Pop-Up displays – Fastest Way to Set up a Trade Show Booth
Monday, March 21st, 2011
It has been a common practice among businesses to use pop-up displays for promoting their products and services at trade shows, in-house sales counters and shopping malls. With time, the quality and the standard of pop up displays has improved greatly, making them easier to set up, convenient to store and carry around, and durable for a longer use. So before you buy or rent a pop up display for your tradeshow, you should be clear about the kind of pop ups available and what is right for you.
Popup displays are available in a variety of designs, shapes and sizes and can be used for main display or for backdrops. You can choose from arched or flat paneled pop ups, pop up display towers that are ideal for central display, and one-sided, two-sided or three-sided pop ups that can be used as backgrounds. You can use these pop ups individually or combine them to make your trade show booth more attractive.
Unlike the older models, newer popup displays can be set up, maintained and carried around by just one person. These displays come with strong magnets that make the setting up process simpler and faster – you can set up your trade show booth in as little as 2-3 minutes with a newer pop up display. Browse the net for a suitable piece or go for customized pop-up displays. In case you are renting a pop up display, ask the rental service about the various models available and tell them about your requirements so that they can suggest the right type of pop up display for you.
Pop Up Displays – Ideal Options for Small Trade Show Booths
Thursday, March 3rd, 2011
Pop-up displays are a very popular display option used by businesses, both small and big, for trade shows and other events. These displays let you present the main features of your business in an easy to assimilate visual plus text form. You can opt for pop ups where the fabric and frame work are separate and the fabric is stretched over the framework to create the display. There are others where the fabric is permanently affixed to the framework and the entire display can be folded up and stored away.
The former kind is the most compact display option you will find in the market. This pop up display usually comes with a collapsible framework or one that can be dismantled into separate pieces. The fabric can simply be removed and folded up separately. The entire display can be conveniently stored away in a corner of the smallest trade show booth without obstructing movement within the booth. When you need the display, simply snap the frame into place and roll the fabric display over it. This display comes with hooks and loops that let you attach the fabric perfectly over the frame to create an ‘instant’ visual.
Multi sized frames and telescopic frames are best for those booths where space is a constraint. With these frames you can choose to attach different fabrics depending on what is relevant to your customer. This keeps the customer’s attention focused on the subject of your sales pitch. You can quickly change the display when another customer walks in or when you need to change the look of your stall.
If versatility, compactness and affordability are your priorities then opt for fabric pop-up displays for your next exhibition and benefit from the difference it makes to your stall.
Use Large Pop Ups to Add a Stunning Stall Background
Tuesday, February 22nd, 2011
Large sized pop-up displays can make a spectacular background for your products or multimedia displays. The main advantage of using a pop up as a background is that you can completely reinvent your stall by simply changing the graphics on this display.
A large sized pop up is as easy to assemble and as compact in storage as a smaller one because most of the parts can be disassembled quickly into small pieces. The fabric can be rolled up or folded away. This makes it easy for you to store two or three different fabrics with varying text and graphic content in your trade show booth, however small its dimensions may be. The display of a pop up can be changed quickly by a single person so that it takes just minutes to give your entire booth a completely different theme on each day of a business event.
Pop up displays can also be paired with modular displays or interactive displays to offer an enclosed space within your booth. This gives the viewer or customer a private area to explore your product or learn more about your business without interruptions. Even pairing two large interlinked pop-up displays can give you a ‘wall’ that effectively separates visitors to your stall from the crowd outside.
These innovative uses are possible with pop-up displays mainly because they are lightweight and easy to move around. So if you are looking for a display option that gives you the flexibility to constantly change the look and feel of your stall, opt for a pop up display.
How to Choose the Right Pop-Up Display
Monday, February 14th, 2011
There are many variations available in the market with pop-up displays. The wide array of options makes it confusing for a first time trade show participant to choose the right one for his event. Here are a few pop-ups that you can choose from:
Basic No Frills Displays
The cheapest options among pop-ups are the basic fabric displays. These are comprised of a fabric screen with visuals or text that can be stretched over an aluminum frame. Fabric displays can be washed quickly and easily for a fresh and brand new look in time for the next event. You can also opt for vinyl pop-ups instead of fabric ones if you prefer a glossy look.
