Las Vegas is the global capital of conferences and trade shows. Every week, tens of thousands of brands roll into the Convention Center, the Venetian Expo, Mandalay Bay, and dozens of other venues with one goal: to be seen, remembered, and respected.

Yet, far too often, we see brands make a fatal mistake. They’ll spend tens of thousands on booth design, flights, hotels, and sponsorships, only to cut corners on the one thing that documents and amplifies the entire experience: their media coverage.

Yes, I’m talking about video and photography.

It’s always the same story. A company decides to “save” a few hundred dollars by hiring the cheapest photographer or videographer they can find. Or worse—they ghost us after we’ve spent hours preparing a thoughtful estimate, because somewhere, someone else promised them bargain-basement rates.

So let’s be honest: is that really saving money, or is it setting your brand up for an expensive mistake?

Buy Cheap, Buy Twice

There’s a saying every professional knows: buy cheap, buy twice.

Here’s how it plays out in trade show media:

• You hire someone who undercharges because they’re inexperienced or cutting corners.

• They show up with subpar equipment, poor lighting, and no real strategy for capturing your booth or your brand story.

• You get a gallery of images or clips that make your booth look dull, your team unprofessional, and your products like an afterthought.

Suddenly, you’re stuck. You’ve got to either use mediocre content that diminishes your brand—or pay again for a professional reshoot (which usually costs more after the fact).

Meanwhile, the trade show is over. The crowds have gone home. And the moment to maximize your investment has passed.

When Clients Ghost Us After Estimates

Let me throw a little shade here: clients who ghost after we provide estimates are making a mistake that hurts their own brand more than it hurts us.

We don’t send estimates casually. We research your industry, review the event layout, tailor coverage options, and build a plan that elevates your brand presence in front of thousands of attendees. When you vanish without a word, you’re not just being disrespectful—you’re signaling to your own team that investing in quality brand storytelling isn’t a priority.

Ask yourself: do you really want your booth to blend in with the noise because you chose the cheapest option—or worse, no coverage at all?

Why Professionals Matter in Las Vegas Trade Show Coverage

Here’s the reality: not all photography and video are created equal.

Capturing a trade show is not the same as snapping wedding photos or running a portrait session. It requires:

• Knowledge of trade show lighting, which is notoriously harsh and uneven.

• Experience in working around crowds, clutter, and unpredictable schedules.

• The ability to highlight your booth design, your products, and your team in a way that matches your brand identity.

• Strategic storytelling through video that extends your reach far beyond the show floor.

At The King’s Touch Creative, we’ve built our reputation as the go-to brand for trade show media coverage in Las Vegas. We’ve worked with companies from startups to Fortune 500s, and we know how to turn your presence on the show floor into powerful marketing assets that live on long after the convention doors close.

The Bottom Line: Value Over Price

If you’re serious about maximizing your trade show investment in Las Vegas, you can’t afford to go cheap on media coverage. Your booth is temporary, but your photos and videos will define how customers, prospects, and partners remember you.

So the real question is: what’s the cost of looking cheap when you’ve invested so much to be here?

At The King’s Touch Creative, we don’t compete on being the cheapest—we compete on being the best. And our clients know the difference. Client Testimonials:

Because in Las Vegas, where the world comes to do business, the brands that win are the ones that look, sound, and feel like leaders.
