ATLANTA (Oct. 24, 2014)—Canada-based Top & Derby earned the award for Best Booth Under 400 Square Feet on the final day of Medtrade. The first-time exhibitors’ “sleek and simple” display of canes made excellent use of the relatively small space.
A panel of marketing experts also tapped Carex for the prestigious Best Booth Over 400 Square Feet Award. The booth featured showroom windows and a building facade to spark retail display ideas among providers.
The Creative Concepts Award went to Stander for its camouflage-drenched “Hunt for Cash Sales” theme. The award recognizes all-around creativity, including booth design, marketing message, preshow marketing and social media.
