Top Considerations When Making Custom Trade Show Exhibit Design

By Ida Dorsey


You want awareness of your business. But to do this, you need to promote yourself. However, even the knowledge of basic promotion is not enough to forward your cause. There is just too much competition in the market. And unless you are highly visible or you pull off some thing that is exceptionally a head turner, then you may not get the attention that you want.

But here is the catch, you can promote yourself as early and as effectively as you want. One great way to do this is through custom trade show exhibit design. You do not need to sell something at this point just yet. This event is geared to improving your presence in the market so that those who do not know about you yet but are interested to take a look will have the chance. It is for free and it brings in many people.

If you are planning to make one for your business, it is vital that you know the considerations. These are things that you have to think about prior to creating one. We have listed them down below.

One, is the branding and identity. It is the identity of the exhibit. When people attend the gathering, they should be able to recognize you as this product from that. You have to make an impact in order to be remembered.

Target niche. As mentioned, this exhibit is for them and not just for you. You do the organizing, preparation and the like but at the end of the day, the effectiveness of all you have done is measured by the response of your market. If your niche are male, adult, businessmen but found a lot of teen girls on the event, then maybe something about it had piqued their interest. And maybe, you did not do well enough in impressing your real target.

Three, the location. A great design will still not be effective in the absence of a good location. In order to optimize the great benefit of an exhibit, you need to situate it at a strategic location. This means that the place has to be accessible most especially to your main market. If you target the teens, you would not want to place your exhibit somewhere near the nursery school.

Four, the budget. You cannot put up an exhibit without the budget. It is your budget that can jump start things. The materials, logistics and all other expense that you need to spend for the event will be all taken from your budget. Do not be tempted to borrow huge money just to provide for it. Stick to your own and then find alternatives.

Five, the product presentation. Just like in a wedding ceremony, the bride prepares well for the groom. Before they meet at the altar, she dresses at her best to become the most beautiful woman in the event. Your products should be the same. A great exhibit design should be coupled with a great product presentation.

The great thing about custom design is you get to create it according to your vision. You, after all, know your product best. You know what you want for it and what you want for your business. So naturally, it has a touch of personality on it. Wow your customers with an awesome exhibit.
