The Quality Of Trade Show Exhibit Designs Can Make Or Break A Display

By Young Lindsay


One of the most popular and effective ways in which companies can showcase their products and services is to attend exhibitions. Large exhibitions attract numerous buyers and it provides the exhibitor the rare opportunity to interact with clients and potential clients. It goes without saying that it is vital to put together a professional exhibit. A sloppy display reflects poorly on the exhibiting company. Most companies spend a fair amount of money and time on their trade show exhibit designs.

Creating an effective and attractive display requires careful consideration of the message that needs to be conveyed, the intended target market and the budget that is available. Most effective displays consist of several elements that all work together to present a cohesive picture. When designing the display practical matters such as ease of transport and erection is also very important. Many companies require modular displays that allow them to use the same display in various formats.

There is a large variety of elements that can be used as part of an exhibition display. Most professional designers will use wall banners or custom wall paper to create a backdrop that is both striking and defining. Pop up displays and smaller banners are often used to highlight certain features of the product or service in question. In many instances the central theme is repeated in all the various components.

Choosing display products can be difficult. Certain products such as custom made wallpaper can be used only once. Companies that attend exhibitions on a regular basis will probably be better off choosing products that can be used over and over again. Factors such as ease of transport and storage may also play an important role.

Most companies that attend exhibitions have very specific goals that they wish to achieve during the event. Their displays must be designed specifically to help achieve those goals. In most cases it is best to opt for the services of professional designers. They know how to use different display products to complement each other and to develop the theme of the display. Very few companies boast the in house expertise necessary to create professional displays.

When choosing a designer it is important to choose someone that can create the graphics, produce the various display products and deliver the entire display as a single unit. Using more than one contractor to work on a single display seldom achieve a cohesive effect. Clients should insist upon references and they must make sure that the designer has done similar work previously.

Some exhibitors choose not to man their stands at exhibitions. They believe that the various displays can convey their messages adequately. In most cases, however, it is important to have knowledgeable staff at hand to interact with visitors and to answer questions. Exhibitions are excellent for networking purposes and valuable contacts can be made with potential suppliers and clients. Those manning the exhibition should be chosen with the utmost care because they will be representative of the company.

No organization or business can grow if they do not make sure that their products and services are visible. Exhibitions present an excellent way to increase public visibility. By using a professional designer to create a display companies can make sure that their image is portrayed professionally.
