Marquees for Trade Shows & Exhibitions: How to Stand Out from the Crowd

Russ Sizer • November 1, 2025

When it comes to trade shows, exhibitions, and product launches, first impressions count. You want a setup that’s eye-catching, professional, and comfortable for your visitors — and a marquee ticks every box.


At Zest Marquees, we provide high-quality, fully customisable marquees that help businesses showcase their products and services in style. Here’s how a marquee can help your brand stand out.


💡 1. Custom Design for Maximum Impact

Unlike a standard exhibition hall booth, a marquee gives you complete control over your layout and design. Add branded banners, custom colours, and lighting that highlights your displays. With open floor plans and modular setups, you can create product zones, demo areas, and lounges — all under one roof.


🧱 2. Flexible Sizes & Layouts

From compact pop-up marquees for outdoor trade shows to large exhibition pavilions, we tailor every setup to your needs. You can:

  • Showcase vehicles, machinery, or large equipment
  • Host demonstrations or workshops
  • Create private meeting spaces for clients

Whatever your industry, we’ll make sure your marquee is practical, stylish, and ideally suited to your event.


⚙️ 3. All-Weather Reliability

Outdoor trade shows often come with one major worry — the weather. Our marquees are fully weatherproof, with secure anchoring, durable materials, and optional heating or cooling to keep exhibitors and guests comfortable all day.


📊 4. Built for Branding & Experience

Marquees are a marketer’s dream. You can brand every inch — from the entrance banners to flooring, table skirts, and lighting. Add large-format signage, screens, or digital displays for maximum engagement. It’s your company’s personality brought to life.


☕ 5. Comfort for Visitors & Staff

A welcoming atmosphere encourages people to stop, stay, and engage. Include seating areas, coffee stations, and info points within your marquee. It’s the perfect environment for networking, demonstrating, and sealing deals.
