Developing Winning Custom Trade Show Displays

By Ida Dorsey


Marketers of goods and services keep looking for new ways to capture the attention of buyers. There are many ways of doing this. One way is to hold exhibitions which provide a chance for the marketers to interact with buyers. Displays are held when introducing new products in the market and also for existing ones. During the shows, fresh sales leads are generated which lead into increased sales. Custom trade show displays are vital for marketers as they create new contacts in their industry.

The first step is to develop a plan to be followed during the event. A plan is necessary to ensure the show is focused on the right category of consumers. It will also avoid using your finances in the wrong areas. You need to identify from the beginning the purpose of the show. Once the purpose has been isolated, it will be easy to identify the required functions.

Planning will help you know what technical specifications will be necessary for the exhibit. Perhaps you will need boosting the security or consider using videos and other materials. If these will be required, planning early will help you organize how everything will be put in place. When proper plans are in place, most of the hitches will be avoided.

Banners are used during the displays. The banners should be used effectively as they are limited in space. You need to know the best message to put on them, without losing your objective. Most marketers use the main messages and avoid clutter on the banners. Visitors to the exhibition have very little time to read everything on the banner.

Your booth should be quite attractive in order to be noticeable. More will be required in terms of enhancements to the booth. All accessories, lighting and other necessary fixtures should enhance the aesthetics of the booth. Remember there will be other firms fighting for the attention of the people coming to the exhibit.

After clearly understanding what you require, the next step is to create a design for the booth. Various models can be used. The most common ones are tabletop, modular or floor models. The graphics should be very simple for anyone to read. The branding should be clear to help the people identify your company easily. Ensure the name; logo and tag-line of your firm are clear to all.

During the displays, products from the company are given out. This is a good strategy as it allows potential customers to sample the products. However, it can be a waste of company resources if it is not handled properly. It is good to be selective and issue them to those people with the highest potential to become buyers.

Select the right design firms. It is now easy to find design firms through the web. It is desirable to select those near as you are able to consult easily and visit other displays together. Local firms are able to adjust to changes in planning and designing. However, online firms have the advantage of offering better prices.
