Floor Graphics
If you’re short on space, consider utilising floor graphics. They are a great for event flow but can also add some much-needed colour and decorative flair to a space. Floor graphics can also be used as another sponsorship or branding opportunity. Make sure your floor graphics are durable as they will see a lot of foot traffic throughout an event, so you want them to last.

Just make sure that your social media photo zone has your logo, brand colours, related hashtags and handles clearly displayed to maximise brand advertisement.
Directional Signage
For larger events, directional signage is a must have. It helps to manage the flow of traffic and helps attendees navigate the space. Not only can directional signage be practical, but it’s another chance for you to showcase your creative side through design, colour and even the names on the signage.
Flexi Stands
If you have a stand at an event or exhibition, you will often be given a ‘plot’ with a specific measurement. This ‘plot’ can vary in size, often limiting the ability to erect large structures. If you want an easy signage solution that can adapt to different spaces, them a flexi stand is ideal.
These flexible display stands are very adaptable. The modular design allows you to begin with a single stand and then add additional units if needed, to create a larger, bespoke display. They often consist of separate stands and panels with smaller joining panels which can flex and bend, enabling the stand to be positioned in many different configurations.
