Skeptics would say that a convention is about business and not style. These skeptics are wrong. From the moment we step out of bed, the decisions we make are based on what looks good. Clothes, food, cars, houses… we live in a world of coveting what looks desirable. A trade show is no different. Let Total Events style your next convention so that attendees will want to be there.
The main element of a trade show is the exhibitor booths and if they look boring, so does your show. Total Events has the solution for these boring booths. Our extensive collection of fabrics and drapery colors and styles combined with unique linens to replace that dull table skirting will flip the generic trade show floor on its head. Now that we have the bones of your event amped up, we can focus on the details.
Signage is important when promoting a business or product; take the opportunity to make it great. Custom balloons are also a great way to grab attention and spread the word about your business or product. Total Events can create custom signage and promotional balloons for your vendors, adding to the distinctive design of their space.
Making the space inviting for attendees is a major component to keep them on the show floor as long as possible. Create an attendee lounge for guests to rest their weary bones in. Given a few minutes to relax and enjoy a refreshment will rejuvenate your crowd and persuade them to take another lap through the show space to check back in on any exhibits they may have missed the first time around.
Give guests a break from business and let me relax. Total Events can accommodate Casino tables, Carnival games and other entertainment requests for your upcoming event. Adding some amusement will lighten the mood and enhance the friendly vibe of the tradition. Encouraging guests to let their hair down and network more socially takes the pressure off of what can be a dry, tense environment.

Trendy
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!

Attending a convention can sometimes be intimidating if you are going it alone and don’t know other people at the show. Total Events can offer you the most exciting tool to remedy this common problem, a Casino Night! You may now slap your forehead and mutter “Why didn’t I think of that?” several times.
A Total Events Casino Night is the ideal tool for networking functions. There are no awkward silences or cliques of people hovering around the same cocktail table. With a Casino Night the action is at the tables and people can make casual conversation as they (pause for reaction) enjoy themselves! There is no better way to present yourself than organically, as you have a good time. This scenario casts a great light on everyone, from the host of the party to the attendee who is hoping to expand their business contacts.
Perhaps you have done a “Vegas Night” before and want something new a different. We have that too. We can switch this theme in a dozen ways. Total Events also offers a Wild West Gambling Saloon, Disco Gaming Lounge, Island gaming theme, or a Video Horse Racing party. Creating a fantasy inside the networking space will encourage participants to come out of their shells and embrace the chance to meet new people in a stress free manner. Total Events takes all of the guess-work out of booking your next event with our custom Casino packages tailored to events of all sizes!
