You can generate a good number of business contacts and close deals by setting up a booth in a trade show. Many companies spend a large percentage of their advertising budget on trade shows alone. Some trade show booths have eye catching display equipment like pop up displays and truss systems. These are a little more expensive than other trade show exhibits. But you can reduce the cost of sourcing a trade show exhibit with a little pre-planning and presence of mind.
You can reduce the cost of setting up a trade show booth by sourcing your equipment early. Most trade exhibitions are held in the September to December period. You can buy trade exhibits early, say in the month of April or May to get better deals from your trade exhibit manufacturing companies. Usually these companies price their exhibits at lower price during lean business months. You also get to choose from the many different trade show exhibits available if you source them early.
Some companies have no use of their trade display exhibit after the trade show is over. They may sell them on an auction website like eBay or other classifieds sites. If you source your display equipment from these websites you can save a lot of money. However, while buying second hand goods from auction sites make sure that the display exhibits are in a proper working condition.
Another way to buy equipment within your budget is to rent pop up display frameworks. The cost of pop up displays can be high but rentals will just be a fraction of that cost. Moreover, you will have the flexibility to change your displays for the next trade show.
