Backlit displays have taken over the trade show industry, and they’re here to stay.
Backlit towers offer better visibility and brighter colors than their non-backlit counterparts.
And in 2020, there are even more backlit tower options than ever before and in many cases, they’re even less expensive than non-backlit options!
Let’s take a look at the top-performing backlit trade show towers that can fill your booth space with backlit goodness.
Portable Backlit Trade Show Towers
WaveLight Inflatable Backlit Towers
The WaveLight Inflatable Backlit Towers have been extremely popular and are actually one of our most portable options too.
These backlit trade show towers inflate in minutes using an electric pump that fills the internal, durable bladder with air.
All you have to do is inflate it from the bottom port, tilt it up to its standing position, and then plug it in for a 360 degree backlit tower feature for your event. The graphics come pre-installed on these displays, so no more worrying about installing the graphics on the display.
They’re available in round or square-shaped towers and range in height from 59”, 90”, and 126” tall.
Highly portable and transportable, your team will love you for the simplicity in design and setup.
