NATURAL PRODUCT EXPO EAST

THE ASK

Local Hive Honey needed a booth that could create excitement and drive engagement during their tradeshow season.

The goal was to:
 

  • Establish a strong presence within a small footprint

  • Create a memorable, experience-driven interaction

  • Ensure the booth could be set up by non-technical staff
     

The challenge: deliver something that feels considered and engaging—while being simple enough to assemble, operate, and maintain without a build team.

What We Saw

Most small booths either simplify the experience—or overcomplicate the setup.
 

The opportunity was to design something that feels elevated, but functions effortlessly

Our Approach

We focused on creating a tasting experience that was intuitive for both staff and visitors.

  • Design for real-world setup
    Every component was built to be assembled by sales staff with minimal tools or technical knowledge.

  • Center the experience around interaction
    A curated tasting moment allows visitors to engage directly with new honey varietals.

  • Simplify through custom solutions
    Custom honey taps created a clean, controlled way to sample products while meeting COVID-era show requirements.

  • Make small feel intentional
    The layout maximizes a compact footprint—keeping the space open, approachable, and easy to navigate.

  • Balance brand and function
    Materials and presentation reinforce the brand while supporting durability and repeat use across shows.

What We Delivered

  • Compact tradeshow experience design

  • Custom honey tap dispensing system

  • Easy-to-assemble booth structure

  • Tasting interaction design

  • Brand-aligned material and layout strategy

The Outcome

  • A booth that could be reliably set up and operated by non-build staff

  • Increased engagement through hands-on product interaction

  • A clear and memorable brand experience within a small footprint

  • A repeatable system for ongoing tradeshow use

Key Takeaways

The best experiences don’t require complexity—they require clarity.
