Renting an exhibit for your next trade show has so many benefits, but you know that because you have already made the decision to rent. Developing a long-term plan could save you thousands of dollars by committing to a multiple-show rental contract. Many companies offer a discount if you agree to multiple rentals up front, even for various size exhibits and different designs. First step is using your graphics from exhibit design to exhibit design … and this can be done in the beginning design work.
Your goal is for every passerby to assume that your fabulous exhibit is owned. It is imperative to work with a custom rental company so you can achieve your specific exhibit marketing goals. Most rental companies have a select number of pre-made exhibits that have graphic change abilities – is that what you really want? A true broad base rental company builds your exhibit using your specifications. It should have a similar look and feel to an exhibit you would purchase but with the added benefit that you can change things out from show to show.
A good rental exhibit company will offer a variety of solutions for monitors and wire management. They will have staff in their office to create graphic applications. Keep a file (with photos and dimensions) of all of the graphics you own. More than likely they can be re-used for future shows. Absolute Exhibits offers crating and storage for all graphics you own at a flat fee.
Your decision to rent may not have come from a concern about the environment, but guess what, you couldn’t be using a greener exhibit! Many rental exhibits use sustainable components, such as recyclable aluminum, fabrics, and reusable packaging. Regardless, there’s no greener way to exhibit than by renting your exhibit. It’s worth promoting to your internal team and sharing with your customers in a pre- or post-show marketing campaign. And don’t forget the flooring. There are lots of green flooring alternatives.
One of the reasons you decided to rent was because you wanted to lessen the headaches that come with managing your own exhibit property. At Absolute Exhibits we ship to and from the show in our own trucks. We also provide I&D services for all rentals as part of the price. Graphics, furniture, flooring, AV, plants, even coffee service are included in your rental project. If you are going to rent – really get the full benefit of one stop shopping.
