How much freedom will I be given by the
convention hall in choosing where my
display is placed? What are the criteria
for determining which ones are good
and which are bad?

If this is your first time exhibiting at the show,
try to book your space as earlier as possible.
You’ll have more options from which to select.
The best spaces for trade show booths are the
ones that get the most foot traffic.
These are usually the ones closest to
the hall entrance and corner spaces, which provide traffic
from intersecting aisles and because they are the most desirable.
If you don’t get your preferred space, don’t worry.
You can still drive traffic to your booth
with effective pre-show promotions,
such as email and direct mail postcards,
and at-show advertising.

What can I do to stand out from the
other trade show booths on
the convention floor?

The best thing you can do is know your target
market and show objectives. You have only about
3 seconds to grab attendees’ attention,
you’ll need to put together an effective
trade show display and graphics. Keep in mind
how attendees will enter your booth. Will traffic come
from one or multiple sides? Place graphics
at each entrance at eye-level or above so attendees can
quickly identify your company and what you do.
Using bold images and simple messages will also
help stop traffic and then it’s up to your booth staff to continue your show objectives.
Our trade show display consultants can help you
create functional and affordable trade show displays and graphics.

Do you print tradeshow display graphics?

Yes, Our Partner Exhibit Solutions have a high-quality,
large-format graphic production department in-house.
They will print all kinds of tradeshow display graphics.
Their production department takes great care to ensure
that your tradeshow display graphics are a perfect fit for your display.

Will I see a proof of my tradeshow display
graphics before you print them?

Yes, Our Partner Exhibit Solutions provide test
prints of your tradeshow display graphics for your
approval before proceeding with final production.
The test prints allow you to review the design, color and resolution of your tradeshow display graphics.

On what materials do you print tradeshow
display graphics?

Our Partner Exhibit Solutions produces a variety of
high-quality, large-format tradeshow display graphics.
Your solution may include a combination of the
tradeshow display graphics below:

Fabric / canvas
Photographic paper with protective laminate
Photomural graphic panels
Flexible (rollable) graphics with Velcro
Mounted graphics on rigid substrates, such
as Sintra, acrylic, plexiglass and Foamcor
Reflective (lighted from the front)
Backlit graphics Vinyl
Custom-cut dimensional letters and logos

What rule of thumb should guide me where to
place my exhibit graphics?

Generally, there is a hierarchy of placement order.
1. Company name, identification at the highest point
2. Tagline or defining statement
3. Three to four broad product categories, departments,
service levels
Beyond this, exhibit graphics depart from the
Marketing
side and enter the sales side. Remember that the
booth is a marketing vehicle, and its people that handle the sales.

How can I fine-tune my sales and
marketing message at shows?

An effective exhibit distinguishes you from
your competition and is easy to identify by
asking yourself a few simple questions.
1. What do customers think is the most valuable
quality about our competitor's products and services?
2. What might induce them to switch?
(Specific product or service related)
3. What are the main complaints customers
have about our products and services and of
our competitors’ products and services?
4. Who do they see as market leaders and why?
5. Which customer needs go unfulfilled?
6. What is the key factor in their buying decision?
7. How are changes in the industry and current
conditions influencing them now?
You can find the right position for your company
and products by answering these questions.

How can your tradeshow exhibit staff help
us get the most out of the show?

Make your company's goals and objectives clear at a
Pre-Show staff meeting. Communicating clear
goals and how you intend to achieve them will help
employees feel like part of an actual team with a clear goal.

Challenge them with a mission!
Here are some topics to cover that help everyone
participate as a team.
1. What are the general and specific objectives in
attending this show?
2. What elements in our strategy are going to help
us attain each general and specific objective?
3. Identify what role each booth staffers will assume.
You might assign roles according to product line,
area, type of industry of physical location in the booth.
Perhaps one person can be assigned to collect leads,
replenish literature, take a message or re-direct a
potential or current client to the right exhibit staffer.

How does color affect the effectiveness
of my exhibit?

Color creates subconscious impressions.
Here are some examples:

Red: Excitement, passion, rescue, warning
Green: Freshness, health, masculinity
Blue: Official appearance, trustworthiness, soothing
Purple: Bravery, lawfulness, excess, regal
Silver: Contemporary, sleek, upscale
Black: Formal, evil, nothingness, sexy
White: Purity, elegance, cleanliness
Brown: Dull, strength, poverty, fertility
Gray: Wisdom, grief, humbleness, strength

Your exhibit structure and the graphics you use
will ultimately determine how you are perceived.
Judicious use of your corporate logo and
brand identities is of course your best method of
reinforcing name recognition and brand awareness.

Why not show all our product features,
or the full list of services we offer?

