How To Get The Longest Lifespan From Your Trade Show Exhibit - By: Chris Harmen

A trade show exhibit is a valuable investment for your company, and like many valuable investments, it can continue to prove its value over time. However, in order to get the maximum performance from your booth, there are certain questions which must be carefully considered beforehand.

Question 1: Is It Made From The Best Materials?

Any trade show exhibit, regardless of how strong its I&D component, is only as durable as the materials from which it is made. First, any good display should be made to hold some weight. Even if you don't want to display products right now, your future staff may see value in it later. In addition, if you get poor quality materials that can't hold weight, it may be impossible to use multimedia, suspend televisions, or even hold large signs on your I&D structure. While the lower quality material may cost less, it's also less practical in the long run.

Question 2: Is The I&D Component Strong And Sustainable?

In order to last in the long term, a trade show exhibit must be viable in the short term. It has to have a timeless aesthetic, yet also be able to adapt to future trends. It must look trendy without being trendy - a balance that is difficult to achieve. To gain this kind of flexibility, most companies will look to a professional I&D company with more experience in the industry and an increased knowledge of trends. Working with a company can provide a fresh perspective, ensuring that the booth lasts as long as possible without going out of style.

Question 3: Do We Know How To Properly Set It Up?

I&D companies will offer help with setup of your trade show exhibit, but your booths are more flexible if you can learn to use them on your own. If the company offers instructions, learn how to execute them. If not, ask to be shown how it works. Even the best trade show exhibit will be ineffective if you are uncertain how to use it. This is particularly important if you have a modular unit. These units can be configured in a variety of ways, making them the most flexible type of trade show exhibit. In addition, modular units also tend to have a strong I&D component because they must be designed with tremendous care. These units are made to be rearranged and look good from multiple angles, therefore the baseline level of I&D skill required to create one is much higher than would otherwise be necessary.

The End Result: A Multi-Use Trade Show Exhibit

If you get a properly sustainable booth, the uses are virtually endless. For example, you don't have to restrict your usage to formal exhibitions. If you are presenting at a job fair, or any other venue, you can bring the booth along and use it just as you would at a trade conference. A well-designed booth makes quite an impression, whether featured in your company's warehouse, at a conference, or in an exhibition hall. There are numerous uses for a well built trade show exhibit, and those uses only grow as your unit itself becomes more flexible.
