3 things to try at your 2012 Trade Show

1. Video
A well executed video about your company and services is an excellent way to convey who you are.  Vendors often struggle with explaining their services to every attendee walking by, making a video loop is extremely helpful.  Clearly directed towards your company’s message, a video will cut staffing needs, provide an impressive visual display and target your key market.  You will never miss the opportunity to reach out to a potential client again!

2. Color
There is no reason to blend into the background of a boring convention.  Total Events services extend far beyond the standard booth set-up. Our extensive collection of fabrics, draperies and linens are sure to set your space apart.  Creating the proper backdrop for your booth will increase traffic, attention and interest to your space.  Display your company colors, a fresh new sign and you are miles ahead of the game.

3.  QR Codes
Want to bring people directly to your website?  Display a custom QR code in your booth!  These custom generated matrix barcodes when scanned by a smart phone will instantly bring the user to the programmed website. You can even set-up a website specifically for attendees of the trade show with information on how to contact you, where to obtain additional information and any show promotions you are running.  Never before has information been so literally at our fingertips, take advantage!

If you have questions about an upcoming trade show or convention, contact the experts at Total Events, the leader is Upstate Expo services!  Visit our website at www.conventionexposervices.com.

2012 Trend Report
The elements that will make your event #amazing!

1. Color
Neutral palettes are out and rich, deep tones are what’s happening in the event world!  Dark red and berry tones are all over the forecast for 2012.  Romantic and elegant these colors can turn edgy and modern with a few twists.  We can’t wait to see our wedding tents lit up with these colors bursting with our LED lighting!

2. Accents
More than ever we are seeing brides dazzle us with their knack for accessorizing their space.  Charger plates, personalized table linens, custom monogram lighting projected on the walls, ceiling and dance floor.  We just love the steps people are taking to bring their wedding up to the next level.  

3. Metallic's
There will be a shine on all of our events this year, because our clients love metallic!  Gold and Silver are popping up everywhere.  Finishing an event design with a touch of shimmer helps to reflect candle light and provide a dimensional glow that is especially romantic.  Total Events has all new centerpiece options to help you achieve this look!

4.  Family Style Seating
Long, family style seating seems to be the wave of the future.  Our Emperor tables have helped our brides achieve this feeling, with the extra width to create space for a stunning centerpieces as well as family style dining options.  This type of table also helps with conversation, making guests feel closer to each other without sacrificing a gorgeous tablescape.

5.  Ceremony Décor