The answer is simple! Tradeshows are full of distractions!
People can only absorb and retain so much information.
They talk with lots of people and just the sheer amount of
visual distraction at a show can be overwhelming.
Its quality here, not quantity!
The exhibit's job is to focus and reinforce your primary message.
If people remember anything about you, what do you want it to be?
The exhibit conveys your identity and the specific associations
you want people to make with it. Your sales staff best handles
the smaller details, as they begin to build or enhance
the company's relationship with the customer.

How much literature should we bring?

Many experts feel the best bet is to mail literature after or
during the show. You don't want your expensive literature to
land in the hotel or convention center wastebasket,
which happens more often than you want to know.
Here's an idea! Fax names and addresses of who you
want the literature mailed out to at the end of the show
each day, with a pre-arranged show letter.
Your prospects will be amazed at the speed of your response!

How can we plan for success once we've taken care of
all the details before and during the show?

After the show, you may want to rest but this is when
you need to make the most of your investment.
The leads and contacts developed at the show need a
personal letter and a phone call at the very least.
Plan to distribute leads immediately after the show.
Following up on the fruits of your labor after the show can make
all the difference in the world! Better yet, include a reminder of
your exhibits theme or some pleasant association of you exhibit.

What is the 6-second rule?

You have, on average, 6 seconds to meet and evaluate a
visitor to your exhibit, based on how many people you need
to qualify and speak with at a show. Tradeshows are a microcosm
of the outside world. Time is compressed at a tradeshow;
it's a very precious commodity.
The solution is to develop your ability to manage the
communication process. Know how to courteously
disengage from an unlikely prospect, when to turn
over some prospects to the right exhibit staffer
and when to take over for them when they need to
speak with someone else. Plan for success and be
sure everyone in the booth knows their assigned role!
The people that need you will really appreciate it!

Trade Show Tips & Advice:

"Busy Booth," is when a company offers too much
information on their backwall. A visually attractive
booth should have a simple, clear message that intises
a prospective customer to enter your booth and then
enquire on your products through printed hand
out material and communication with your sales
representative. Remember, potential customers
want to know what is special about your products & services.
Outdated Graphics- arriving at a show with dated look
tells your prospective audience that your company either
does not attend many shows or that you are in fact dated
and behind your more attractive looking competitors.
It is important to keep a "fresh look", whenever
you offer a new product or service.
Try to design a booth that is memorable and evokes
emotion from the event attendees. Give a full experience,
not a passive sales pitch.
Focus on your target audience and design your booth to
appeal to them. Make it clear what product
or service you are offering.
Take advantage of the backwalls of trade show displays
to wash your booth in a color that sets the mood.
Limit the main colors to three or less; the same applies
to textures used in your booth
Even if your booth is small, be sure to light it adequately
for a large trade show. Without light, exhibits suffer in an expo hall.
Use multimedia (animation, video, audio and interactive kiosks)
for attention grabbing impact.
Use graphics from your products or marketing literature for
your trade show display design. It will help create a consistent branding image.
Make sure your text is large enough to be read from a distance.
Place text in the upper half of your display design, so
people standing in front of the booth won't block it.

Why should I exhibit trade show?
Exhibiting with trade show booths puts you
face-to-face with thousands of qualified attendees.
Many of those attendees use their industries’ big
trade shows to research products and services before a purchase.
For an exhibitor, these attendees are a good source of new leads and even show floor sales. Twenty-two percent of sales and marketing
executives say trade shows are the top-producer of
among all their marketing programs. In addition, the
costs of generating and closing a qualified lead via
exhibiting with trade show booths is less than that of
generating and closing a field lead, according to the
CEIR Study on Economics of Exhibiting.

Are Trade Shows really worth exhibiting?
Absolutely! There is no better value for your marketing dollar. In fact, Trade Shows are the Premiere Source of buying information. An industry study found 83% of attendees have some type of buying power. 50% of the leads at a show are closed without a sales call. Also, 9% of these leads are closed with only 1 sales call and another 17% with only 2 sales calls. All in all, trade shows generated leads cost an amazing 45% less to close than field sales calls. Now that's Smart Money Management! In addition, there is a greater opportunity to be brought up to date on the latest trends and developments. Not to mention the opportunity to discuss specific issues with industry professionals.

How do I know what suit my need?
Call us and we will assist you in determining the
most effective solution for your Trade Show Exhibit Program. By examining the
function of your booth -- why you're exhibiting, what you want to accomplish
and how that will be done (i.e. product demonstration, conference areas,
computer workstations, graphic images, product displaying, etc.) --
the appropriate exhibit system recommendations will be made.
When should I order a display?
Order ASAP so you can order by your choice and right location. However, since your display is your identity at the show, it’s important to deal with the way you present yourself and the best way to do that is to plan ahead, with specific marketing goals and strategies.
