We know exhibiting can be an expensive proposition. Here are six quick tips to help you get more bang from your exhibit budget.<\/p>\n
1. RENT<\/strong><\/p>\n Booth rental can make a lot of sense, especially if you\u2019re new to exhibiting or not sure what your long-term plan is. And if you rent from a local company, you\u2019ll save significantly on shipping and storage.<\/p>\n 2.REPAIR & REFURBISH<\/strong><\/p>\n New York Banners are experts in trade show exhibit repair.<\/p>\n Rather than replace an entire exhibit that\u2019s showing a little wear and tear or needs updating, consider refurbishing it instead. Replacing a few outdated graphics or some worn fabric is much cheaper than a brand new exhibit.<\/p>\n 3.<\/strong>CONSOLIDATE<\/strong><\/p>\n Try and make as few shipments as possible; each shipment costs you extra money. If you have to ship another pallet, make sure it\u2019s shrink wrapped to count as a single unit.<\/p>\n 4.BE CAREFUL WITH GIVEAWAYS<\/strong><\/p>\n Consider making your giveaways \u201cevergreen\u201d by not making them tied to a specific date or location. That way you can use them at your next events as well. You\u2019ll be able to order in bulk rather than expensive short-run orders, and you\u2019ll have far less wastage.<\/p>\n 5.<\/strong>LESS IS MORE<\/strong><\/p>\n A printed banner doesn\u2019t have to include all your details, special offers, or the date & location. Keep your banners simple so you can use them at multiple events. Your booth staff will be able to share all the info your customers need in floor conversations.<\/p>\n 6.CO-OPERATE<\/strong><\/p>\n Find an allied local business that you can share space with. This can be a great solution if your businesses have real synergy. You can even share marketing leads and cross-pollinate so you both do better.<\/p>\n
