Frequently Asked Questions
The average cost of exhibiting can vary greatly. Factors affecting this cost include booth size and location, design complexity, and the type of trade show. Exhibit offerings range from rental booths to fully customized displays, and price can vary depending on the size of your space, the materials used, and additional add-ons such as LED walls, interactive screens, or furniture. STAR offers all these options, in addition to having four national locations which can help reducing shipping costs, we also own the Featherlite brand, a modular-portable brand that utilizes silicone edged graphics to make them light and easy to assemble, reducing labor and shipping costs.
Common exhibit sizes are 10×10, 10×20 and 20×20. Many larger footprints may be available depending on the show. These can be oriented in three primary ways, inline, corner or island. Inline displays generally have one side exposed to the walkway, while a corner will have two. An island display will be open to all four sides of walkway, allowing for larger footprints and visibility.
A company experienced in trade show booth design, like STAR can help determine the best use of your space and help you design a trade show program that maximizes the trade show assets your company has.
Companies exhibiting strategies typically start by creating a goal and budget. This will help determine the right shows to participate in, the booth size and messaging that is a crucial first step in design. An exhibiting house, like STAR can help define these goals and develop the right strategies to make your exhibiting program a success.
Many companies choose to do their planning annually, but once you have selected a show it can be crucial to begin your planning 6-12 months ahead to ensure there is time for your trade show build depending on complexity. STAR offers full design and shipping services to help map out this timeline, whether your full custom build will take several months, or you need a booth turned around in several weeks.
The best trade show exhibit designs help brands stand out on the tradeshow floor with their messaging and presentation. Using elements such as light boxes or tall towers can help draw eyes to your booth, while elements such as interactive displays, games or giveaways can help keep visitors in your booth and interacting with your brand longer. An exhibit house, like STAR can assist you in designing an exhibit that matches your brand goals.
As an experiential marketing design and manufacturing company, we understand that measuring success at a tradeshow goes beyond just foot traffic. Here’s how you can evaluate your impact effectively:
1. Set Clear Goals Before the Show
- Identify what success means for your business. Is it lead generation, brand awareness, networking, or closing deals? Your metrics will depend on these objectives.
2. Track Quantitative Metrics
- Leads Generated: Use badge scanners or lead-capture software to count qualified prospects.
- Booth Traffic: Measure how many visitors interacted with your booth using footfall counters or digital engagement tools.
- Sales Pipeline Impact: Track how many leads convert into opportunities or closed deals post-show.
- Social Media Mentions: Monitor hashtags, tags, and posts to gauge your digital reach.
3. Assess Qualitative Success
- Brand Perception: Conduct surveys to understand how attendees perceived your brand.
- Engagement Quality: Measure how meaningful your conversations with prospects were. Did they express genuine interest or excitement?
- Feedback from Team and Visitors: Gather insights from your team and booth visitors to identify what worked and what can improve.
4. Compare Against Benchmarks
- Analyze performance relative to past tradeshows or competitors. Are you seeing improved results in leads, traffic, or engagement?
5. Measure Experiential Impact
For companies offering experiential displays, consider the following:
- Interactive Engagement: Track how many attendees participated in hands-on activities or demonstrations.
- Digital Engagements: Measure usage of interactive kiosks, VR/AR experiences, or apps tied to your booth.
