A Beginner?s Guide to Exhibitions

Don’t leave it to chance

Planning in advance and setting achievable goals for your first exhibition is essential and can have a massive impact on the experiences and knowledge gathered. It is advisable to begin planning approximately 8 months before the exhibition begins as a well planned exhibition is a successful exhibition.

Think of your audience

When planning for your exhibition, bare in mind that every exhibition is different to every exhibitor, right down to the exhibition display used. Regardless of experience and budget, everyone is in the same boat trying to attract the larger audience and it is always important to consider your audience and think about what they are looking for. What are their objectives from coming to an exhibition? What will they be looking for? How can you leave an impression? All this can drive what you need to prepare for, such as product demonstrations, knowledge of your team and the literature you need to have available.

Goals and targets

Regardless of whether it is your first exhibition or your hundredth, it is important that you go to an exhibition knowing the goals and targets you are aiming for. The types of goals and targets you are aiming for will differ depending on the product or service you are providing. A target might be the amount of sales leads you need in the day by each team member attending or the various levels of commitment you need from contacts, from committed meeting to actual orders Developing a means to measure your expected and actual goals and achievements is a must as this is the only way to ensure progression from day one. Identifying the ideal exhibition to display at, having goals to work towards and planning expenditure are all Key for examining pre and post exhibition performance.

Get your design right

Having exhibition displays and plinths that frame and promote your products perfectly are a must. An exhibition display that is organised and tidy is just as important as the products that are on display. It is important to remember to have a correct visual weight of products on display, usually the larger and heavier items are placed at the bottom with the smaller lighter items placed above. In doing this it creates a sense of order and much like at a supermarket, having things correctly displayed can be a sign of quality and professionalism which encourages visitors to purchase. It is possible to hire or buy the necessary exhibition display to fit your requirements, but each of these has their own pitfalls to look out for. To make a more educated decision on hiring or buying your exhibition stand, it might be worth noting a recent hire Vs buy article currently online (http://www.displaysense.co.uk/press-releases/25/exhibition-displays-–-hire-or-buy?).

Draw people to your stand

Being open and creative with exhibition displays and display stands can give you an edge over the competition and can instantly setup a positive reputation if the display is memorable enough. Promoting your presence at an exhibition well in advance using press releases, articles and email marketing tools can attract even more attention to your exhibition stands and products you are promoting. Attracting visitors with competitions, leaflets and a bit of flare is another sure fire way to attract attention, hire some event performers and purchase a suggestion box in order to attract visitors in and collect valuable details which you can then use as potential sales leads in the future.

Start on your journey of exhibition success

Before taking part at an exhibition for the first time, ensure that you have the right exhibition displays on hand to promote your products or service effectively such as a portable literature holder, plinths, lecterns and banner stands. There are a number of companies such as Displaysense who sell a variety of exhibition stands (http://www.displaysense.co.uk/exhibition-displays-and-plinths). To ensure you have a successful exhibition, make sure you follow these basic rules as it’s never too late to begin on the road to exhibition success.

How Much Do Marquees Cost To Hire? Check-List Guide To Budgeting For Your Marquee Event

How much does it cost to hire a marquee?

If you are hiring a marquee for your wedding, party, charity ball, corporate or special event there are many things you need to take into consideration in order to obtain an accurate quote from the marquee hire company.

Here is simple check-list of some of the costs involved in hiring marquees.

The cost of hiring a marquee varies depending on many factors, not least the size and style of the marquee. However the size of the marquee will dictate all the other marquee related costs, so first determine how big your marquee needs to be to house your event.

How to work out how big the marquee needs to be:

Your marquee hire company will conduct a site visit to advise you on the most suitable size and style of marquee for your event, but as rough guide you can approximate your marquee size requirements as follows:

How large is the venue?
Do you require a framed or traditional style marquee?

A framed marquee can stand on any surface as it does not require pegs to secure it to the ground. As such framed marquees take up less space at your venue. Traditional marquees are secured to the ground using pegs and ropes and as such require more space around the marquee.

