Graphics & Enhancements: Turning Stands into Statements

Written by GES Marketing | Nov 26, 2025 3:00:36 PM

Exhibitors don’t buy square metres of carpet. They buy the chance to be noticed, and the difference between being noticed and being ignored often comes down to graphics and enhancements.

A booth is a box. Graphics turn it into a brand. Enhancements - lighting, counters, hanging signs, digital screens - turn it into a stage.

Handled badly, they’re clutter. Handled well, they’re the difference between a quiet corner and a buzzing hub.

Visibility is currency

Exhibitors spend months preparing products. If nobody sees them, what was the point? Graphics that tower, light that attracts, and counters that invite conversation all drive visibility.

Pro tip: Encourage exhibitors to think vertical. Hanging signs or tall graphics punch above the clutter and make finding them easier.

➡️ Did you know? We offer enhancements from booth backlighting to reusable signage that lift exhibitors above the noise.

Branding without words

Visitors skim. They don’t have time to read mission statements. Graphics do the work in seconds: colours, images, typefaces - they all say “professional” or “forgettable.”

Pro tip: Advise exhibitors to invest in one clear, bold message per panel. Too much text is as bad as none.

➡️ Did you know? Our large-format print team translate brands into visuals that stick. With on-site support for those last-minute saves that turn failure into success.

Enhancements as engagement

A counter is not just furniture. It’s an invitation to stop. A booths backlighting is not just illumination. It’s a magnet. Enhancements guide behaviour as much as they improve aesthetics.

Pro tip: Map where visitors enter and exit spaces. Place counters, lightboxes and content where they’ll naturally pause.

➡️ Did you know? We supply fully printed counters, furniture, and content displays designed to turn traffic into engagement.

Sustainability still speaks

Nobody wants to be seen binning PVC graphics three days after the show. Recyclable substrates, modular signage, and reusable enhancements reduce waste and signal responsibility.

Pro tip: Promote eco-options as upgrades in the exhibitor manual. Exhibitors love looking green - especially when it’s easy.

➡️ Did you know? We print on recyclable materials and supply reusable enhancements, with post-event recycling included in the service.

Graphics and enhancements are not extras. They are the levers that turn exhibitor spend into exhibitor success.

Handled well, they elevate a stand. Handled badly, they waste the organiser’s most precious asset: visitor attention.
