Take Pictures of Your Trade Show Display

Thursday, May 21st, 2009

Taking pictures of your trade show display are important.  Not only because it is nice to see the different places that the display has been and the events that you have participated in, but because it is also important to see the different ways that the display has been showcased.  You can then go back and see what has worked best with your set up.  Did the traffic with your trade show exhibit booth increase with certain set ups or did it decrease?  What was the best display lighting?  How did it look in a corner or on the end of an aisle?  keeping track of these things through photographs can help you with future set ups.  The other thing that it allows, is for you to be away and have another person set the trade show display without you being present.  Perhaps your flight was delayed and you need to have someone else set up the booth.  Sending them a picture on their cell phone can help them see how the display is to be set up.  Taking pictures can be important.  Tell your exhibit booth to strike a post next time it is in place.

Transporting Your Trade Show Display

Wednesday, May 20th, 2009

With the number of trade shows and conventions or meeting and conferences some companies are attending, it is important to make sure that it is also affordable.  Making sure that your booth is affordable is also a consideration.  If you are doing a number of shows every year, and you have a number of people that are working in each show it my be beneficial to have a easily transportable trade show display or exhibit booth.  If it takes a plane, a truck a train, a forklift and a team of people to set it up, it may not be the most affordable option.  If your trade show display is easy take down and set up and anyone on your team can do it that may be the best option.  There are many displays that take elaborate and complex instructions to set up and that can be costly.  There are others on the other hand that are put right on the plane with you carried in and out of the convention floor and popped right up and are ready for use.  That can be the best bet when wanting to travel light.  How about your trade show display?  Is it easy to assemble?  Can anyone on your team set it up?  This might be a consideration when picking out your display to be used as a sales tool.
