Ok. You have decided to exhibit at a trade show and have contacted Planet Exhibits to bid on your project. It is essential that you provide our designer(s) the information they need to furnish you with a successful solution. But what is that information, what exactly do we need to know and how much should be left up to creative license? When presenting at a trade show, the exhibit is a three dimensional representation of your company’s image. Planet Exhibits designers consistently provide a professional looking design that reaches target audiences and delivers return on investment. Of course providing the basic info will be a necessity, such as the show(s) you are attending, show opening date(s), the size of the exhibit(s) and whether they are an island, peninsula or inline? Will you be looking for a similar look to your previous exhibits or something entirely new. Are there any unusual dimensional restrictions such as setbacks or height limitations?
NO SURPRISES
Surprises are great for birthdays but can be disasters at trade shows. From the start our designers lay out a workable floorplan based on the info provided. The more specific you are with our designer, the better off you will be in the long run. A last minute addition such as additional product can really put a strain on accessibility in the confines of your booth space. Tell the designer about any special requests, such as workstations, counters, shelving, conference area(s), reception, monitors etc.? Will you need a hospitality or refreshment area? Do you display many products? Will you be displaying large products and if so what are the dimensions? Would you consider an interactive area? Is there a certain style you like or dislike such as minimalist or contemporary? Do you favor certain finishes like wood or patterns or a particular color and which do you dislike? Tell the designer your vision so he or she can design the exhibit that meets your every need.
TELL US EVERYTHING
It is essential that you have a well thought out concept of what you wish to accomplish with your booth. Tell the designer your vision so he or she can design the exhibit that meets your every need. Our designer needs to know your company’s objectives and expectations, a brief history of the company, the industry and what sets you apart from your competitors. That being said, you don’t want to be so locked into certain concepts that you are not open to suggestions. At Planet Exhibits our designers bring knowledge and experience to the table and may come up with possibilities that you had not considered.
OH YEAH! BUDGET
Please share budget constraints with us as that will determine the structural limitations and scope of the project. It will also determine whether you purchase a custom design or utilize a rental property. Budget will also impact the finishes you choose and whether or not we incorporate curvilinear elements. If you haven’t established one yet we can provide you with a budgeting template that will include the costs for exhibit space, design and fabrication, exhibit transit, drayage, and install and dismantle services. Please keep in mind, regardless of your budget, this exhibit will be a representation of your company and brand to hundreds if not thousands of potential customers. It is a one-time opportunity to meet face to face with your target audience. Planet Exhibits will be happy to realize that potential through impactful and innovative design whatever your budget.
TOGETHER WE STAND
Remember, your company and our design team are in a partnership, together we can bring your concept to realization and provide your customers with a compelling representation of your brand that will be both memorable, measurable and increase ROI.
