Tips for Exhibitors at KBIS

With so much visual competition on the show floor, your booth design and messaging must be intentional and compelling. PG Exhibits recommends the following strategies:

• Lead with your hero product: Appliances, fixtures, surfaces, and cabinetry look best when highlighted with lighting and clear sightlines.
• Use tactile zones: Allow visitors to touch and interact with materials, textures, and tech enabled components.
• Create strong visual hierarchy: Place logos and main headlines high to clear crowds; keep supporting text minimal.
• Design immersive vignettes: Full or partial kitchen and bathroom environments help buyers imagine real applications.
• Plan your demos: Builders and designers expect hands-on learning. Schedule demos throughout the day and promote them clearly.
• Focus on storytelling: Use graphics, screens, and signage to communicate your brand values, craftsmanship, and innovation.
