When it comes to selecting the right exhibition stand for your company, one of the essential things that you will need to consider is the type of frame that you go for. Not all exhibition stand frames are the same, so it is a good idea to consider all of your options to ensure that you make the best decision for your company and the employees that you will be sending to any exhibitions or conferences. 

If exhibitions and conferences are not really a feature in your marketing campaign, then there is a good chance that you are missing out on a vast pool of untapped and unexplored marketing potential. Worst still, there is every possibility that your competitors are gaining new business because you are not there.

More and more companies in the same field are vying for new clients, so it is no longer enough to just turn up to a conference or an exhibition with your exhibition stand and hope for the best.

You need to do something a little different, something that shows your company in the best possible light. 

When it comes to your exhibition signage, there are so many choices out there that can offer you the flexibility and versatility for each and every event that your company might attend.

Whether you want to use a popup stand, a banner system, a tension fabric system or any other type of system that is out there, choosing the right kind of exhibition stand and signage can really make all the difference.

As commercial property prices continue to rise, many retailers are finding it increasingly difficult to create a presence for themselves on our high streets and in our shopping centres.

This trend is even more prominent amongst smaller, less well-known brands who lack the financial resources necessary to enable them to compete with more well-established names.

Without the capital and collateral required to lease a physical retail space, these brands are becoming priced out of business by the sector’s bigger players.

But this does not have to be the case…

Exhibitions are hugely important for any brand that is hoping to expand its market presence, promote new products and services, build its network of industry contacts or even scope our its competition. This much is no secret, that’s for sure.

Conferences, by contrast, generate a significantly smaller amount of interest with retailers from every sector frequently reporting that they feel uninspired about the marketing opportunities that are available at conferences.

When we speak about the concept of experiences, we’re referring to the times when a person interacts with facts, things or events which leave an impression on them.

Such experiences are inherently sensory phenomena.

We might hear an unfamiliar noise or taste our favourite food, all the while instinctively acknowledging that we are experiencing them directly.

We can translate this understanding of experience into the world of marketing, retail and business development.

That is, every conscious interaction that a customer has with a brand’s products, employees, and buying environments all come together to form their overall perception of its identity.

It’s 2019, and the majority of us wouldn’t go into a coffee shop without a reusable cup, or ask for a plastic straw from a restaurant anymore.

Small changes can make a big difference.

Can the same apply to exhibitions & events? We’ve all seen the pictures on build-up day where cardboard and bubble wrap fills the walkways, each of which can be recycled. 

But what about the exhibition stands themselves?

Are you looking to get a leg up on the competition when it comes to your next exhibition?

We’ve all been there.

Exhibiting at trade shows can be truly rewarding for business organisations and offers a number of benefits.

Although it can be time-consuming to organise everything needed for trade show exhibits, they are a very good marketing technique for companies and can provide great returns on investment (ROI), when compared to other marketing strategies.

The sphere of exhibition stand designing is drastically changing.

In today's economy, displays have to spark sales conversations by attracting and holding the interest of potential clients during trade shows and other marketing events.

Retail concessions continue to grow in popularity, as retailers and brands alike are looking to join forces to drive down the cost of high-street retail.

Traditionally a retail concession would be a stand-alone display in the walkway of a mall or high street.
