We recently completed yet another order for a client looking to improve its trade show look. It’s a common approach these days – outshine the competition at a trade show simply by having booth staff that look sharper. In outfitting the staff for a recent show, we helped our client select baseball jerseys that matched their overall booth theme. Over the years, we've learned a few tried-and-true lessons when it comes to trade show projects. For starters, when selecting any item for a large staff, one needs to keep in mind all shapes and sizes. The easiest way to do this is to consider the women first. It’s easier to revolve a program around the ladies’ shirt. No unisex anything – it has to be a woman’s cut and it has to be easy-care, performance fabrics, no-wrinkle...anything that will travel well for the show.

Most importantly, booth apparel has to make sense for the theme and budget.

Want maximum impact for minimal budget? Choose these affordable-yet-impactful caps. With a premium position for a logo or slogan, your message will greet the audience literally "head on"! Done in softer, lighter-weight fabrics, their nature makes them supremely packable for hassle-free travel or to easily tuck into a pocket. When marketing dollars are tight - or even if they aren't - there's no better buy.

Double the warmth without doubling the weight. Soft shells breathe, stretch, block wind, shed rain and keep you warm - all without added bulk. They are the fastest growing outerwear styles in the market today. Soft shell combines the wind and rain resistance of nylon shells with the warmth of poly fleece producing a thin, lightweight outerwear alternative. The filament that binds both layers together prevents wind from penetrating the inner layer while allowing air to circulate and moisture to escape. Eliminating the bulk, soft shell jackets provide greater mobility without sacrificing the protection from wind, rain and cold.

Perfect For:

• Athletic Departments
  
• Colleges and Universities
  
• Computer Industries
  
• Corporate Outings

Weather comes in different varieties. Endlessly versatile 3-in-1 outerwear solves that problem. The system consists of two jackets to wear three ways. A liner jacket is ideal on its own when there's a chill in the air. The outer shell goes it alone to shed rain and block wind. And when conditions get really ugly, the two zip together for serious protection from the worst Mother Nature has to offer.

• Valets
