Tradeshow Signs and Handouts

Tradeshow Sign. We offer an attractive 8" x 10" table sign explaining the Whole Grain Stamp program, shown below. This foamcore sign with easel is designed for members to display in their booth at any and all tradeshows. Email us when you need one, and we'll send it to you at no charge. Or, simply download the sign graphic (1M PDF), output it on your own printer, and provide your own 8"x 10" frame.

Oversize postcards. We also offer 6" x 9" postcards explaining the Whole Grain Stamp program, to use as take-aways at trade shows. The front matches the sign, above; the back includes a short FAQ about the WG Stamp. You can see a thumbnail below, or download the postcard graphic (680K PDF) to preview what you'll be getting when you order these from us.

"Just Ask for Whole Grains" Buttons and Stickers

We have small 1" lapel buttons saying "Just Ask for Whole Grains" available to members. Give them away at your next event to get everyone thinking about whole grains. Just email us and tell us how many you need. They're free in resonable quantities to members who promise to use them to faithfully promote whole grains! Stickers (on rolls) measuring 1.5" in diameter and with a similar graphic are also available. Here's what the buttons and the stickers look like:

Whole Grains Every Day poster

This 18"x24" poster looks great in stores, tradeshow booths, classrooms or health clinics. It reinforces the importance of making whole grain choices every day, and reminds everyone of the many delicious and familiar whole grain choices that are available.

Handouts for Selling Whole Grains

Many of our members have asked us to put together information they can pass on to their customers, to explain topics like the benefits of whole grains, the meaning of the Whole Grain Stamp, and the resources of the Whole Grains Council. We've posted them here to share with all members. Download the PDFs, print as many copies as you need, and share them with your customers.
