Exhibitions – Aims and Goals
- back to top
Attending a trade show or exhibition is a considerable
investment in terms of time and resources, as well
as monetary cost, a significant return is vital
to the success of your event. Exhibiting is not
something that should be viewed in isolation, but
as part of an overall marketing strategy; attending
trade shows and exhibitions can be a profitable
route to market for a wide range of industries and
business sectors.
Trade shows and exhibitions are generally short
term events, lasting just a few days. In that short
time a large number of exhibitors and potential
customers are brought together. Weather you are
looking to make direct sales at the show or generate
leads for future follow up it’s worth bearing
in mind that almost _ of visitors to trade shows
intend to purchase at the show or to identify the
product or services they need for a purchase in
the near future . The vast majority of visitors
are decision makers within their organisations,
and these people are in a receptive frame of mind
– they have come to you!
Choosing an Event - back
to top
The first step on the road to successful exhibiting
is to pick the event to attend, use the following
tips to guide you through the process:-
| •
|
Most shows and events are supported
by websites; use this resource to investigate
a specific shows history, with special attention
to visitor and exhibitor figures. |
| •
|
Small local shows can offer
as big a return ratio as larger national events.
And can be useful as a low budget rehearsal
before attending a bigger event. |
| •
|
Is the show well publicised,
will it attract potential customers for your
company? |
| •
|
If your industry has a trade
magazine contact them for information on shows. |
| •
|
The bigger the show, the higher
the visitor count. This is offset by larger
numbers of exhibitors. |
| •
|
Do your competitors attend;
regular attendance would indicate positive
results, again check the show history for
past exhibitor lists. |
| •
|
Speak to your existing customers,
suppliers and competitors – are they
aware of the event and what is their opinion
of the show? |
| •
|
Be aware of options when booking
– Early bookings will allow greater
choice of position whilst late bookings will
potentially allow you to negotiate a discount.
Remember that positioning can make a huge
difference to the success of your show. Also
never be afraid to haggle over stand space
pricing – there’s always a deal
to be done. |
| •
|
Make sure you know exactly what
is included in the cost (see Cost of Exhibiting) |
Measuring Success - back
to top
Once you have decided to use exhibiting as a marketing
tool it is important to measure the success of that
event. To do this a benchmark must be set prior
to the show, this can be a specific number of sales
or firm leads, a quantity of demonstrations carried
out or a specific amount of sales generated in a
timeframe following the show.
A vital aspect of measuring success is data collection,
storage and management. Many leads generated at
a show may take time to come to fruition so you
need to keep track of where and when contact was
made. Many shows offer bar-code scanners to simplify
and speed up the capture of visitor data, when these
systems are set up and used to their full potential
leads can be segregated into many desired categories,
and missing data is kept to a minimum.
Special show only offers or vouchers for future
use, that are only available at the show, can help
track sales origins.
Many customers value an invite to visit your stand
at a show, potentially saving you the cost of visiting
them!
Marketing a new product launch can be a costly business,
timing this to happen at an exhibition can jump
start the process. The ability to reach a large
targeted, receptive, audience can often offset the
entire exhibition budget leaving everything else
as a bonus.
Cost of Exhibiting - back
to top
In order to measure the performance of your event
it is important to establish the costs, an early
understanding of potential outlay will be useful
to set a realistic budget to assist with setting
an achievable and meaningful goal.
| •
|
Exhibition space – Negotiate
for the best deal or position. Booking early
will allow the best choice of position, booking
late will secure the most advantageous prices.
Space is normally costed per square meter;
check what is included in the price. |
| •
|
Exhibition Stands – Choose
your display equipment or method with care,
costs vary greatly depending on the stand
hardware. |
| •
|
Graphic Design – This
can be done in-house for economy, although
professional designs can add impact to the
display. |
| •
|
Electric hook up – Service
supplied by the event organisers, normally
as an additional cost. |
| •
|
Lighting – As for electrics,
normally an additional cost from show organisers. |
| •
|
AV/IT – Electronic equipment
can usually be hired from the show organisers,
check compatibility with your own kit prior
to ordering. |
| •
|
Scanners – useful devices
available at some events to capture visitor
data quickly, by scanning bar-code badges. |
| •
|
Event Organisers – with
all services purchased from the organisers
pay attention to order deadlines, late orders
for electrics, furniture etc can attract considerable
surcharges. |
| •
|
Literature – If large
amounts of literature are to be distributed
this can add considerably to costs. Also remember
to budget for literature display stands and
storage. |
| •
|
Furniture – Can normally
be hired from show organisers, or purchased
from your stand provider. |
| •
|
Transport – Allow costs
for transport to and from the show for the
stand hardware, literature and any stock or
products you take. |
| •
|
Staff – In addition to
wages it is common to incur additional expense
for travel, food, accommodation, parking etc.
