With your timely response to our email drafts, the design process is typically completed within 2-5 business days. Production of your artwork after final proof approval and can take 3-7 business days depending on the product ordered.

Here’s a quick list:
1. Digital photos or high resolution stock photography already owned
2. Your logo, preferably a scalable line-art file from Adobe Illustrator in EPS,or AI format.
3. Any text to be included within the design. This can be sent by email or as a Word Document.
4. Let us know company colors, show us your website or any branding materials you want to incorporate into the design. Branding is important so inform us if you have any guidelines that must be followed.
5. General layout, only if you already have a direction in mind. This is not mandatory, it’s okay if you just don’t know where to start because the rest is up to our brilliant team!

That is a great question! Not everyone has access to great photos - most actually don’t. That’s why sites like the 4 below are perfect to use. We’ll research what photos will work best and choose a few that will work best for not only the message you want to convey but also the layout itself. You can browse the sites if you’d like. The cost are minimal per photo credit and are added onto your design time.

Yes, there are 3 points that we can’t stress enough because you only have about 3 seconds to make your one-of-a-kind booth space the talk of the show. Period.

1. Main Marketing: The most important factor is to figure out your main marketing message. If you want your display to stand out from all of the others, it needs to be simple, yet a little "outside of the box". Try to focus on the specific product or service.

2. Clear Message: It needs to have a clear message that is read/viewed quickly and clearly, because remember you only have about 3 seconds to draw that potential customer in. Giving too much information may deter attendees from taking the time to stop at your booth.

3. Large Images: I'm sure you've heard "bigger is better", well this also applies to trade show graphics. Big, bold background images are more attractive and easy for an attendee to glance at without having to put too much effort into figuring out who you are and what you offer. Images are noticed before words, just be careful to choose the right images to portray your message properly.