How many guests are you inviting and do they require seating?
Do you require a stage?
Do you require a space for dancing?

As a rough guide, if there is a buffet and guests are standing, allow approximately 8 square feet per person. For a seated event, allow 15 square feet per person. Add to each of these amounts any additional space required for a stage, display stands, dance floor, mingling, seated discussion etc.

It may help if you draw a floor plan. Start with what you know you require inside the marquee and then calculate the space around it using the above as a guide.

In addition to knowing the size and style of your marquee, there are many marquee related costs to consider when budgeting for your event i.e.:

Marquee furniture: tables, chairs, stage, display stands
Marquee equipment: lighting, heating, sound, electrical points for DJ, Band etc.
Marquee decoration: flooring, lining, themed decorations, table centre pieces, table cloths, lamps, lanterns, pillows, cushions, fabric for swags, ribbons, flowers, balloons, banners, corporate branded items. etc.
Toilets. Do you need to hire portable toilets?
Have you considered marquee party planning services?

If you are having a themed event, you will have additional costs relating to marquee themed decorations. Themed marquee party ideas include:

Hawaiian nights
Arabian Nights
Hollywood nights
Caribbean evening
Rock ‘n’ Roll
Swinging 60′s
Hollywood Stars
Jungle fever

Additional costs incurred when decorating the marquees in these themes depend entirely on your own imagination and your ability to create a complete theme on a budget.

A Quick Guide To Buying And Using Exhibition Equipments

Putting up an exhibition is a daunting task. There are plenty of different things to think about when organising a big event like this. The idea is that by holding an exhibition, this will benefit your company or brand, with successful returns and an increased number of client bases – this is easier said than done. However, with good preparation and enough time on planning, in theory the exhibition should indeed be a success.


One of the most important elements of a company exhibition is getting the right equipment and display stands to promote your company brand. There are various types of exhibition equipments, which each have very different functions. The focus for these equipments is to make you stand out from the rest. Therefore, getting roller banners, lighting, light boxes and display units laid out correctly will enable more clients to visit your stand.


Often companies use all the exhibition equipments needed to promote them, which can sometimes look odd in places. When using roller banners for your stand, you must remember that this is effectively a large display and quite literally rolls up for easy transfer. These are usually best placed near the entrance of an exhibition or as a backdrop in a presentation hall.


Roller banners are also incredibly cost effective, easy to use and need no tools to set up. These can come heavy in weight for sturdiness or lightweight for durability and flexibility. They can come single or double sided with the option of adjustability using a telescopic pole. The graphic displayed on the banners are large so they are an excellent way of promoting and advertising your brand name.


Pop-up display stands are different from roller banners; however, they are similar in the sense that they do not need any tools for assembling. Pop-ups are quite literally portable do-it-yourself displays that come in all shapes and sizes. They can come as pop-up graphics displays, pop-up towers, desktop pop-ups or linear pop-ups. These can also be assembled with large or small graphics and can be fitted together to create a seamless display.


Using lighting and light boxes will help brighten up the displays and the display units. This will attract more people to approach your stand and help promote your company brand, without placing too much emphasis on physically bringing people in. Lighting in general attracts more focus on the stands, however getting the correct kind of lighting will emphasise the general theme of the exhibition.


For example, using soft blue lighting may provide a calmer tone for health and beauty stands, whereas if you choose to use heavy red lighting this will appear loud in tone, which is good for displaying activity or entertainment companies.


Display units are a good for placing and laying out products in a presentable manner, however, these will need careful management. One thing to remember is to display your products in such a way that will create a lasting impression on clients or potential clients. If you are allowing people to sample the products, have them displayed well enough for them to access this and always be at stand to provide them with information.


Finally, using banner stands are similar to roller banners; the difference is they are freestanding and sturdy. They do not roll up and they are intended for outdoor use as a way of promoting the exhibition and advertising the brand name. They are often available using fabric or PVC, with the latter being more cost effective and strong.

Anna Stenning is an expert on roller banners, having used them for many exhibitions in her previous jobs.
