As a roofing product provider, trade shows are a prime opportunity to promote your shingle lines to contractors. However, with hundreds of competing booths, you need to find creative ways to showcase your Roofing Shingles and make your booth stand out. In this blog post, we’ll explore effective display ideas to help market your shingle products at the next industry trade show.

Open Concept Layout
Opt for an open-concept layout without too many enclosed areas to allow easy flow of traffic through your booth. Leave plenty of space between display elements for attendees to browse comfortably. This keeps people engaged longer versus a cramped setup.
Interactive Displays
Hands-on displays are memorable ways to showcase shingle textures, colors, and fire ratings up close. Some ideas include sample boards, roof mockups at varying angles, and interactive touch screens. You can also provide iPads loaded with product specs and photos for contractors to browse on their schedule.
Visuals and Graphics
Use large, high-quality graphics and photos on banners, backdrops, and freestanding panels to highlight shingle features. Rotate images on a loop to maintain interest. Graphics should be simple with large text for easy viewing from a distance. Include before/after remodeling shots to inspire contractors.
Giveaways and Contests
Offer useful giveaways like hats, water bottles, or tool belts branded with your company logo. You can also run daily drawings for larger prizes like tablets or tools. Be sure to promote any contests clearly so attendees remember to enter. Giveaways are a proven lead generator for trade show booths.
Knowledgeable Staff
Have product experts on hand during show hours to answer contractor questions. Staff should be comfortable discussing shingle specifications, warranties, and installation best practices. Contractors want to learn from industry leaders, so make sure your team can deliver.
Follow Up Strategy
Collect leads with intent. Ask contractors what projects they have coming up and how you can help. Then, follow up within days of the show with any promised resources. Include offers like discounts or samples to continue the conversation and turn leads into sales.
You can generate quality leads from contractors at your next trade show booth by creatively displaying and promoting your roofing shingles with interactive exhibits, visuals, giveaways, and knowledgeable staff.
