Why Most Trade Show Booths Get Ignored
Trade shows are loud, crowded, and full of good intentions wrapped in bad swag. Everyone’s fighting for attention. Very few actually earn it.
We can help! Our content driven trade show booth experiences create real tangible branded products, that will definitely not end up in landfill. These experiences attract people to your booth, engage them, and produce something personalised for your guests that will be kept long after the show ends. That’s why smart, well-designed trade show booth experiences matter more than ever.
What High-Performing Trade Show Booth Experiences Do Differently
We’ve launched three new experiences that are perfect for attracting guests to your booth at trade shows – along with our tried and true AI-powered option that has proven its worth on busy trade show floors already. Let’s turn your booth into a destination!
1. Editable Lanyards: The Ultimate Walking Billboard
Trade show badges are unavoidable, so we decided to make them work harder.
With Editable Lanyards, attendees snap a photo in our professional photo booth studio, and instantly receive a personalised name badge complete with their name and your branding. We print them on-site and guests wear them for the rest of the event.
Every guest becomes a moving brand touchpoint.
Why it works:
- Attendees feel like a VIP
- Increases the amount of foot traffic and dwell time at your booth
- Your brand is visible all day in various locations
- Highly shareable (and surprisingly memorable)
This experience is perfect for brands that want maximum exposure without shouting.
2. Custom Branded Buttons & Magnets: The Giveaway People Actually Keep
Are you still searching for the best take away item for your booth? One that is memorable and won’t be thrown away but actually used?
Custom branded Buttons & Magnets are a great option. Attendees get a professional portrait and walk away with a high-quality, branded keepsake — produced in seconds.
It’s fast, fun, and keeps queues moving.
Why it works:
- The perfect conversation starter
- Ideal for “meet the team” activations
- High volume output with quick turnaround
- Great for social content and brand recall
Small format. Big impact.
3. Lenticular Media: The Premium ‘Stop-You-in-Your-Tracks’ Moment
Remember back in the day when lenticular prints surprised us as a prize in a package of cereal? Maybe I’m showing my age here but this technology has been around for a while and is starting to make a come back. Also known as tilt cards these prints combine multiple images that appear to move when tilted back and forth – creating a genuine wow moment. You can learn more about Lenticular Prints here.
This is a premium visual experience designed for brands that want to signal innovation, quality, and confidence.
Why it works:
- These are very cool and impossible to ignore
- High perceived value = higher engagement
- Perfect application for tech, beauty, innovation, and lifestyle brands
- Guests genuinely stop, stare, and share
This will attract guests to your booth – it’s a show stopper!
