Free Refills

Offering exhibit visitors a hot beverage is a good idea. Giving them a reusable, branded giveaway that also protects them from hot cups is even better. The Cup Couture Cupcoats are insulated covers for disposable cups. The chic covers come in a variety of patterns and colors, and can be branded with a company name, logo, and color. Their sturdy materials mean the Cupcoats can be used again and again, putting your company’s name in the palm of attendees’ hands.

Video Literature

Don’t lug bundles of literature to your booth, use the I-Display from Outform Inc. instead. The 7- or 10-inch digital display screen features an informative video about your company and products, and attendees can access four additional informative videos or product features with the push of a button. The I-Display offers a variety of options for placement: Use the freestanding frame to place it on your reception desk, or use the clip to mount it on a shelf. Outform also offers a tower display option.

Green Plate Special

If you plan to serve food in your booth, why not serve it on an environmentally friendly plate? Made of biodegradable palm leaves, the Palm Leaf Dinnerware line from MarxFoods.com features a variety of shapes and sizes, including serving dishes, plates, bowls, and cutlery. Because each of the pieces are made from naturally dropped palm leaves, no harm comes to the trees; plus, the compostable dinnerware is manufactured without the use of harmful chemicals.
