Yes, and even before that…are you at the right show, who is your target market and is the decision maker or influencer attending the show?  And then it is all about location, location and location.  We take a look at main traffic patterns, the show anchors, competition and then we look at the Why?  Why did you select this particular show, what are you expectations, who do you want to meet and how can we best reinforce your brand and your message.  Most new exhibitors think it is all about the pretty graphics at their first show and soon learn it is far more than that.  Professional designers, understand what triggers brand awareness, what architectural elements stimulate an action or engagement and how do we get the graphics to cause a qualified attendee to ask a question!  We can give you the competitive advantage and once the attendee asks the question, the ball is in your court.

In the pre-planning process, we want to insure that you look at what does the post show follow up look like.  Still to this day, attendees complain about the lack of follow up.  We do have distribution capability so just send us the excel file with the priority assigned to the lead and we will dispatch a personalized letter and promotional kit within 48-72 hours.

Even with the light weight materials and fabric graphics specified in exhibit design these days, shipping costs are still at the top of the list for expenses.  I stopped a long while ago using common carriers due to the cost of repairing damaged parts because the rough rides across country.  We partner with Airways Express and benefit from local dispatches that are trained in Trade Show transportation, professionals who understand the show must go on, the exhibit must get there and are clients do not want to be hit with 8 hour wait time fees.
