For trade exhibitions and expos, exhibition booths and kiosks are essential marketing tools, but what should you choose?

Concepts for modest trade show booths

Have you ever been stationed on a little stand and been envious of the larger, island stands that featured brightly lit signs highlighting the company's name?

No matter how big or small your display booth is, you'll face difficulties. Even while four people on your shell plan stand can make you feel like sardines in a can, the benefit is that it can provide the impression of activity and draw in more customers. As a general rule, people hate to feel left out.

Novel concepts

A trade show booth can go from being forgettable to becoming a major success with the help of a single brilliant stand design idea.

Make sure your content is easy to understand and that your visuals stand out.

Use light effectively. Take full advantage of the virtual reality. Utilise the social media platforms to their full potential. Maintain a respectable but not overwhelming team presence.

From the beginning, be clear about the stand's objectives. This is frequently forgotten in the rush to make a good impression during a specific exhibition. Visitors will come if your service or product fulfils the audience's needs.

Make the most of your advertising budget by doing as much as you can before, during, and after the event.

Large display booths

Large exhibition booths grab attention right away, but they are more vulnerable to certain pitfalls than their smaller counterparts. A larger booth or display area can make visitors feel like easy targets. For a huge display, it is simple to squander room, but is there any way to prevent this:

It is important to understand the position of the stand Make sure you're exhibiting to the right people at the correct trade show What should be placed on the stand? Products, demonstrations, or meeting counters? Use video walls to give interest and movement to the potentially vast areas of space Pre-schedule meetings at the booth to ensure a steady stream of customers Make a decision as to whether or not you will require meeting space, and determine the level of confidentiality required for this

Your large booth can look active and full of people if you take use of the following strategies to draw in passers-by:

Capitalise on every social media opportunity Improve the presentation's visuals Freebies and goody bags Make a game that people can't stop playing; it doesn't have to be technologically advanced to generate interest Engage customers with a fantastic competition Instead of erecting walls, divide your stand into sections Create distinct areas with lights and screens Offer refreshments

Island display stands

An island display stand is a spot in an open-concept hall that is designated as "space alone." You will have an island in the middle of the hall to display your brand once your stand is constructed, especially if you are employing raised flooring.

Stands for festivals and open-air exhibitions

Pop-up stands for trade shows can appear anywhere! Outdoor events, festivals, and roadshows provide the ideal setting for a more daring and imaginative approach to the exhibition stand and design. It will have to withstand drunken VIPs, soggy turf, and the unpredictable British summer.

If you hire a professional exhibition stand designer, they will take into account the surrounding area when designing your custom booth. In addition, they'll be engaged in the entertaining process of planning the festival's infrastructure.

Concepts for group gatherings

It can be difficult to provide a private location for meetings. It's crucial to incorporate this into your show stand design at the outset. Creating a quiet, intimate setting might result in more organic, laid-back dialogue, but bear the following in mind:

Is there a limit on the number of attendees at a given meeting? Is there a need for a laptop or presentation area? How private will your conversations need to be? What size is the entire stand area?

Bringing heavy gear and vehicles to a trade show

There are many obstacles that must be overcome in order to create a successful display booth for machinery. Even with the incredible assistance and support of the venue, the sheer logistics of getting the vehicles and equipment in and out of the event.

It's imperative to work with skilled exhibition stand builders. They'll be able to handle event planning and documentation.

Innovative stand ideas

With a super-strong, high-impact LED wall, you'll stand out from the crowd. A trained crew will collaborate with the exhibition construction team to install the screen as part of the presentation. This rental option is offered by the majority of significant exhibits companies.

Displays with TV screens

TV screens are a helpful complement to the stand brief that you have prepared. If you have information that people will find interesting, it makes perfect sense to include it into your exhibition stand space in the form of moving visuals so that you can attract more customers.

Quick Response Codes

A quick response code (QR code) can be used to collect information from visitors or direct them to content such as a brochure, video, demo, or even a virtual experience all from their mobile device.

Product Demos

Demonstrations, whether in person or online, are a fantastic method to get people excited about a new product.

Freebies

There is a vast selection of goods available for giveaways. People are becoming a bit more environmentally concerned, but a helpful collection of reusable promotional items can offer your customers something to remember you by and keep you at the top of their minds.

Games

A game or competition will attract people to your space and encourage engagement at your expo stand since crowds attract crowds. This therefore provides you with the chance to engage with your clients and guests. Additionally, they might leave a lasting impression on those who visit your booth after the event.

Running a business and coordinating an exhibition stand project at the same time might be difficult. Our exhibition checklist is ideal for staying organised and will assist you in noting down key points so that you don't have to scramble at the last minute or forget anything.
