What is a Trade Show?

A trade show is a gathering of multiple business entities for purposes or exposure for in house or common advertising purposes. Companies large and small frequently send their representative out to trade show conventions to promote their newly designed ideas through trade show displays. These trade show promotions are displayed in trade show booths set up in designated areas within the trade show exhibit booths. Modular trade shows are those trade show displays that provide stylish structure coupled with the logo or trade show graphic marketing the merchandise of the business on display at the trade show. These modular displays at trade shows provide banners, trade show signs, and lighting among other structural techniques to promote beneficial results from trade show displays. These modular trade show rentals are custom trade show booths designed specific to the trade show participant's needs.

Trade show items include merchandise items for sale or services provided for businesses. Trade show exhibit displays allow businesses and entrepreneurs to showcase this merchandise and services through trade show exhibit booths.
