    Know your target audience. As a marketer, you already know just this adage all too well. But sometimes even the best of us forget to keep grounded in our audience’s perspective when inspiration strikes. Keep your audience in mind with every design decision to ensure the final output resonates strongly with them.

    Establish the emotion you want targeted traffic to feel. How do you want the people that visit your booth to feel when they walk away-excited, relaxed, trusting? It's really a traditional feeling or a more abstract concept. Either way, design with that feeling in mind. For example, at one of our trade shows, we would have liked visitors to think, is super cool, and I enjoyed my time inside their booth. So we incorporated a few interactive activities like a Tetris game and a wooden puzzle bar, where visitors could sit and spend time with us while lightly engaged in gameplay.

    Give visitors choices for interacting with your brand/team. Keeping in mind your audience, consider several ways they can interact with your team. For example, while your first instinct might be to make everything at the booth digital, not everyone responds the same to a digital-centric experience. Consider some analog activities for visitors who either aren’t tech savvy or just want the opportunity to disconnect.

    Be purposeful and artistic with your signage. Attendees know the difference in between prizes you’ve bought for attention versus items that tie in with your brand. Swag should be memorable, meaningful, and on-brand.
