10ft Pop-Up Art

Trade Show Emporium now offers three lighting choices for 10’ pop-up displays and 8’ pop-up displays – all at no additional cost! Now available are (2) 200 watt halogen lights, (5) 75 watt incandescent lights or (2) LED lights. Previously LED lights were an upgrade, but now you can choose LED lighting for your pop-up display without paying extra.

Halogen lights are the most popular choice for pop-up displays. They offer a crisp, white light. Our halogen lights are bright, long lasting and will mount easily to the top of your frame. Incandescent lights – also known as “Las Vegas” lights – are perfect for your Las Vegas trade shows, where halogen is not permitted and bulbs can not exceed 75 watts each. The newest lighting addition – LED light fixutres – offer ultra-bright white light for improved color quality. Not only are available at the same price as the other lighting options, but they consume 15 times less energy than tradition 150 watt halogens!

Good lighting is important for a successful trade show booth. Be sure to check out more lighting options and Alumalites to make your booth shine brightly.

1. Give yourself enough time for planning and preparation. Set deadlines and think ahead. Try to avoid rush fees or expedited shipping costs (especially for heavier items such as Alumalites).
2. Send pre-show emails to loyal customers urging them to stop by your booth.
3. Utilize your Facebook and Twitter accounts before shows. Announce your location and promote contests or prizes through social media.
4. Define goals for what you want to accomplish for each show. Is your goal to test a new product and gather feedback? Generate new leads? Network?
5. Make sure everyone working in your trade show booth understands the prescribed goals.
6. Have maximum booth coverage: all staff should have a specific role and know what that role is.
7. Plan a dress code for booth staff. Appearance is your audience’s first impression. This includes both graphic design and booth attendants’ appearance.
8. Be prepared for questions. Practice asking potential questions to employees who will be running your trade show booth.
9. Make copies of set up instructions for trade show products such as kiosks, pop-ups, LCD TV stands and anything else you will be bringing with you. Be familiar with set-up instructions for quick assembly and break-down.
10. Have a system for tracking hot leads and likely customers. Make sure to follow up to turn leads into sales!
