Trade show merch: booth, exhibitor kit, visitor gift and pavilion sponsorship

The trade show is the stage where the national and international competitor is 50 metres from your booth, the visitor walks past 300 pavilions in one morning, and the prospect's buying decision forms in the first 90 seconds of interaction. The booth with sloppy fabric, generic promoter gift, careless brochure and uniform-less staff communicates the opposite to a professional visitor. The modular booth with corporate backlit fabric, gift curated by visitor profile, bilingual brochure with hard data and embroidered-uniform staff communicates institutional order. We work with corporates in Mexico City, Guadalajara, Monterrey, Querétaro, Tijuana, Juárez, Mérida and the rest of the country to produce the full trade-show operation: modular booth, exhibitor kit, visitor gift, pavilion sponsorship, floor signage and press kit. Invoicing through CFDI 4.0 to SAT, 16% VAT, deductible as a Public Relations or Sponsorship expense. MOQ from 100 pieces.
