How Trade Show Exhibit Designs Can Develop Your Brand

By Alta Alexander


Trade shows give businesses the unique opportunity to encounter prospective clients and lure them to become customers in near future. Using trade show exhibit designs allows you to present your brand in a pervasive manner thus having a cutting edge over your rivals. When you are presenting your brand in these shows, it is usually not the right moment for a sales theme but more of a brand awareness and meeting the potential clients.

It is an opportunity where a company showcases its products and describes its services while also being able to create that important first impression. Information from Simmons Market Research Bureau indicated that 91 percent of people who appeared in trade show events expressed their observation as an extremely useful source for products purchasing information higher than other sources such as on site visits from representatives.

Almost half of the respondents from the research indicated that they had purchased a service or product at the event. The number of people you get in a expo event may be big than you get from sales calls. However, it is the way you engage and approach the prospects that determines how they are going to turn to be customers.

Choose representatives who are knowledgeable on how to conduct themselves when in the expo. You do not want to have someone who will seat at the back and wait everything to take its course. You have to engage the people who visit the booth so that they can be lured and begin to understand more about your brand.

You are getting a rare opportunity, which you can squander or make it a gold mine for your business. If you have attended an expo previously, you probably have an idea of what might be needed. The planning and managing process is perhaps the biggest challenge you have to handle. But equipped with the right information, you might just have a few hurdles to cross.

Having properly crafted marketing material will boost your event. The materials are intended to inform the prospects of the brand, products, and services. You may have things like product sheets, promotional items, sales literature, and follow up information packets, needless to mention business cards.

The booth and the display stands are also critical. The good thing with the booth displays is that they can be seen from a distance. People can see them from far and they will make their way right into your booth. The size, weight, and material for the display will matter a lot. If you can get minimal weight while also having a highly visible display, it will help in cutting down on the cost of transport. Budget is an important element you have to work on.

Setting the right budget will ensure that you do not stretch your finances. If you have smaller spaces, you might want to consider having portable displays, though, you could still minimize the square footage by checking on the dimension and being creative. The way you arrange the display may determine how much time the prospects spend when they get to your booth. You want them to slow down and have sometime in your booth. Consider the depth as it draws visitors right into the booth.
