View available colors chart.

How long will my display last?
For many years, if handled properly. The graphics can be easily updated as your products and messages change.

What are the most important considerations in planning a trade show booth?
With so many companies competing for your potential client's attention at a trade show, it is important for your trade show booth to look attractive and draw attention, clearly showing WHO YOU ARE and WHAT YOU'RE SELLING. Often you have only a few seconds to grab a potential client's attention before they walk on past. Attractive displays and large format graphics help grab the prospects attention!

Which display is best for me, a floor model or table top?
Most people find floor displays the most effective, and they feel they get the most impact for the investment. The floor models usually create larger, more attractive, eye-catching displays than the tabletops. Additionally, you avoid the renting or search for tables to use. The 10' pop-up is probably the most popular display in the industry.

Do I have to use a Velcro or Frontrunner (fabric) type display?
No, for maximum attention you can use huge graphics instead of fabric, or you can use a combination of graphics and fabric. You can start with fabric to hang your graphics on then later switch to graphics (in place of the fabric). If you plan to use the display and your company has several products or services to offer, you may wish to use fabric and hang your graphics on the fabric with velcro tabs. That way you can have alternate cases of graphics and simply take the appropriate ones with you.
