Tips for visitors to fairs
As a visitor, you are probably familiar with the fact that you have put on your nice clothes to go to a trade fair. But then one of 2 things happens: 1) you are given a large name tag on a lanyard, which you have to hang around your neck, or 2) you get a name tag that must be attached to your clothes with a pin. You don't have to worry about that sort of thing with a magnetic name tag - it has self-adhesive and won't damage your clothes. We even have a deluxe variant that can also go through the thick suit or a woodsman shirt. And as a bonus: you can buy from 1 pc.
It may also be that you are at a shopping fair and have to lug around your bag or goodie bags that you have been given around the various fair stands. But so that you don't have to put your bag on the floor, consider having a magnetic hook in the bag so that you can hang the bag under the table or on the chair when you are sitting in a meeting. It only requires a small steel edge, and then you have your hands free (and a clean bag).
Exhibits tips for fairs
As an exhibitor, you are subject to a lot of different rules - but above all, you must not scratch or damage anything. It is otherwise tempting to use tape to hang up banners and offer signs. But have you considered magnets?
You often have an exhibition wall or perhaps some roll ups with you, and here you can advantageously use rubber magnets on each side of the wall or banner. But also on the counter, the shelves etc. It only requires that there is a max. distance of 1 cm. to create a solution that doesn't require magnets so strong that customers get stuck in them (!) - getting a bag strap, an earring or some other metal caught.
It may also be that the exhibition stand is built with metal rods (not aluminium), so you have long rods to hang something on with magnets.
Or what about old roll ups? Save buying a new one and recycle old ones, but modify them with new offers and catchy texts by hanging something with magnets on the outside of the old banner. Magnets are much cheaper than buying a new roll up, and recycling is often a very good thing.
It may also be that you have set up a nice counter where you have a cash register and computer standing, or perhaps you have some blue tables standing where you want to cover the table legs and make it look more exclusive with paper or banners, where your logo is on it or where you can show off offers in a nice way. And here too, magnets are fantastic - either on opposite sides of a shelving wall, counter side or around the table legs, but two magnets that catch each other around paper or fabric banner.
And why rubber magnets? Because they are available in many colors, so you can match them with banner backgrounds, logos or the like, but also because they do not slide as easily as a raw magnet, so you experience better load-bearing capacity with the rubber magnets when the magnets have to hang "freely" against each other or if the surface is smooth.
