Trade Show Tips If You're Exhibiting

• Do your research to select the best show for business development. Talk to colleagues who have attended the same show before you make final plans.
• Read the promotional brochures as soon as they arrive. Take advantage of early-bird discounts on booth space, travel and hotel accommodations. Try to book a booth in a busy aisle near a big corporate booth that will attract lots of traffic.
• When you receive the exhibitor's kit, read it carefully. There are many confusing forms to fill out. You'll usually have to deal with two or more companies; one producing the conference and another responsible for renting equipment, phone lines and electrical power. In many cities, you will be hiring union workers to carry your displays and materials in and out of the convention center.
• If you can't afford to buy a custom display, be creative and make one. Create a "Studio" on the expo floor by renting stools and bringing along your own backdrop, lights, cameras and glossy "Tell Your Story" posters. Most booths come with one draped table, a few chairs and a trash can. Luice Design can print out some nice large format posters for you!
• Create a realistic budget. Consider travel expenses: ground transportation, accommodations (ask employees to share rooms if possible), meals, snacks, giveaways and the cost of being out of the office for a few days.
• Create a press kit or a press release and make sure it gets into the press room or distributed at the press conferences. Ask the show's press reps to arrange introductions to the reporters covering the show. Try to set up interviews in advance with local radio and newspaper reporters.
• Set up a schedule that lets you work in the booth part of the day. You also need time to walk the floor to make contacts.
• Bring a clever giveaway. Like some unique Metal Business Cards.
• Bring a supply of chocolate or mints to serve as magnets to passersby.
• Bring your friendliest employees. You want high-energy, happy people in your booth. They must be well-groomed, attentive and not chewing gum, sitting or talking to each other.

Trade Show Tips If You're Attending

• No matter how tired you are, attend a few seminars and all the group meals. Target industry leaders and contacts you want to meet. Spend some time each day circulating and schmoozing.
• When you finally catch up with a person you wanted to meet, ask them to join you outside the hall where it's quieter. If it's an industry leader, you will only have a few minutes to make an impression before they are distracted or led away.
• Speak to as many people as you can while waiting in buffet or bathroom lines. You never know who will turn out to be a great contact.
• If a reporter or producer approaches you, give them a good quote for their story.
• Rather than carrying around heavy brochures, collect the cards of serious prospects. Say, "So many people were interested in my products, I've already given all my brochures away. But, I'd love to send you one as soon as I get back to the office."
• Distribute postcards. Unlike a heavy brochure, postcards are light and easy to carry. They are also very inexpensive to print. For about $300, you can get 5,000 postcards made by Luice Design Creative Print Studio.
• Bring three times as many business cards as you think you will need and a set of Metal Business Cards for the Very Important Prospects.
• Wear comfortable clothes and a jacket with pockets. I keep my cards in one pocket to hand out. I store cards given to me in the other pocket. Bring a Sharpie to insure you can write on any type of business card that is giving to you.
• If you don't have a stylish, comfortable outfit to make a good impression, go shopping before the show.Ro

You've worked hard all year to grow your business in a down economy. Reward yourself with a new and unique business card that reflect all the hard work and passion you put into your business. Browse our website or just call us and tell us what you've always wanted for a business card and we will get it done for you. Some popular options have been the full color foil process business cards. This is a new product that allows you to create full color foil on the business card. How is this done??? Simple… we place silver foil on the business card first then overprint the CMYK giving the illusion of Full Color Foil! We also have this option with Metallic Silver!

The matte finished business card took a back seat to the super high gloss of UV coating in the early 2000's. It's back in style now! These classic styled full color business cards are printed on a high quality 14 point matte/dull coated card stock. The smooth matte finished stock allows the ink to soak into the card stock causing a reduction in smudges and finger prints, but not limiting the sharpness of the reproduction. This card will make your first impression a memorable one.

At Luice Design we offer lots of cool products for you and your clients. Take a look at all the new materials we can print, foil stamp and emboss on! We only have quality products for quality clients. If you have any questions just call us and we'll help you set up your file or just talk some shop!

Metal business cards too intense for you but paper just isn't thick enough? Well then, I believe we have the solution! Presenting full color plastic business cards! That's right PLASTIC! The pictured cards are 30MIL, about the thickness of a credit card and just damn nice looking. You can also get these with foil stamping on them if you so choose.

I've mentioned how bad ass our Luice Design Full Color Printing products are many, many times. There's no denying it either… we are the creative printing group to use if you want your business card or brochures to stand out.

We found out that our metal business cards are slightly dangerous. We were on our lunch break at the office on Friday and we had a contest to see who could peg one of metal business cards into the wall.
I won…. naturally.

Ladies and gentlemen today I would like to talk to you about something that is important not only to me, but to you too. Design.

Luice Design Full Colour Printing wants to help all you graphic designers get the best printing for your designs, whether we are the ones who designed or not. You'd be amazed at how many very very talented designers out there who have sent us some great stuff to have printed in various formats. What I want to talk about today is the foil stamp. When designing something you'd like to have foil stamped you have to remember that very fine detail isn't the best idea. You have to remember that a foil stamp is literally a stamp that is pressed into the card using a metal die. Any very fine detail in your design will be lost during this process and probably not look all that good. Unfortunate but true.

If you have a design you want to be foil stamped and it's a very involved design, I'd suggest that you try the full colour printing foil process instead. It's still foil, just done in a different way. The foil is printed onto the card in the shape of your design and then the inks are printed on top of everything so anything that doesn't have foil below it will just be normal printed ink and the foil will stand out quite nicely. Finish it off with a glossy UV coating and you're all set!

Another suggestion would be to check out the full color metallic ink printing. It's not as shiny and sparkly as the foil process but it's very very cool looking. It's a little more tasteful and reserved than the full color foil process if you ask me. You can have it done in full color or as just a spot color depending on your design needs. The metallic ink is only offered with a matte finish and on nice thick 14PT or 16PT stock.