Remember to factor in any additional staff
you hire for temporary cover while your staff
are at the show. |
| •
|
Insurance – You will need
check that your policy covers goods at the
show also liability cover for your staff and
third parties. This may involve a premium
top-up. |
| •
|
After Show Costs – You
may incur costs from the show organisers if
your stand area suffers damage or unwanted
material is abandoned on-site. Adhesive residue
or tape on stand walls can be considered damage
by some event organisers, and you may receive
an invoice for cleaning. Check your stand
area carefully before leaving. |
At the Exhibition - back
to top
Exhibitions and trade shows are the ideal environment
to launch new or upgraded products, meet potential
customers or clients, cement existing relationships,
raise brand awareness and generally raise the
profile of your company within its market sector.
With the average visitor, once the look of your
stand area and graphics has secured their undivided
attention you will have a window of opportunity
lasting approximately 3 minutes, after this time
if they are not hooked they will start to feel
trapped and look for excuses to leave.
Make sure you can deliver your message within
this short time frame. Point out the features
and benefits of your product or service, how will
they help the customer? What problems can you
solve for the customer?
If you are demonstrating a product, keep the demonstration
short and simple. Practice until it is perfect,
have an alternate back-up in place to cope with
emergencies. Consider a hands-on demonstration
to allow the customer to get involved with the
product.
Exhibition & Display Graphics - back
to top
At trade shows and exhibitions you have a brief
window of opportunity that lasts mere seconds.
In that short space of time the interest of a
potential client must be captured and their desire
to know more fuelled. Good graphics are a useful
tool to achieve that goal – the rest is
up to you!
Consider carefully the placement of graphics within
the stand space, they need to stand out from a
distance and not be obscured by sales staff or
products.
Keep text to a minimum, use headline or bullet
point text to promote questions and create interest.
Remember if you try and get all the information
on display, you take away the need for direct
contact. Creating a question will give you an
insight into the visitors needs, allowing you
to provide the solution to their problems.
High quality thought provoking images will catch
the attention and increase interest.
If possible use a professional graphic designer
for the creation of your graphics.
We can assist with the design process, or pass
on advice and specifications to your chosen designer.
Exhibition and display graphics are an investment,
if possible keep the artwork to a generic format.
The graphics can then be used at several shows
or events, maximising return.
Exhibition Display Choices -
back
to top
The choices and options available to the exhibitor
seem to be overwhelming and confusing. To give
you the best chance at making the right decisions
we have compiled some advantages and disadvantages
relating to the types of display on offer.
Please do not hesitate to call us for advice,
we will be happy to guide you through some of
these choices personally if you so desire. Tel
02392 463852.
Exhibition Area - back
to top
Choices can vary from show to show but most major
exhibitions and trade shows will offer a choice
between ‘Space only’ and ‘Shell
scheme’ options. Space only areas are just
that, a space to exhibit, quite often with no
floor covering included. Shell schemes offer walls,
carpet and normally a header with the company
name on. Check if the shell scheme has fabric
lined walls.
Shell scheme areas can have 1, 2 or 3 open sides.
Corner situations with 2 open sides are very sought
after.
Some smaller venues offer a simple ‘table
top’ stand, which will normally include
space for a banner stand or similar display.
Custom Build Stands - back
to top
These professionally designed and constructed
displays will give a polished high end look to
an exhibition space. Bespoke designs created individually
to suit your needs, Custom Build Stands are at
the pinnacle of the exhibition field. Most often
used in conjunction with ‘Space only’
areas.
If your budget and expected return will warrant
the expense please call us to discuss your options.
You will be very closely involved in the whole
design process; the stand will be your stand!
Modular Stand Systems - back
to top
To achieve the high end look and feel of a Custom
Build stand there are several Modular Systems
on the market, backed with full CAD design services
these are a viable alternative to limit the budget
and still wow the visitors. Some of these systems
come with installation and hire options others
are aimed at the exhibitor looking for a self-assembly
solution. Can be used with ‘Space only’
or ‘Shell scheme’ options.
