Does your craft show tents match....

[tabitwhe]

your website design?

For example..... If your setup for a craft show is black pink and green, is your website the same colors or do you have different ones.

Reason for asking.... my website is kinda milk choclate brown, pink, and lime green. My setup for shows have just been with black tablecloths but my display cards are the colors of the website. But I dont want to spend about $40 on tablecloths when it would be easier just to change the cards to match. Does that make sense or am I being anal about it? I would like to do black with zebra print and pink. and make the bow cards simple black & white.

What do you think?

I think that everything should be coordinating. I think it gives a more professional appearance. Find something you like and stick with it, then customers will always associate you with that, and if they see your designs/colors, they will automatically think of you. KWIM?

It's your stuff.. so I would do whatever you think is best for your business. I personally have my booth from my tent to the tablecloths match. Our banner matches the one on our website, so everythign coordinates. But I like th ezebra and the bw idea. Good luck

My website is yellow with ducks so I bought some yellow polka dot material and made table cloths from that.

my tent is blue hard to not get blue without special ordering and in a sea of tents most are blue or white... I dont think ppl notice I was at a show where there was a black tent... it stood out.... MAN I would NOT want to be under it talk about HOT


my table cloths are cream... I like having a neutral backdrop for the colors of the items...my banner pulls in some of the cream but then also the pops of color that are on my biz cards....

I dont think your displays should fight compete with the merchandise... they should be a backdrop that sets off your stuff not distract the buyer from it to where they are looking at your displays and not your stuff...

that is merchandising 101 for you... look to your retailers... simple merch is the front line... the big stores will do big windows to display and tell a story but always the "stuff" is the focus whats around it is fluff... so if your fluff is more vibrant than the merch you have a problem
