Considering that every exhibitor wants to be seen and competes to attract attendees, what can you do to get the best value for time and money with your exhibition booth? Besides letting our team get creative on the layout and attributes, you can think of innovative ways to highlight your brand.

Product Prop

If your firm sells laptops, consider using a large flat-screen television and cardboard design keyboard to give it the feel of a larger-than-life notebook. Add your best brand advert and the visitors will notice. Of course, your exhibition booth may not have all that much space. In this instance, read on as we share more tips on how to make your exhibition booth the talk of the show.

Special Offer – Limited Time

Many event attendees expect discounts and giveaways. Advertise a special offer only available to visitors at the event. Promote the discount through your website, social media pages, and newsletters. But, don’t stop there. Yourdisplay stand must be visible and so must the special.

Forward to Freebies

Swag bags, free beverages, gifts, and discount vouchers are the honeycombs that attract the bees. Make sure that you have enough and advertise them boldly. Everything you give away must have your brand all over it.

Create engagement with competitions at your exhibition booth, enabling attendees to win several small items and have the chance to win something impressive. Announce that attendees must be at your trade stand at a certain time and day for a chance to win the big item.

Go Big or Go Even Bigger

Gigantic swag bags with your brand splashed all over will attract attention. Best of all, the visitors will walk around the trade show advertising your brand. Many more attendees will pop in for their free bags.

Phone-Charging Station

Show you care about customer needs. Add a phone-charging station and offer free beverages for the visitors while they wait. Think about it. The visitors are in your booth, glued to the phone-charging station. They have nowhere else to be and you have their attention. Create interactive displays and use the opportunity to engage with them.

Notebook or Laptop Stations

Provide free Internet access and notebook stations. Add comfortable seating and you have people willing to stay. During this period, your interactive displays run and customer engagement activities are offered.

Selfie Booth

Gone are the days of photo booths. Today, we have selfie booths. Make yours so amazing that visitors will want to stop. Guess what’s in the background? Your brand message is all over it. Every selfie taken is thus an advert for your brand. Create hashtags and provide a range of props to intrigue and inspire. Your exhibition booth will become the hotspot for sharing and posting selfies.

Make the most of events such as the upcoming Wines2Whales, Windaba, and Africa Oil Week. Let us provide you with the ultimate exhibition booth.

Time is limited and event organisers, as well as exhibitors, require infrastructure solutions that can be set up and disassembled quickly, without compromising on the professional display.

Exhibition facilitators are looking for ways in which to do more without adding to their infrastructure or extending the amount of time spent on setting up. To this end, more and more organisers are looking for solutions that are available from leading display and exhibition design companies.

Organisers want to maximise the participation of the exhibitors and sponsors.

The use of more technology in exhibition infrastructure is also a trend that can be expected to continue.

At Scan Display we have recently released this particular product to the market. The unit itself only requires 0.5 m³ of space whereas old designs required as much as 1 m³. This new design allows for all wires to be raised above floor level and concealed conduit channels which have been specially designed. It is no secret the exhibitors have had many issues with old style or standard styled options and a great movement has been seen towards making use of these new units. We can install these units in every 3m x 3m cluster at an exhibition and can guarantee that each exhibitor will enjoy the new compact and concealed design.

The new stand options also make use of LED lighting which is known to save up to 80% on energy consumption and costs. Of course another benefit of using this type of lighting is that the working environment will not get as hot as it might have before with other types of lighting and you are now able to focus lighting whereas it was not entirely possible before.
