I have been using freshbooks for a couple of years now to do billing for my clients. It is a simple, very professional way to do invoicing.

Well they decided to go to the HOW design conference and do a trade show booth. Instead of spending thousands of dollars on a fancy booth they did the one thing that most people wouldn’t think you would have at a design conference… an art project!

Pinnacle Trade Show Booths  on June 4th, 2008

hi JJ, I followed your post link over to freshbooks. I agree they put together a very nice trade show booth. It looks like it took a while to make, and it doesn’t seem very portable, but bottom line – it worked. It looked good, generated buzz, and got them business. I just hope they don’t start a trend of “do it yourself” trade show booths or I’ll be out of business!
PS – For anyone that wants cool graphics like that but wants to leave the work to someone else, check us out…

@Pinnacle Yeah I thought that given the context it was a great idea. And I am sure… based on what I have spent on trade show booths in the past… that you won’t be out of business anytime soon!

I followed you link to there booth and I think it looks great. When a company creates their own booth they must walk a fine line between catchy and appealing to being cheesy and unprofessional.

Hi… That gives me some great ideas.
I own a small design firm and have been using just a 10ft wide booth. I am on a budget so I carry everything in to a show myself. Recently bought a Walkon banner and stand combo from a company in Fla. (onpointvisuals.com) which makes a nice booth backdrop, but I want to add more and don’t have the money.
Now I’m thinking of a sculpture project in the middle of the booth that progresses during the course of the show. Time to call my artist friends!