Portable Display Stands - back
to top
A portable stand offers the user many advantages
over Custom Build or Modular System Stands. The
lower price tag means much lower initial investment
costs. Ideal for a ‘Shell scheme’
booth
Production times are also shorter, much of the
hardware is kept in stock, and designs are created
on templates, reducing all aspects of production
time. Some display stands can be produced in a
matter of days.
Installation and erection is easy and quick with
portable stands, they are designed with ease of
use in mind. This can reduce the time and skill
levels required at point of display.
Portable displays are flexible enough to be used
in any number of situations and environments,
enabling you to re-use equipment and graphics
time and time again.
Transport costs are kept to a minimum due to the
compact size, and low weight, of dismantled stands.
Most portable display equipment can be transported
by car.
Portable Display Options.
Portable display stands come in a variety of shapes,
formats, sizes and styles. This bewildering array
of options can be confusing to the inexperienced
exhibitor, but the right choice is vital to ensuring
that you get a stand that suits your requirements
and budget!
To simplify the choices, portable displays can
be broken down into the following categories:-
•
Banner Stands
•
Pop-up Stands
•
Panel Displays
•
Roll-able Graphics
All the various elements can be used as display
solutions on their own; although in most cases
a combination of elements can achieve the best
results, depending on venue and space. Contact
our experienced sales staff on 02392 463852, for
advice on the best graphics and equipment for
specific situations.
Banner Stands
- back
to top
The compact nature and low weight of banner stands
make them the ideal solution for displays with
limited space or budget; they are also the easiest
form of display stand to transport. Most come
in a shoulder bag which can be taken on public
transport if required.
Banner stands come in a range of formats to suit
individual needs:-
•
Roller Banner Stands
•
Cassette Banner Stands
•
Tension Banner Stands
•
Outdoor Banner Stands
Roller
banner Stands - back
to top
Roller Banner Stands have a graphic attached to
a spring loaded roller in the base. The graphic
can be retracted into the base by simply unhooking
from the top of the pole and allowing to gently
roll up in the base using the spring tension.
The poles are either a 3 part ‘bungee’
style pole or the more modern telescopic variety,
both collapse to approximately the same length
as the stand base, making transport and storage
easy, all these stands are supplied in a carry
case for convenience. The graphics on most of
these banner stands can be changed or replaced
by us at a future date.
Cassette
banner Stands - back
to top
Essentially a Roller Banner Stand but with the
graphic contained within a removable cassette.
This allows for quick change of image or the ability
to have several pre-loaded cassettes utilising
one base unit. No tools or skills are required
for graphic change.
Tension
Banner Stands - back
to top
Simple frames to which the graphics hook onto,
the frames are normally made from tensioned rods
which keep the graphic tightly in place. There
are many varieties of tension stands available,
some very large and others linkable to form large
displays. Tension stands are very light, easy
to erect and transport. They offer a clean and
stylishly simple, yet effective, solution to graphic
displays.
Outdoor Banner Stands.
These are generally a form of Tension Stand designed
from weatherproof materials. To cope with the
elements outdoor stands have graphics produced
onto heavyweight PVC. Most outdoor stands have
weighted bases to resist the effects of wind.
These bases are normally filled with water, so
can be emptied to reduce transport weights.
Pop-up Stands
- back
to top
Pop-up stands, also referred to as pop-up systems
or pop-up frames, are one of the most popular
forms of large graphic display hardware. The erected
stand creates an almost seamless wall of graphics
in a matter of minutes.
The basis for all pop-up stands is a lightweight
frame made from tubular aluminium components.
The collapsible frame is easily erected by pulling
upright into shape, most modern frames have fully
magnetic fastenings so once upright they will
simply ‘click’ into place. Graphic
location bars are then clipped into place, again
magnetically attached for ease of use. All pop-up
stands supplied by A3M Designs feature fully magnetic
frame components. Once the framework is ready
the graphic panels can be fitted to the front
of the stand, or both sides in the case of a double
sided display. The top of each graphic panel is
fitted with a ‘header’ which will
have a clip-on or magnetic fastener (depending
on model); this locates the top of the panel.
The sides are fitted with magnetic tape which
locates onto the magnetic graphic locator bars.
Once all graphic panels are in place the stand
needs only the addition of lights if these are
to be used.
Models including the ‘Xpress’ and
‘Spyder’ with magnetic fastening headers
are easier to use, and give a small margin for
graphic adjustment, than those with clip-on on
headers such as the ‘Quick’.
Some higher spec stands are made with ‘cross-braced’
frames, this makes the pop-up stand more rigid
and better able to cope with slightly uneven surfaces,
the ‘Spyder’ is a cross-braced stand.
