four….that’s YOUR job.”
