Article Thumbnail Outdoor Retailer Winter Market '07: SNEWS® BOB Awards
Feb 5, 2007
If there was one word to sum up the trend of Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2007's booth designs, it was SUSTAINABILITY. There is no question that being green is both cool and the right thing to do, and that movement seemed to stimulate the addition of a bevy of new booths at the show. Never before has the SNEWS® crew seen so many companies utilizing green booth materials. While all the new booths were a welcome surprise, it made it more difficult than ever to come up with the latest round of coveted SNEWS® BOB Awards.

Aug 24, 2005
Outdoor Retailer Summer Market 2005 was a bountiful buffet of beautiful new booths, making judging and awarding the SNEWS® BOB Awards the most fun it has ever been. Overall, booths seemed more sophisticated in design incorporating textures like the corrugated metal and grass cloth used by Prana and the rubber floor tiles in the Indigo booth. Natural fibers and materials like the Teva wood chips at the booth entrance and Jansport's bamboo walls harkened the return to green so prevalent at the show. So many booths incorporated creativity, fun, design excellence, hard work and serious thought. Here are the ones the SNEWS® crew judged the Best of Booths (BOB).

Feb 4, 2005
Ever wondered what visual merchandisers dream of? Besides the obvious, they dream of the perfect trade show booth. Boring you say? Au contraire! If you think about it, good design can excite, persuade, entertain and just plain make you happy to be alive! It doesn't matter that you’re not a merchandiser -- there is much to appreciate in looking at a creative booth. And to that end, we at SNEWS® find inspiration that we trust you will enjoy, and perhaps find a something you can learn from, with our BOB (Best of Booths) Awards.

Feb 12, 2004
The crew at SNEWS appreciates the creative thought and work that goes into designing an outstanding trade show booth. Continuing our BOB awards tradition, we perused the aisles of Outdoor Retailer Winter Market 2004 and selected the best of the best. This year's crop of winners showed inventiveness, interesting design and an emphasis on showmanship that sometimes took precedence over product displays. The awards came easy at this show as several companies arrived with new booths and some first-time exhibitors showed great creativity in a small amount of space.

Aug 25, 2003
It takes a lot of time, preparation and money to create a successful trade show booth that attracts buyers and creates a buzz on the show floor – or even makes non-buying passers-by stop and gawk. The SNEWS team thinks those companies that took the extra effort to build eye-catching booths and persuasive product displays should be recognized. So, we're continuing the tradition we began at the '03 Winter Market of awarding the SNEWS "Best of Booths" Awards known affectionately as the BOB Awards.
