How to Stand Out at Events in 2025
As trade shows gain in popularity, competition among exhibitors increases year after year. In 2025 digital and interactive displays have become common on the trade show floor. Even if its just a tablet, most booth spaces offer some kind of interactive feature. However, product lines like Popshap offer fully customizable interactive display solutions that command attention from attendees and fellow exhibitors. Creative Imaging Displays offers full software customization along with install and dismantle for all of our digital products!
Interactive display systems require a lot more when it comes to technology, coordination, and cost. If you are looking for a traditional display system to help you stand out, consider a tower display! Our recent post covers the top 5 Tower Displays for 2025 to highlight the best options for the upcoming trade show season! We offer backlit, charging, and rotating towers that grab the attention of the attendees on the show floor! Due to the tall height and small footprint, these display systems offer a huge bang for your buck!
If you are limited on space and budget, consider upgrading your booth backwall to a backlit display system! A great way to get instant attention is to backlight all of your signage! The light box effect naturally grabs attention, but also accentuates your graphics!
