Organizing your Exhibition booth at Trade Show booth
We often read
about the impact of empowering creativity and uniqueness to a trade show booth.
But how often we think about how a trade show booth is organized and what all
are the intricacies of the process. Exhibit display companies deliver
us the most outstanding designs of trade show booths and we are left to focus
upon the other agendas of trade show event. We look forward to have a booth to
be placed appropriately at the place of maximum possibilities. But a lot more
goes into organizing a trade show booth than we imagine.
Let us discuss here some of the factors you
have to consider when organizing trade show exhibit booths.
Choose the
right event
First and
foremost you need to make up your mind on what kind of business event will be
right for your brand. Exhibiting without the sense of right judgment of which
trade show event will suit your business can lead to time and resource wastage.
You need to be well aware of the target audience that will be present at the
show where you will be exhibiting. People like to attend events that are in
line with the theme of the trade show event. Off the track events straight away
get unnoticed unless there is something very appealing that you bring to the
show. Therefore it is important to consider and thoughtfully choose which trade
show event you should choose to exhibit your brand.
Select your space
There is a
lot of information available for exhibitors to help them choose the right space
for exhibiting. Working on everything else and leaving out on this aspect can
drop you to a huge loss. For an exhibition to be successful, it should be
visited by certain number of attendees which you can try to convert to business
leads. And lot many factors affect the
attendance of attendees at the booth. Custom exhibit displays grab
the attention of people but it is certainly important that your booth is in the
vicinity of the show where there are maximum number of chances to be attended.
Strategies like choosing the space near the entrance, choosing the place near
corners, cross junctions, cafes and restaurants, and being left or right to the
trade fair exhibitions are some of the ways that need a thoughtful decision
based on your budget and other parameters.
Functional aspects
Before you
begin the designing of stand you need to make a list of things that you will
need on the stand. Things like laptops or IPad, pens, paper or business cards
to capture leads is one aspect. You also need to decide on the power
requirements that you will be needing at your booth. You would be selling items
on stand or exhibiting to create awareness would decide the design of your
booth. What furniture you would be
needing or if you need a meeting room are some of the aspects that will be a
deciding factor for your exhibition booth design.
Design of your exhibition booth
Your
exhibition booth is the first thing that will be noticed by the attendees. It
creates the first impression of your brand and showcases your individuality. Do
not act miserly on this aspect as a lot depends on your booth to be able to
provide you traffic at your booth. A dull and cluttered environment is a big
turn off for people. Have arrangements to make your place well lit and properly
organized with breathing space at your booth. Relaxing seating arrangements is
a big plus when it comes to defining a good exhibition booth. Creative ideas
and unique innovative designs grab the attention of people. Take time to decide
upon this factor of the design of your exhibition booth. You can go for rentals
of exhibition booth rather than buying it if you want to go to a higher end in
design. However, it depends more on your usability of the booth that you decide
to buy or rent. Trade show stand construction is an art and focusing on the little
things can give you an outstanding result in terms of innovation and
creativity.
Exhibitor manual
The
exhibition organizer sends an exhibitor manual detailing the necessary
information regarding the trade show exhibitions. It details the exhibition floor
plan and any marketing efforts that the organizer will be engaging in. It tells
about the services available and timeline for you to take action. All in all
your exhibition manual will be all you need for the information related to
exhibiting.
Choose the right exhibition design and building vendor
Finding the
right exhibition design and building vendor can be tricky. It takes into
account several factors to choose the right vendor. Budget, distance of its
manufacturing unit from venue, experience in designing and building exhibition
stands, the services they offer, quality of materials used, latest technologies
and equipment, innovation and style, variety and reviews of the company by
their clients are some of the parameters upon which we figure out the right
vendor for our exhibition booth design and building.
Transportation
An important
consideration is required on deciding how your exhibition stand will be
transported to the venue. Many companies like Triumfo provide the facilities of
installation, dismantling and storage along with the design and building
services. For timely delivery you need to figure out the most appropriate way
of transportation for your booth either by yourself or through the design
companies. You need to organize the transportation of your exhibition stand in
line with the time of your exhibition.
Storage of stand
If you are
purchasing the exhibition booth then you will have to figure out for the
storage of exhibition booth till you will use it again. Rentals save you on
this parameter as you have no responsibility to store the stand after your
exhibition is over. Many companies which have their manufacturing units near
the venue also provide the storage facilities.
