When words get in the way

by Marketing 10/15/2008 2:59:00 AM

“The single toughest challenge in creating a great tradeshow display is eliminating 97% of the words.”  (Jared McCarthy, McCarthy Creative)

For your display to be compelling, try a minimalist approach in creating your message. The fewer words you use, the more effective. Experts recommend that you come up with a strong, five-word message. It may take a lot of brainstorming, but it’s sure to get more attention on the show floor.

Keep in mind that you have only a two-second window to grab the attendees’ attention. Designing tradeshow graphics is different than designing a brochure. Less is more.

Although you do need words to help get your message across, studies show graphics and pictures as gaining more attention and promoting an inviting feeling.

As suggested in this blog, keep your trade show slogan short, and straight to the point.
