How to Order Show Services for a Trade Show - Top 7 Tips

Great info from Gallo - Event Marketing Blog. Coordinating the logistics associated with exhibiting at a show can be daunting - more so when you exhibit at multiple shows. It does not have to be overwhelming . These basic tips will go a long way to easing anxiety.

And if all else fails, you may decide outsourcing is the way to go  (espeically if you exhibit at multiple shows) -  which may save you money in the long run. An experienced exhibit house will work hard to get the biggest bang for your buck (best labor, quicker set-up/teardown, review of final invoices, etc.) finding ways to lower costs that may be missed.  More on this later....

Happy Exhibiting!

Don't Let Little Things Become Big Things

Another great article from Jay Forte.

Day in and day out little nuisance things happen to us – little things – you stumble, drop some papers, take a wrong turn, spill a cup of coffee or lose your cell phone connection. In our busy and over-scheduled lives, little events become big events. And when already frazzled, a truly large event now becomes completely unmanageable.

Read the entire article by clicking on the title. Always great "use now" info!

“An Inconvenient Booth”, a report on the impact of the green movement on the trade show industry.

Check out this report on "green" exhibiting. It may open your eyes to the challenges we face as we strive to change the way we build exhibits and what we choose to purchase. Please click on the title to get the full report.

At Evo Exhibits, we continue to provide unique green exhibit options. The future is green....it is only a matter of how long it will take our industry to adjust and our clients to push for more eco-friendly options. That push/pull will continue for many years to come. It is my belief that the sooner our clients demand more green options, the faster our industry will change. In the meantime, we at Evo continue to make the offer and strive to encourage all of our customers to consider the impact we all make on our environment.

A Great Rental!

Renting can be an excellent choice if the following situations apply:

You didn't budget for a purchase;
You have two shows where the dates conflict;
You are unsure what you want to purchase and want to "try out" a display before you buy;
You are only going to exhibit one or two times in a 12 month period;
You own an exhibit that will not work for an upcoming show;
You want to save on shipping costs (or pay nothing) (often the rental facility is very close to the show site);
You don't expect to change graphics for a while and want to reuse them for a few years;
You want to try out a few variations for a few shows before you buy;
You may never exhibit after one show or may only exhibit every other year;
You need a really big exhibit and just can't afford to buy

This is just one of many rentals available in the marketplace. If you rent, you might as well go with the coolest exhibit that meets your needs.
