You will see that visitors will gather around your stand which will attract them to your stand.

Coffee mugs

Not only the coffee is important, but also what it is served in. There are several options.

But, a coffee mug is more than just the holder of your coffee. It is the best marketing tool there is! As long as you use it properly. The big advantage is that you can print cardboard coffee mugs with whatever you want. From company logo to booth numbers and from your complete mission or vision to QR codes leading to your website or socials. The advantage of printed cardboard cups is the conscious and unconscious visual appeal. On average, a person stands with a cup of coffee in his hands for 7 minutes and unconsciously looks at a cup a lot. And in addition, 6 to 7 visitors walk past this person who sees the cups. Then you immediately understand why this is the ultimate marketing tool!
