An old-fashioned raffle drawing can build excitement in your booth, especially when attendees are dropping their tickets or business cards into a Raffle Theme Drum from Thermopro Inc. Its three raffle drum designs offer a visual appeal that can easily tie into your messaging. For example, the football drum reinforces a sports analogy, the drum that looks like planet Earth can underscore an eco-friendly message, and the drum plastered with images of paper money can coincide with a variety of financial themes. Each raffle drum includes space for a custom graphic. Contact: Thermopro Inc., Duluth, GA, 800-523-5542, www.prize-wheel.com

Transform the walls of your booth into a work of art with a custom mural from Art on a Grand Scale. The New York-based company retains more than 30 artists whose styles range from caricature and modernist movements to photography. Your chosen artist creates a small-scale version of the mural, which is then scanned and enlarged using digital technology. The image is printed on the selected material, such as vinyl, Sintra, acoustical fabric, and more, and the finished product can be hung on an exhibit wall. The entire process can take as little as four weeks, and murals can be shipped worldwide for installation. Contact: Art on a Grand Scale, New York, 212-223-9545, www.artonagrandscale.com


Off-floor exhibit-promotion signage — be it on the side of a bus, on top of a taxi, or on the convention center’s exterior wall — is a good way to build awareness throughout the show’s locale. But unless the signage includes lighting, your message is lost at night. The CeeLite LEC panels using Eastman Chemical Co.’s patented Encapsulation Technology present a bright, uniformly lit option that can withstand harsh weather conditions. The ultra-thin plastic sheets, which come in a variety of sizes, can incorporate a variety of images, textiles, and botanicals into the signage.

Delivering an in-booth presentation can turn into a juggling act, what with pointing out the important facts on the screen, advancing to the next image, and staying focused. With Jasper Laser’s new Keynote Presentation laser, it’s a whole lot easier to keep all the balls in the air. The ergonomic, wireless device uses a green laser to call attention to key information on the screen, while buttons allow you to advance the presentation to the next page. It also incorporates radio-frequency technology so it doesn’t have to be pointed directly at the computer to function properly. Contact: Jasper Laser, Corvallis, OR, 877-388-7362, www.jasperlaser.com

Hanging an exhibit graphic doesn’t have to require brackets, nails, clips, or screws. With Adchem Corp.’s 8311M-76G permanent/removable mounting adhesive, it’s as simple as peel and stick. Attach the permanent adhesive tape to the back of the graphic, peel off the protective covering from the removable-adhesive side and stick the graphic to the wall. The moisture-resistant adhesive offers a clean, removable bond to adhere graphics and signs to glass, polycarbonates, and other hard surfaces. The adhesive comes in rolls up to 54 inches wide and has a shelf life of one year. Contact: Adchem Corp., Riverhead, NY, 631-727-6000, www.adchem.com
