Exhibit rentals are a great way to promote a business and find customers. If you are looking to sell or launch a product by renting an exhibition stand, the potential profit for your company is enormous. Don’t just hire the first exhibit rental that comes along though, remember to do your homework first to make sure the exhibit rental will suit your business and be value for money.
Potential exhibit rentals are found by looking through a search engine such as Google, if you know of an upcoming exhibition then you can also get in touch with the organizers to obtain further details of their exhibit rentals.
This package should contain details of all relevant costs that will apply to you. How much the exhibit rental is, the expected number of visitors to the exhibition, facilities for staff, companies they can recommend for visual and audio promotion, a map of the stands and the flow of customers through the exhibition.
Does the cost also include the stand itself and any graphic materials that you will need? Your company logo and name must be on the graphic materials to make an impact and have potential customers wander over to your exhibit rental. It is also essential to have a back panel for your stand to keep any potential customers from being distracted.
The second most important decision after your exhibit rental, is staff to work the stand for you. If you are a small business then you may be tempted to cut costs by manning the stand yourself however this is the perfect way to lose money.
What will happen when you need the toilet or lunch break? If you have a customer really interested in your product that wants to talk a long time, then other customers waiting could lose interest and wander off. Ideally you need two members of staff, these are hired on a temporary basis if you do not have the staff to spare.
Don’t forget to hire staff to work your stand for you, ideally you will need to have two members of staff as one staff member could be chatting to a potential customer for a long time. Toilet and lunch breaks will also be needed. The perfect way to waste money is to hire an exhibit rental and then lose potential customers because your one member of staff is on a lunch break.
Last but not least, you will need to make sure your customers have something to remember you by. Ideal giveaways at an exhibition are pens, mouse mats, mugs or a simple brochure. This not only helps the customer to remember you and your services but it is great promotion of your product and company.
