Question: How to Confidently Manage Your Event Planning Long-Distance?

Answer: Hire a local company that’s been there and done that countless times!

You’re an event planner and you love it. As the conductor waving your wand over suppliers, you thrive on the pressure of managing your event that’s going to take place in Denver from your East Coast location. So on the checklist with all your large format printing needs listed, choose a locally based, proven printer, and keep your focus on putting bodies in the seats.

In the early stages of your event planning, taking a virtual walk-through of any venue without flying out is a great option to increase your comfort level. Plan and address those details of the visual path your attendees will take using a variety of apps like Google Duo, Tango and ooVoo Video Call. These walk-throughs from your out-of-state location are a breeze with a local printer! And, a local printer will know the venues rule and regs for hanging signs, options for wayfinding signs, podium signage, oversized agendas, oversized speaker promo boards and trade show booths. 
Hiring local also gives you the benefit their familiarity with the in’s and out’s of delivering to all the big venues and hotels around the metro area. For example, at the Colorado Convention Center, deliveries for trade show booths without being an attendee must go to a specific security gate to ensure the delivery gets to the booth in very short order. Conversely, at The Denver Mart, print vendors can hand-carry deliveries right to your meeting room or booth.

How to Get Your Staff Excited About Working Trade Shows

Present the most eye-catching, stop-in-your-tracks booth graphics!

Before the doors open and all those wonderful potential customers flood into the event hall, a lot of the hard work is done. The planning, “should we invest in a full booth or create a booth-in-box?” and most importantly what to “say” with booth graphics will be decided along with considerations such as should an event within the event be sponsored? Who will work the booth? Who will handle the set up and tear down?

Trade shows are hard work but with the right messages presented in an interesting way, you can have booth graphics that stop prospects in their tracks or at least slow them down. Then, booth staff can feel more comfortable approaching prospects who have already engaged with your business even at a minimal level and they’re more likely to listen to the 15-20 second pitch your staffer has on the tip of their tongue.

Let’s say you are a company that is going to do numerous regional shows. A booth-in-box; a back wall banner, a table skirt and throw with a couple of pop-up banners may offer enough flexibility in booth size and placement to be an affordable, luggable option for a start-up. If you are more established, it might be time to invest in bigger, more complex booth properties. 

Choose Your Vendor from Design through Delivery

Since your booth properties are an investment, it will be worth-while to spend some time choosing your printer/producer. Longer-term relationships such as these are valuable and will save you time and ultimately money. You want a vendor that understands the context the properties will show in and that they are producing investment properties that will be used over and over. So not only do they have to be visually a stand-out, they need to pack and travel well too.

Plan and produce every over-sized print piece together. For example, if you’re sponsoring a happy hour, you’ve purchased a signage opportunity so a simple but interesting banner with your logo on it, of course, with a drinks on us sentiment hanging overhead can make enough of a statement. Having one printer produce all the items for an event will ensure continuity in the look and feel of the pieces--not to mention perfect color matches.

Make your staff feel proud and excited to represent your company confidently by choosing well-designed, colorful, show properties and it will pay off in goodwill and in leads!


Great. Big. Graphics. It’s what we do.