Unless this is a specific requirement the added
cost of cross braced frames is usually unappealing
as the benefits are only marginal in terms of
performance when thick “3 Part” graphics
are used.
Pop-up stands are available in a range of sizes
from desktop promoter units to huge linked display
modules.
Standard kits are described by size ratio. (ie
3x3, 3x4 etc) And are available curved or straight.
This size terminology is derived from the construction
of the basic framework.
The most popular size is a ‘3x3’ stand,
approximately 70% of the pop-up stands we provide
are this size. The second most common being the
slightly bigger ‘3x4’ stand. Smaller
and larger stands are used, but not frequently.
Pop-up stand frames are constructed in square
sections, called ‘Quads’. These are
built up into the desired size at point of manufacture.
(sizes cannot be increased later by adding Quads)
So a 3x3 stand is made up of a frame 3 Quads high
by 3 Quads across.
Different models and manufacturers of pop-up stands
use slightly differing sized Quads, so this size
is not a ‘measurement’ however it
does determine the number of graphic panels needed.
Each Quad stack will have one graphic panel in
front of it; an extra panel is used at each end
of the frame as an end cap on most pop-up stands.
Hence a 3x4 stand will have 4 central panels and
2 end caps. For precise dimensions of each stand
please refer to data sheets specifically for each
model.
Please see the diagram below for information.
Graphic panels, or ‘drops’ as they
are sometimes referred to are 600 to 700mm wide
and between 200 and 2400mm high depending on which
model is used.
These graphic panels can be produced in several
ways, but only two methods give really satisfactory
results.
Using a “2 Part” system the artwork
is printed onto a polyester media with a built
in stoplight, this is then protected with a cold
seal over laminate. This is a quick, easy and
cost effective process.
At A3M Designs we only use the more traditional
“3 Part” method. Using high quality
190gsm photobase paper we can achieve unsurpassable
print quality. This print is then sandwiched between
a 220 micron stoplight and a 150 micron textured
matt laminate. The lamination process is heat
activated, indelibly bonding the three layers
into a thick, strong and durable graphic.
Whilst both these methods are perfectly acceptable,
and will produce visually identical results, the
“3Part” system produces thicker more
durable graphics. These heavyweight graphic panels
are more resistant to damage and also easier to
mount to the stand as they are more rigid. Once
on the stand our graphics actually increase the
structural integrity of the frame, vital if the
floor is slightly uneven, thinner graphics can
be prone to a ripple effect on uneven surfaces.
All pop-up stands supplied by A3M Designs are
erected and inspected prior to despatch. The process
to erect pop-up stands is fairly simple, but please
do not hesitate to contact our team on 02392 463852
if you encounter any difficulties using the equipment.
Once your stand is up please take a few seconds
to make minor adjustments to the graphics to achieve
that perfect line-up.
Panel Graphics.
Rigid display panels or boards are an easy, cost
effective way to put your brand on an exhibition
space. Graphic panels can be used with great success
to line the walls of shell scheme booths or as
infill panels in conjunction with modular systems.
The panels can be attached to walls with Velcro
style fastenings, attachment to fabric lined walls
is simplicity itself.
High quality print is laminated to foamex or similar
display board, usually 3 or 5mm thick. Outdoor
panels can be created using self-adhesive vinyl
print.
With all rigid panels care needs to be taken with
transport and storage, consider purchasing padded
carry cases to transport your boards. These cases
can be custom made to suit your display panels.
Rollable Graphics
- back to top
Rollable graphics can be produced as low budget
laminated posters, which for some events are all
that is required. Higher image quality and a more
professional look can be achieved with polyester
media with built in stoplight. To get the best
impact from rollable graphics, and the longest
life, the use of a 3 part heatsealed semi-rigid
graphic is recommended.
The convenience of a rollable graphic is paramount
when considering transport costs. They are compact,
lightweight and easy to install.
PVC Banners
- back
to top
The major advances in solvent print technology
now allow the PVC banner to be economically digitally
printed. Full colour, almost photographic, quality
artwork can be reproduced on PVC banners.
PVC banners have long been a cost effective medium
for outdoor promotions. The ease of use and transport
make them ideal for temporary or more permanent
displays, portable or static frames can be used
to hang the banners.
PVC graphics can also be used as part of indoor
display stands; the material is tough and durable
so will last from season to season. Some portable
stands and modular systems can be combined with
PVC graphics to great effect.
