Standee design – expanding creativity from catalogue to point-of-sale communication

Not stopping at catalogues, I also use these free design software to create standees – an extremely effective communication tool at sales points, events, or fairs. Standees not only help increase brand recognition but also convey marketing messages visually and vividly.

With just Canva or Inkscape, you can easily design an impressive standee with standard sizes (60x160cm or 80x180cm), insert product images, slogans, and QR codes leading to your website or online catalogue. I once helped a cosmetics brand design a standee to introduce a new product – after just 3 days of display, the number of customers scanning the QR code increased by 120%.

The principle I always apply when designing standees is:

• Clear message, easy to read from a distance

• Eye-catching visuals, matches brand colors

• Optimized layout, avoid too much text that causes clutter

Dù chỉ là một khung vải đứng, nhưng khi thiết kế tốt, standee có thể trở thành “người bán hàng thầm lặng” cực kỳ hiệu quả – vừa thu hút ánh nhìn, vừa định vị thông điệp của thương hiệu trong tâm trí khách hàng.

This helps your catalogue look more professional and easier to read. From my experience working with over 200 clients, I find that simple yet sophisticated catalogues often achieve 40% higher marketing effectiveness than complex designs.
