One of the major reasons businesses build an exhibition stand at a trade show or industry conference is to network and build business relationships that lead to sales. Most business people are savvy enough to realise that sales on the show day, while nice, are not the main focus of the event. Networking and putting in the groundwork for future sales is the key to having a successful trade show experience.

There are two ways to network at a trade show – at your own stand and visiting the other stand holders at the event. Here are some tips on making the most of the trade show experience. Continue Reading.

Things to consider when choosing your Exhibition Stand Package.

Posted on July 1st, 2010

McAfeeGood Design
Although you are hiring a pre-designed exhibition stand package, good design is still important. A good exhibition stand designer will make a packaged stand just as noticeable as a custom designed stand. Let your exhibition company know your budget and get some different options from them. Ask them to move things around if necessary to fit your own requirements and product.

Easy Assembly
If you plan to travel with your exhibition stand and want to be able to save on install and pack down fees at different venues, you will need to take into account the versatility and easy assembly of your chosen stand package. A well designed stand should be easy and quick to install, saving you on-site labour costs.

Light Weight
Perhaps not the most obvious of considerations but you will save money on transportation if your stand is light weight. Also, install will be made easier if the actual components are lighter to move around. You could save on forklift costs if your stand can be erected by manpower alone.

ICAP_1If you have decided to attend a Trade Show, the next step is to get your stand organised. One option is to hire the standard package from the show’s preferred supplier, but this has the disadvantage of your stand potentially looking just the same as many of the others at the Trade Show. You can avoid this by custom designing and building your very own stand, and it doesn’t need to cost you the earth either.

Before you go out spending a lot of money on materials, do your research. If you do an online search for ‘Trade Show stand designs’, you will find thousands of photos and articles of various stands from all sorts of industries. Spend your time going through these and take note of those that really catch your eye. What is it in particular that draws your attention? Continue Reading.
