Trade Show Tips


Participating in a trade show is a big investment.  Have you done everything you can to make sure you get a return on this investment? 

Let’s see, you’ve picked a high-traffic location—ideally a corner spot that has traffic in two intersecting directions.  Your booth attendants are outgoing, knowledgeable and look professional.  You’ve brought an assortment of colorful, professionally-printed material about your company and products.

What about the all-important “giveaways”?  Ideally you should offer a combination of logo items and non-logo pieces.  The smartest non-logo giveaways are things like candy and mints.  In a business setting, everyone wants to have a supply of breath mints in their pocket as well as a small stash of bite-size chocolates to get them through the next breakout session!Advertising Mint/Candy/Gum Box with Signature Peppermints

For a longer lasting impact, be sure to also offer logo giveaways that the attendees will want to snag.  That means they must be useful or unique items.  Office supplies and kitchen gadgets work very well.  Look at your office desk or on the side of your home refrigerator.  See what I mean?  When was the last time anyone bought a ballpoint pen or highlighter?  Just like you, I have a drawer full of them and 90% or more have a logo—they’re irresistible!   Notebook with Flags & Sticky Notes

Remember also that many attendees will be returning home to a spouse and children.  They don’t want to be empty handed when asked, “What did you bring me?”  (Hmmm, bag clips, golf balls, note pads, tools for the grownups; yo-yos, toys, coloring books, sponge balls for the kids.)Value Gusset Tote / Bag

Finally, for an even bigger booth impact, how about an interactive game like a roulette wheel or a miniature golf hole?  There’s nothing like having a competitive crowd gathered at your booth to draw even more folks over!Black Mini Prize Wheel (Tabletop) - 20.5

A Word in the Hand is Worth…a Lot


Sometimes you just need to put a piece of paper or a brochure in the hands of a client or potential customer.  You can’t always count on them to pull up your website, fan page or blog to learn more about you and your products and services. 

While he probably wasn’t talking about business-related material, more than 100 years ago, French author Jules Renard pointed out a huge advantage of printed pieces, “Writing is a way of talking without being interrupted.”  A brochure or sales sheet is your chance to get your message out just as you want it—without debate or distraction.

It’s important to get it right, so just as with websites and other online marketing, printed material must be attractive, well-written and professionally produced.

Multi Media Promotions has a full line of printing and binding services, producing everything from simple one-page sales sheets to multi-fold multicolor brochures to bound publications.  Plus, we partner with top-notch writers and designers to be your one-stop single source vendor for all things printed.

And don’t forget that after it rolls off our presses, we can help you get your material in the right hands with our full line of direct mail services.

Low Cost – High Impact Items


Multi Media Promotions has all the price points covered.  But let’s talk about some options for memorable economy items, say for a high volume trade show.  Quick…how many magnetic clips do you have on your refrigerator at home or at the office?  Still, no one can resist stopping by a booth to pick up another one!  Jumbo Magnetic ClipThe favorite seems to be this line of spring loaded colored plastic magnetic clips with gripping teeth and an extra strong magnetic back.  Even the heavier items won’t slide to the floor!  The clips come with a generous imprint area for your logo and message.

Or, how about the new design of staple pullers? The Ultimate Staple Lifter Yes, they’ve built a better mouse-trap—this new style does a much better job of avoiding paper tears.  These are available in multiple colors with several logo printing options.Letter Opener & Keyboard/Screen Sweeper

Letter openers are another tried and true high volume promotional item.  We have a variety of them in different shapes and sizes.  But one of the neatest ones we’ve seen is this combination letter opener and computer screen sweeper.  Don’t you wish YOU’D thought of that?!  This item does double duty so your name is out there twice as much!

Fair Labor-new rules for California


Migration, Modern-day Slavery and the California Transparency in Supply Chains Act
The California Transparency in Supply Chains Act, which goes into effect on January 1, 2012, will require certain retail sellers and manufacturers doing business in California to disclose their efforts to eradicate slavery and human trafficking from their supply chains. The FLA has developed a guide to provide affiliates with more information on the requirements of the Act, and how affiliation with FLA may help in meeting disclosure requirements. It also includes a basic step-by-step guide on how to develop a disclosure web page, which FLA company affiliates may wish to use as a tool when considering how to meet the disclosure requirements. The Act will provide consumers with more information and help them leverage their purchasing power to eradicate slavery and trafficking from product supply chains. Download the guide and read more about FLA’s forum for stakeholders and Notre Dame students, faculty and staff.
