Category: Exhibition Stands

So, you are attending an Exhibition; you’ve chosen a theme, organised a stand and picked your team. What’s next? Well, something that many people can often overlook is furnishing your exhibition stand.

Having a beautiful, eye-catching stand is an ideal way to grab people’s attention, especially if you are surrounded by the generic. Nowadays we are seeing more and more people upping their game when it comes to stand design. So, if you want to increase footfall and engage as many people as possible – considering what you are offering them within your stand is not something to overlook.

What Furniture Should I Use?

The furnishings that you use (or don’t use) within your stand should be centred around making your visitors feel as comfortable and as ‘at home’ as possible.

When considering what type of furnishing would be best for you, take a look at the theme of your stand and choose things that will help bring that concept to life. Your aim is to engage and be remembered by your visitors, so don’t worry about being too ‘out there’, if something works with your theme, then give it a go.

If you are using your stand to promote your spa hotel, for example, then consider the use of mood lighting and a cocktail bar. For those that are promoting software, then PC stations and plasma screens may be the right choice. There is really no limit to what you can include, especially with 200m2 determination to source anything a client might need!

What are the Benefits of Using Furniture?

There are many obvious benefits to use furniture as a way of customising your stand and encouraging visitors to come over to your spot at an exhibition or event. These include:

• The more at ease a person feels, the more open and communicative they will be towards your company and the services you’re offering to them.
• Using brand colours within your furniture and props that your customers and prospects will recognise is even more likely to encourage engagement.
• Have you got a new product or offer coming out soon? Advertise this alongside furniture to make your promotions seem as natural and encouraging as possible. This is a great way to spread awareness and encourage sales.

Attending an exhibition is a big investment to make, so it’s important to ensure that you have the right team on-hand to produce maximum results. 

So, how can you measure exhibition success from your team?

What are the Different Ways You Can Measure Success?

How do you know that you have achieved success? Well, as with any type of undertaking, the only way to know if it has been a success is to measure it. To do this, you need to set out a goal, or targets, that indicate what you want your team to achieve. These could be things such as:

• Stand footfall
• Competition entries
• Email Sign-ups
• Conversions e.g. appointments or meetings created.

 

Once you have your goals decided, it’s time to put in place how you will measure this throughout the event. Ensure you have a system in place to keep track of competition entries and conversions, this may be in note form or recorded digitally.

If you want people to be able to use a tablet to sign up to your newsletter right then and there, make sure to add tags to their details in your email software to keep track of exactly who came through the event.

Measuring stand footfall is much more reliant on your exhibition team and there does need to be a level of trust that they will measure this accurately for you. It may involve using a clicker system to count conversations and individuals who show interest in your stand.

These key performance indicators (KPIs) can then be collected and examined after the exhibition to see how close to the set target they came. These can also be done as a team or on an individual basis.

Teamwork

There are, of course, other factors to consider when measuring the success of your team, other than hard data. Getting sign-ups and conversions are all well and good, but a lot of work goes into the background of an exhibition. It is equally important to ensure that the team can work together as a cohesive unit.

Setting up a strategy to examine what has been achieved by your staff, in a way that the whole team can contribute is a great start. This may influence your decision for your next exhibition team, which undoubtedly will impact your KPI results.

This would help you review which goals were met during the exhibition and give an idea of what could be changed for next time if they weren’t. This will help you get a plan in place for your next event or exhibition and understand which staff members are best in different areas, for next time.

A strategic plan will help you measure if the team worked well together, or if there were areas in which some struggled. It may be that in future you would need to change certain roles within your exhibition team, or perhaps remove some team members entirely – not everyone is suited to fronting an exhibition stand, and that is ok.

Success is a process, not an instant result!

Set a Schedule

Setting and keeping to a schedule is another good way of measuring team success, along with problem-solving. Did those within the teamwork together cohesively? Was everything managed on time and to schedule? If any problems arose; were they dealt with efficiently and calmly?

Visitor Feedback

Finally, a real indicator of how successful a team is at an exhibition is the feedback from visitors. A team that works together knows what their goals are and how to achieve them and will display a confident and capable appearance to visitors.

Use feedback sheets or simply ask how their experience was to measure how comfortable your team were making visitors feel.

New Year, new exhibition stand!

Switch up your exhibition displays and catch the attention of new leads for your business with the right stand this year.

What are Truss and Gantry Stands?

A truss system refers to the triangular structure of the exhibition stand. The interconnected metal elements create a criss-cross structure to provide additional support and contributes to its longer-lasting quality. We offer different sizes of truss structures for our exhibition stands that each offer strength and efficiency in different ways.

This type of stand structure is available in all shapes and sizes, giving you more flexibility for choice. The rigid framework is suitable for temporary uses due to its portability and can be displayed outside during summer events.

This flexibility provides a solution for setting up your stand for numerous trade shows and events and is great value for money compared to some of the other models available.

What are the Benefits?

Lightweight and Durable

These stands are lightweight and durable for repeated usage, making it easy for transportation. This is also a benefit when considering the storage of the stand when not in use.

Our stand is lined with plastic and internally made from aluminium for hidden strength and longer-lasting quality. This strong design allows the stand to be compatible with other accessories and components like screens, lighting and furniture.

Adaptability

In terms of the structure’s adaptability, they are specifically designed to fit any space or location as different lengths of trussing can be used in our modular stands.

We understand that everyone has different preferences in terms of the stand’s dimensions. We offer three sizes of trussing to choose from, and each design caters for additional components to be added and bolted on with no tools required. 

The Types of Truss We Offer

• X-20 Trusswire: A foldable stand which can be adapted to fit any floor space and height. This is recommended for stands that need to fit a larger space.
• X-145 Expowire: Made from aluminium and composite, this stand is suitable for those who would like a smaller exhibition stand.
• X-10 Crosswire: This is the most portable stand design as it’s extremely light-weight and easy to build.

 

At 200m2 our mission is to provide simple and easy to use designs for our customers that display the correct vision of your business.
