Let’s be honest: generic trade show booths setup are boring, and they don’t do much to boost sales because they don’t attract many potential customers.
The good news is that there is no limit to how many creative backdrop design ideas you can come up with and use to turn your booth from one that isn’t very attractive into one that is very interesting.
After saying that, here’s what’s going on. Many exhibitors might find the idea of coming up with new design ideas scary because they think it will take a lot of time and could even be more expensive.
But that’s not how things really are. There are a lot of different designs for trade show backdrops, and most of them are inexpensive and easy to put together.
If you’re having trouble coming up with something appropriate and unique that will make your trade show booth stand out from the rest, take a look at some of these amazing ideas to get some inspiration.
Tips for implementing a great backdrop design
But before we get started, let’s look at three helpful tips for making a great backdrop design.
Graphic Real Estate
Know that some parts of your exhibit will look better than others and draw more attention. The back wall of your room is a good example.
If you have a small to medium-sized booth, adding the logo of your business, a design element, and messages to this graphic “real estate” can do a lot to bring people to your booth. This is especially true if you don’t have a very big booth.
Textured Backdrops
In recent years, the cost of printing in color has gone down a lot. This gives exhibitors a great chance to build and add eye-catching event backdrops to their booths, and they should definitely take advantage of this chance.
When you use printed backdrops for your booth, you can switch them out for different trade show events. This will make sure that your booth doesn’t look the same at every show.
All you need is a printed backdrop to open up a world of possibilities. Just make sure it doesn’t mess up your brand. Use printed backdrops to add to the message your business wants to send.
Use High-Res Images
If the image on your backdrop is blurry, that’s the last thing you want. Before you print anything, you should make sure that professionals have made high-resolution, correctly formatted photos.
The only thing that could be worse than not having a backdrop for your booth is having an image on the back wall of your booth that is too big and has too many pixels.
Inspirational design ideas for event backdrops
The following are five extremely eye-catching ideas for backdrops that will help you achieve your marketing objectives, attract potential consumers, and amaze them.
Backlit Displays
Consider using a backlit system with high-definition graphics, like the Expolight Backlit Display, to add the “wow” factor you’ve been looking for to your booth design.
The backdrop will give your trade show booth a completely new and up-to-date look. It will also catch people’s attention from a long way away on the exhibition floor.
Backlit displays make it easy to switch between different images quickly. Each image could represent a different part of your business, like its logo, message, or products.
Since the frames of the display are so light, putting it together is easy and takes only a few minutes. If your trade show booth has a backlit display, you can be sure that it won’t only come in one arrangement.
Instead, the different parts of the frame can be moved around to make many different interesting arrangements.
The Expolight backlight display is easy to set up and doesn’t require any tools at any point.
This backdrop comes in many different shapes and sizes, such as floor models, countertop models, podium models, L-shaped podium models, and a variety of curved shapes.
Pop-Up Displays
A pop-up display is one of the easiest backgrounds to set up, and it is also a good alternative to the more common carpeting panel displays.
The cloth that covers pop-up displays can have a single design or several different ones. The upholstered panels can be rolled up and magnetically attached to an expanding accordion frame that opens up as the panels are put together.
You are welcome to look at all of our pop-ups, which all have a warranty that lasts a lifetime.
You can choose from a huge number of options, such as the affordable OneFabric Hook & Loop pop-ups, the eye-catching 3D Multi-Skin pop-ups, and Embrace pop-up displays in different sizes.
Rigid Tube Frames with Tension Fabric Displays
Rigid tube frames are put together with several aluminum tubes. The tubes are made so that they can slide into each other and click into place.
Over the existing structure, printed tension fabrics with your brand’s slogan or logo are draped to make the backdrop.
Because they can be put together in so many different ways, this option gives you a lot of freedom.
They are quick and easy to put together and take apart because you don’t need any special tools to do either.
Multi-Quad Modular Stands
A multi-quad modular stand is a good choice for businesses that want a backdrop that can be changed in almost an infinite number of ways.
Multi-quad systems not only let you make almost any backdrop you can think of, but they also make it easy to make beautiful exhibition displays.
Even though the multi-quads look heavy and strong, they are actually lightweight, portable, and easy to change.
You can come up with your own. You can choose from many different options that work with different screens, such as an LCD monitor, cloth, graphic, shelf, or wood grain. All of these choices are open to you.
Roll-Up Banner
Roll-up banners are something to think about if you want a backdrop design that doesn’t need a hardware frame.
These kinds of displays also go by the names pull-up banners and retractable banner stands. As a result of the presence of a wind-up mechanism at the base, the flag can be wound up and stowed within the base.
To set up a banner, all you have to do is pull or roll up the vinyl or fabric banner away from the base and hold it up with the pole that comes with it.
You can buy a single roll-up banner like the Blade Lite, which is one of our best-selling products, or a magnetic banner wall like the Rollo Diamond Banner Stand, which has magnetic plates in both the base and the top, making it easy to connect the banners and make a graphic wall.
Final words
If you spend money on making a custom display for a trade show, your business will get a lot out of it.
A custom backdrop design will not only help you get your marketing message across, but it will also be a valuable asset that you can use for more than one exhibition.
With a custom booth, you can choose a layout that was made just for you to show off your unique items, designs, and deals.
To put it another way, when a potential client walks into your custom booth setup, they will have an experience that is unmatched in terms of how unique it is to your business.
