Printed Promotional Materials for Your Booth
Every exhibitor needs a few core pieces of printed marketing material. Here's what to bring and why each one matters.
Business Cards
You'll hand out more business cards at a single trade show than in a typical month at the office. Make them memorable with a premium stock like suede, raised spot UV or painted edge business cards. Add a QR code on the back that links to a show-specific landing page so you can track leads from the event.
Rack Cards and Postcards
Rack cards are tall, slim and easy to slide into a bag or a literature holder. Postcards work well for show specials, demo invitations and post-show follow-up mailers. Try thick 16pt postcards or eye-catching raised foil postcards to stand out in a stack of swag.
Sell Sheets, Flyers and Brochures
Product specs, pricing tiers and case studies belong on a sell sheet. For a bigger story, a tri-fold brochure or half-fold brochure fits your full offering into a pocket-sized format. Browse all flyers and brochures.
Presentation Folders
For serious buyers and distributors, a 9x12 presentation folder keeps your sell sheets, pricing and business card together in one professional package. Premium finishes like silk and Akuafoil presentation folders signal quality before they even open it.
Catalogs and Booklets
If you sell a large product line, a saddle stitch catalog or perfect bound catalog gives buyers a reference they'll keep on their desk all year. Shorter pieces work well as custom booklets.
Custom Promotional Giveaways with Your Logo
Printed handouts inform. Branded giveaways get remembered. Pair your marketing materials with a few custom promotional giveaways that people use long after the show:
- Die cut stickers, sticker sheets and glitter stickers for laptops, water bottles and notebooks
- Custom magnets and magnet business cards that stick to fridges and filing cabinets
- Branded calendars, especially for fall and winter shows heading into the new year
- Custom notepads for the desk, the clipboard and the conference session
- SPF15 lip balm, hand sanitizer and microfiber cloths as pocket-sized corporate giveaways
See the full lineup on our trade show promo products page.
Handouts That Drive Booth Traffic
Printed pieces can also pull people into your booth, not just send them away with information.
- Raffle and prize drawings:Variable numbering event tickets make drawings easy to run and track.
- Pre-show mailers: Send direct mail postcards to your customer list with your booth number and a "bring this card for a free gift" offer.
- Scratch-and-scan offers: Put a QR code on a social card that unlocks a show-only discount.
- Table signage:Table tents and counter cards tell visitors what to do next: scan, sign up or ask for a demo.
Tips for Better Trade Show Handouts
- Lead with one message. Pick the single thing you want prospects to remember and make it the headline of every printed piece.
- Include a clear next step. A URL, QR code, phone number or show-only offer gives people a reason to follow up.
- Keep it light. Most attendees fly home. Thin, compact handouts survive; heavy binders get left behind.
- Match your booth. Use the same colors, fonts and imagery as your trade show graphics so everything reads as one brand.
- Print a little extra. Running out on day two is far more expensive than storing leftover cards for the next show.