Pop Up Towers
If you want a display that will set your stall apart from the rest then tower displays are a good choice. These displays come in unique serpentine or wavy shapes as well as regular cylindrical ones. You can choose one that matches your stall dimensions as well as your stall’s theme. For example, a construction company can choose a tower display with the right graphics to make it look like a real building.
Adaptable Interlocking Displays
If you intend to use your pop-ups at several trade shows, it is difficult to predict the dimensions of the various booths in advance. With adaptable pop-up displays, you can transform the same display to fit within any booth size. The ideal for this kind of use are the ones that can be interlocked to form one single display or disassembled to create separate stand alone pieces.
Pop-ups displays are not just compact and easy to assemble, they are also quite affordable even for small businesses. Get a pop up display today and make sure you garner the maximum attention at your next trade show.
Types of Pop-Up Displays
Monday, February 7th, 2011
Pop-up displays are perhaps the most common form of trade show displays, preferred and used by many businesses, because of their flexibility, light weight, and versatility. You can use them as main displays or as accessories to a main display at an exhibition, indoor or outdoor marketing event, promotional event and a product launch, as they are available in a variety of sizes, shapes and designs – including 2D and 3D prints. While you can get a custom made pop-up display for your trade show, the most commonly used types are straight pop up displays and curved pop up displays.
The straight popup displays are usually chosen for back wall display, when you want to have sufficient space to accommodate your audience for a product demonstration or an activity at the trade show. This type of display unit is also used as a backdrop for a main display, to add some grandeur and appeal to the trade show booth. The drawback of these units is that they are not stable and may need additional support to stand.
The curved popup displays are more stable and have a better visual appeal to the audience because of their shape and look they give out. Although they are widely preferred because of their shape, which gives an enclosed look and feel to the customers, they consume a lot of space and are difficult to accommodate in smaller trade shows ad exhibitions.
If you don’t want either of these pop-up displays, you can get a custom popup display to suit your requirements. Although a customized and unique display may attract a number of visitors, it may take up a considerable part of your trade show budget.
Pop-Up Display Options
Thursday, January 20th, 2011
Pop-up displays, which can be vinyl, plastic or fabric displays, are highly preferred for trade show booths as they can be setup conveniently and transported easily. These display units are versatile trade show options that can be used as stand-alone displays or as accessories to other display units. Pop-up displays for tradeshows are of three types: standard popup displays, fabric wall displays and vinyl backdrop displays.
Commonly used at tradeshows, a standard popup display is convenient and most suitable for use at a number of tradeshows on the go. These display units are made of a flexible graphic panel or folding frame made of lightweight aluminum or fiberglass. The frame is covered with a printed tension fabric that is stretched across it, with help of magnetic strips, to give out the desired visual effect.
One of the cheapest ways to create an attractive designer wall for your trade show booth is to use a vinyl banner backdrop, which is made up of adjustable tubular frames that are available in a variety of sizes. The graphic vinyl banner needs to be mounted on this frame using pole pockets that hold the fabric from top to bottom. Although the 8X8 vinyl backdrops are preferred by many, you can also get 3 or 4X8 feet frames for easy portability.
Fabric walls are ready-made fabric displays that are made up of a folding frame, which is similar to standard pop-up display frame. However, the fabric wall frames come with readily attached fabric, which makes the setup simpler. Also, by using a fabric that can be custom designed, considering your company’s brand image and requirements, you can create a custom designed display booth that is impressive and informative.
How to Save Money on Display Units
Thursday, December 30th, 2010
Trade show booths bring in a large number of potential customers, but at a cost. The most expensive component of your trade show booth is your display unit which could be a pop-up display, fabric display, modular display etc depending on your preference, budget and the product you want to promote. Pop-up displays, which are the most common display units used in trade shows, can be economical if you plan and choose carefully.
One way to spend less on the display unit is by purchasing it in the off-peak season i.e. well in advance of the trade show. Another option is buying a used trade show display from websites like Craigslist.com or eBay.com. Making an online purchase of the appropriate pop-up display unit and getting it printed separately can bring down your trade show costs, though the process will require both time and effort.
The most expensive display units are the customized display units bought from a vendor. Instead of purchasing custom pop-up displays, buy a regular display unit and mould it creatively to suit your product design. That way, you make the best use of your creativity and save a lot of money too. A customized display also helps your booth stand out in the trade show.
Pop-up display scaffoldings that are purchased online cost a lot lesser. But make sure you choose a reliable vendor. You should also take shipping costs into account when deciding between buying online or from a local vendor.
