Last week, we put your booth-smarts to the test with our Exhibiting Pop Quiz! We showed you an example booth and asked, What’s the number one issue or opportunity here?
The options were:
- Too many images
- Too many messages
- Distracting colors
- No target-centered headline
And the results are in! The winning answer—and our top tip—is: No target-centered headline.
Here’s why:
The primary goal of any small or midsize company booth is simple but critical: attract qualified prospects. And nothing does that better than a clear, compelling headline.
Think of your headline as the welcome mat that speaks directly to your audience’s biggest challenge or problem. It should make your target prospects stop, nod, and think, “This is exactly what I need.” Without it, your booth risks blending into the crowd.
So, how can you craft a headline that hits the mark?
- Be Specific: Focus on the core problem your audience is trying to solve.
- Be Clear: Simplicity wins—skip the jargon.
- Be Impactful: Highlight the value you bring in one short, memorable line.
What’s your take? Do you agree that a strong headline is the game-changer for booths? Drop your thoughts in the comments! And stay tuned—we’ve got another quiz coming your way soon.
Until then, happy exhibiting!
