Get noticed, be remembered


Explanation:
A suggestion, i.e. if you don't get noticed (in the first place), you won't or can't be remembered.

Other options:
Get noticed and be remembered
Be noticed (and) be remembered
Get noticed (and) stay noticed

Your own suggestion "be seen or be forgotten" also seems quite common, but perhaps "be seen and not forgotten" might be another alternative?

To the visible go the spoils


Explanation:
It may be that none of these are of any use. Still, it was fun composing the list:
To the visible go the spoils.
Be there or be square.
Show and (let your customers) tell.
Give your visitors something to talk about.
Let your exhibit define the discourse.
Show them something to remember you by.
Make them a stand they can't forget.

agree  hazmatgerman (X): As nonnative I would've used a single phrase, perhaps "Stand out and make a lasting impression" but guess yours is far more idiomatic.

  -> Thanks, Hazmatgerman. I think a single phrase is equally as good.
