 The Brandbooth by R World Enterprises combines graphic signs with a serving counter in a unique cylindrical package. The tube-like structure features a doorway for easy access into the interior space, which is large enough to store various items and still have plenty of room for a person to dispense samples through its window. Available in “can” or “cup” shapes, the Brandbooth is an 8-foot-tall aluminum structure that is wrapped with a stretch-polyester fabric graphic that can be customized with your artwork. The 48-inch footprint means the Brandbooth will easily fit into even a 10-by-10-foot booth space, or it can be used at events or as a separate element within a larger booth. It sets up and breaks down in 30 minutes and comes with a reusable, rolling carrying case.

 With so many attendees walking around carrying smart phones, it makes good business sense to make your company’s information accessible to those devices. The Virtual Totebag from BDMetrics Inc. is a solution that enables attendees to request, receive, and share trade show collateral and other company information by using their smart phones. Plus, because it eliminates the need for printed collateral literature, it’s an environmentally friendly option. In-booth signage directs attendees to review and select the information they want and use their phone to send a text message with the code that corresponds to the desired literature. Attendees then receive a confirmation text that gives them a separate code to use when signing into the Virtual Totebag Web site. Once they log onto the Web page using the code, attendees find the requested material ready for them to download to their computer.
