Planning a GREEN Tradeshow Booth!
Tradeshows are a staple in the marketing plans of most companies. However, they can have quite an impact on the environment when you add up vinyl banners, giveaways, printed materials, flooring and temporary furniture. While some of these things are unavoidable, there are alternatives for better options.
First off, banners and displays. Most booths will play host to at least 2-3 large sized signage pieces that are made out of plastics and vinyl and typically have metal bases and hardware. One choice is moving to fabric displays, where your company’s images are printed on a large sheet of fabric, which can be organic cotton canvas. Another option looks and feels like the traditional banners, but are made using biodegradable vinyl and displayed using recycled aluminum bases. Both of these options are extremely durable and light weight, making them the perfect choice for travel and set up.
Moving on to the swag and printed materials, it’s no secret that everyone loves a freebie. That being said, there are tons of new promotional items available that have the environmental twist. You can get pens made from corn, led flashlight key chains, reusable cotton bags, recycled notebooks, recycled coasters, and the list goes on! Likewise with all of your printed materials, all brochures, business cards, folders and info packs can be completed using recycled and/or FSC certified stocks.
Overall, although planning a green tradeshow booth can take a bit more research, the choices are certainly there. This is something we hope to see more companies embrace going forward, making tradeshows a better experience for everyone, including the planet!
