 Resembling a space-age weapon straight out of a science-fiction movie, the Elar Image X image projector from Elation Professional is a tiny projector with enough power to throw a sharp gobo across most trade show booths. When projected from a 10-foot distance, the gobo measures nearly 3 feet across, and moving the projector to 20 feet away, the resulting gobo measures 5 feet wide. The projector fits in the palm of your hand and has the brightness equal to a 250-watt halogen projector.

 A 10-by-10 booth space doesn’t offer a lot of real estate to showcase product portfolios or visual aids. Saunders Mfg. Co. Inc.’s RingMate portable desktop display, which doubles as a three-ring binder, allows you to present your materials even in the tightest of spaces. The RingMate, a hard-sided portfolio, not only keeps your presentation materials safe and organized when the plastic binder is closed, but when it’s opened, the spine locks, ensuring your presentation materials don’t fall down on the job.

Make your trade show booth the place to be with ShootBooth, a one-of-a-kind photo booth that makes full-sized prints for your visitors. The ShootBooth looks like a giant, 8-foot-tall, 7-foot-long antique camera, but inside it offers a fun activity attendees won’t forget. The interior can be customized by adding music or even changing the backdrop. Up to six people can fit in the booth, where they can pose for photographs and use the WriteLight setup. The WriteLight gives guests 10 seconds after the flash to use the patented light pen to write or sketch on a plastic two-way mirror in front of the camera, ultimately creating words or drawings on the finished photograph.

For VIP booth visitors, a promotional pen or USB drive just doesn’t cut it. So to let them know how much you value them, give them an award-winning wine with your company’s name on the label. Simply pick a special-blended vintage from Northwest Cellars LLC and send the Washington-state winemaker your logo or other chosen artwork. The winery can then design and attach a label using your artwork, or you can create your own label design for the bottle.
