Sift through all your marketing experiences and try and remember one point when you shopped adventurously. That is to say, you did not go to any of your regular shops, but instead decided to window shop. And in the course of it, you arrived at one shop that possessed just the right kind of ambiance.

Your trade show exhibits can be viewed as the window of a shop. Customers are going to enter only if they like what they see from outside and they can only spare three seconds for you. If you cannot draw their attentions within that three second, they will float away. Also, remember selling as well as gaining a valuable lead is all-important. However, leaving a lasting impression on the mind the visitors is also very important.

The trade show exhibits are vital for your advertising and marketing plans. But if you go for a good quality display, it is likely to cost you the earth! Would you think it good marketing strategy to spend $50,000 on trade show displays in your debut trade fair? The organizers may provide with all possible assistance that they can. But it may still fall short because at the end of the day you are still a novice in the field and may end up making the wrong choice of displays. Also, even if you choose correctly, what you have used today may not remain useful for the future trade shows. The expensive gadgets bought would now end up as sheer waste.

A panacea for all these troubles is the trade show display rental. The companies that sell trade show displays also have a policy of renting them out. The amount of rent is a function of the size of the booth and the intricacy of the selected design.

1. A 10 foot pop up display is worth $550.
2. An 8 foot pop up display is worth $400.
3. 6-ft tabletop pop up display will cost you around $350.

A few companies have a policy to charge on per diem basis:
1. For a 6' to 8' table top you will pay $75 per day
2. An 8' to 10' freestanding display unit is worth $75 per day
3. All payments should be made in advance.

These are all approximated rates. The exact charges can be provided by the trade show rentals themselves. For a better and more informed decision making, collect price quotations from several companies and study them.

One type of trade show exhibit easily available on rent is the panel and frame system. The panel system is available in many designs. It is easy to envisage that bigger the size of the booth or stall, greater would be the number of panels needed. A popular model is fold-able panels with hinges and a strong, flexible frame - this system looks very sophisticated and attractive.

It usually happens that trade show organizers forget the role of the salespersons involved. These people spend most of the day standing which is a trial. They end up being quite tired, something that has a negative effect on their efficiency. Their smiles when the day draws to an end is nothing more than a brave effort - if that is you have not provided them with special anti-fatigue, high density flooring to stand on.

An interlocking 10'x10' high density floor mat is worth $200 only. This is one item better bought than rented. Such a carpet costs $485. The cost of an extra comfort mat is only $535. Attending three trade shows would be enough to earn the cost of these mats.

Of course, if you plan to attend trade show more or less regularly, it is better for you to buy a few essential pieces to save the repetitive cost, rather than renting every thing from your rental services. However, if you do not have the time or inclination to supervise the setting up of trade show booths, you will be far better off going for turnkey projects. If that is so, do not purchase anything.
