Overview

A booth that fits this show and leaves room for the next

Your first trade show, a larger space, a different audience. Renting gives you a way to adapt your exhibit without purchasing a booth for every change in your plans.

Start with what your team needs to do: demonstrate a product, display a collection, or sit down with prospective customers. We can combine elements from our rental designs to create a layout around those priorities and your available space.

Give your team room to connect with the people you came to meet.

02 · Rent vs. buy

Should you rent or buy your trade show booth?

Start with your show calendar, budget, and how often your layout needs to change. Renting avoids purchasing the exhibit structure. Buying may offer better value when you can reuse the same booth across a consistent show schedule.

Consider renting when

  • You exhibit occasionally or are testing a new event
  • Your booth size changes from show to show
  • You want to try a different layout before buying
  • You prefer not to store and maintain an exhibit structure
  • You want to budget for a specific event

Consider buying when

  • You have a regular schedule of similar shows
  • The same booth size and layout will keep working
  • You need architecture built for a lasting exhibit program
  • You have a plan for storage, upkeep, and transportation
  • The total cost across your planned shows favors ownership

Budget beyond the boothCompare rental and purchase quotes for the same scope. Include graphics, shipping, installation, dismantling, and any venue charges. For an owned booth, add storage and upkeep between events. The better value depends on your actual plans.

03 · Graphics & branding

Rent the booth. Make it your brand.

Your graphics give the exhibit its identity. Use your logo, product imagery, and messaging to help visitors recognize your company and understand what you offer.

With Godfrey Group rentals, you own the graphics. Keep them for future events and rent the exhibit equipment again when you need it. If your next booth has a different layout, discuss which graphics can be reused and which need updating.
