Promote personal hygiene on your next exhibition stand

With the announcement of live business events scheduled to begin again from the 1st October, it is imperative to make sure that both exhibitors and visitors feel safe when attending their next trade shows.

It is also a testing time for companies to financially commit to exhibiting at a trade show, with the uncertainty of what the future holds for all business sectors.

To help companies get back to attending business events, we have come up with an affordable solution for bespoke stand spaces with personal hygiene front and centre to ensure that all exhibitors and visitors feel safe and relaxed when discussing business opportunities together.

Our exhibition stand designs ensure full branding exposure, while also including protective screens, hand sanitiser stations and floor markers.  The design can be modified to suit all stand sizes, from small 3m x 2m shell schemes all the way up to larger island spaces.

Is your company planning on getting back to exhibiting again?  If so, feel free to contact us today on 01992 642 642 or email info@mxlltd.evmk.dev to discuss your stand requirements and how we can implement personal hygiene onto your stand space.

What Do I Need To Include In My Exhibition Stand Brief?

Providing your exhibition stand designer with a detailed brief is key to ensuring that your stand design will work for you. The hardest task for any stand designer is to be given a blank canvas to work from. It may sound ideal, but in reality your exhibition stand should reflect your business; and nobody knows your business and brand better than you do. To help you get started on writing the perfect exhibition stand brief, here is our list of essential details to include:

Name And Information Of Company Exhibiting

This may seem obvious, but it’s important to know the correct name of the company exhibiting and information about that company. We do not need a history lesson, just a brief overview about the company and services.

Name Of Exhibition, Venue And Dates Of The Show

Another obvious one, but again it’s very important to know the name of the show as well as the venue location and dates. It’s also very good to know the dates for build up and dismantle, but not essential as we can always check this for you.

Reasons For Attending The Show

Are you looking to gather more leads? Is the stand going to be used for client meetings? Are you trying to raise brand awareness? Having a clear objective will help us design a stand that will best suit your specific goals.

Stand Information

Is your stand a space only or shell scheme? What is the size of your stand? How many open sides does your stand have? Is there a maximum build height? If you’re not too sure about any of these, then it’s best to share your stand number and we can check with the show organisers for you.

Brand Guidelines And Artwork

All of our stand designs are presented in 3D visuals. By sharing your brand guidelines and artwork we can make sure that the colour palette and your logo is portrayed correctly. Please note that all of our designs are for visual purposes only, meaning that any of the colours and logo positionings can be altered.

Products Or Services That You Will Be Showcasing

This is basically your key selling point on your stand, so is fundamental to the overall design. Do you have a certain product that needs to be displayed on a plinth? How will you be showing off your service that you provide? By understanding your product or service, we can make sure that the stand helps to promote this in the best way possible.

Do You Require A Reception Area / Meeting Area / Storage / Furniture?

There are traditional components of an exhibition stand that are used time and time again, simply because they are very useful. A reception counter is perfect for greeting visitors onto your stand. Storage is key to ensuring that the stand stays neat and tidy. Meeting areas can either be private, semi-private or completely open depending on how you wish to engage. And different furniture styles help reflect your company image. Not all components will work for you, but if you think that it is essential or will prove useful then let us know!

Do You Require Any AV Equipment?

AV is very popular and a great way for visitors to engage. With the popularity of tablet devices and touchscreens, there are plenty of possibilities out there. However, it is important to make sure that you have the correct media to show off. Nothing looks more unprofessional than having a screen or tablet without any relative media on it.

Will You Have Any Promotional Collateral Such As Brochures Or Promotional Giveaways?

Having a range of memorable promotional items and literature will help emphasise your overall brand impact for visitors, keeping your company name in their mind long after the show. It’s good to know what you plan to have on the stand so we can incorporate enough storage space, as well as have them displayed for easy access. This can be literature racks, bag hooks or additional shelving.

Are You Looking To Re-Use Your Stand For Future Shows?

If you are attending more than one trade show a year then we can look at ways of re-using the same stand elements to fit within different stand spaces and shows. We offer storage as well if you wish to re-use bespoke stand components each year.

Budget

Nobody likes to mention the ‘B’ word when it comes to getting a quote, but knowing your proposed budget can help us decide on the best solution for your stand design. As everything we do is bespoke, there are plenty of different options available to suit all budgets. If you’re unsure on your budget then we are always here to help!   So now that you are ready, make sure to send us your amazing exhibition stand brief so we can create the perfect stand design for you!

Top 5 Reasons Why Trade Show Freebies Are Worth The Investment

For people not numbers tote bag.
The freebie has become a staple part of trade shows and exhibitions. Like it or not, promotional gifts are extremely popular – virtually no-one goes home empty-handed, so you might as well throw your brand into the mix and enjoy the many benefits they bring. If you’re spending hundreds or, more likely, thousands of pounds exhibiting at a trade show in the first place, then promotional gifts will cost just a small proportion of that budget. Here are the reasons why they are worth the investment.

1. They work!

A study by the Georgia Southern University found that 71.6% of those surveyed who’d been given a promotional gift remembered the name of the company. The same study found that 76.3% of delegates had a more favourable attitude towards the brand. That’s a huge percentage of goodwill!

2. They make people happy

People love gifts! They not only make those receiving them smile, they’ll also help enhance their opinion of your brand. You want them to display and/or use your promotional gift when they get back to work, which means your brand will always be in their minds, making it more likely they’ll get in touch if they ever need your services or products.

3. They bring more people to your stand

If you have a popular freebie, you’ll definitely get attention. A good gift will encourage people to come to your stand, and that will give you the chance to talk to them. The more people who visit, the busier your stand will look, and a busy stand always attracts even more people to it. Success breeds success!

4. They enhance brand awareness

Make sure your gifts are clearly branded so your name will be visible to other visitors at the trade show. Remember that people will probably put small freebies straight into a bag, so if you want your logo to stand out at the event, why not have the bag itself as your giveaway? Cotton tote bags are always popular as they are eco-friendly and have the potential to be reused many times, meaning your brand will have the chance to be seen by even more people – you never know who’ll see your logo in a supermarket queue! To give you continued brand awareness, make sure your gift is a practical one so when the recipients get back to the office they will use it. This will not only keep your brand in their mind, it will also increase awareness of it among their colleagues.

5. They reflect your brand

Remember that whatever you decide to give away, it needs to reflect your brand. There’s no point in telling clients you offer high-quality products or services, and then handing them something that appears cheap and down-market because you’ll be giving mixed messages. If Corporate Social Responsibility is important to your organisation, think about using recycled or eco-friendly products, which are becoming more and more popular. Just ask us if you need any advice on promotional gifts for your next trade show.
