Ace Tips: How to Choose the Right Display for Your event Goals

If you're planning your next event, you’ve probably asked yourself:


What kind of display should I use?


You're not alone in asking this! It's a common concern for first-time exhibitors and seasoned marketers alike.


Start With the Big Picture

Before you pick out banners, backlit panels, or full booths, ask yourself:

  • What is the main goal of your booth?
  • How big is your event space?
  • What budget do you have for your setup?
  • How do you want attendees to interact with your booth?

Answering these will help narrow down your options fast and avoid overspending or under-delivering.

Display Types

Here’s a breakdown of the most popular event and trade show display types, and when to use each:

Lightweight, portable, and super sleek. Perfect for modern branding and frequent use.

Quick setup, great impact. A smart choice if you need something fast and reliable.

Stand out with illuminated graphics that grab attention, even in low-light venues.

Simple, affordable, and effective. Use them alone or combined for added presence.

Want a polished, all-in-one solution? Display kits bundle everything into a cohesive layout with maximum visual appeal.
