Don’t Toss The Old Trade Show Booth in the Landfill

 

Recycling your old trade show display is possible.
Reasons to recycle, reuse and refurbish your existing trade show display.

Change is inevitable – logos, marketing, products — and that sometimes means an upgrade for your trade show booth. So, how do you decide what to do with your old booth when it’s time to upgrade but still want to consider eco-friendly principles?

The earth-friendly principles of Reduce, Reuse and Recycle also apply to trade show booths just as much as they do elsewhere. We’ll also add another term to the list: Refurbish.

Here a few reasons to recycle, reuse and refurbish your existing trade show display.  Don’t throw your old trade show display into a land fill just yet. There still may be hope.

Reduce

Reducing your trade show booth’s impact on the environment can be accomplished by investing in better quality, longer-lasting and lighter booth materials that don’t have to be replaced as often and don’t cost as much to ship. Some environmentally friendly materials are available for pop-up displays, fabric panel displays and eco-friendly printing media for banner stands. And when you choose these materials, you’ll reduce your overall trade show booth impact on mother nature.

Reuse

When you design your trade show booth, consider ways to make it reusable. For example, if you can use the same graphic to represent more than one product or use it to attend more than one trade show, you’ve extended the life and usability of that booth without incurring additional expense.

Recycle

Of course, there will be times when you really have to start from scratch, and this gives you the opportunity to get creative. Consider donating the booth to a nonprofit, a school, church or company that may not otherwise have the funds to afford such an item.

Refurbish

There are times when the expense of a new trade show booth is not necessary.  Maybe all that’s needed is a well planned out remodeling effort. If your booth is looking a little, shall we say, used and abused, Affordable Exhibit Displays can update your graphics, resurface fabric panels and add new elements of your booth that give it a renewed, fresh look for your upcoming trade show season.

Remember, keeping your booth in tip top shape doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice the environment. Plus, following practices that help the environment may also save money for your company in both now and later.

8 Steps To Pick The Best Trade Show Display

Pick the best trade show display for your needs.
Picking the best display for your needs can be tough, but we can help.

Remember as a kid how it was frustrating to get started on that report for school.  At a young age having to research and complete a report plus draw a poster can be a daunting task.  The hardest part is just not knowing where to start or even when to stop researching and start actually writing and drawing.  The same even happens with adults and choosing a trade show display.

The same even happens with adults and choosing a trade show display and the first step in research is knowing the questions to ask in narrowing down what style suits your brand best.  Here are 8 – that’s right – 8 questions to ask yourself.

STEP 1
What are the long-term  goals?  Do you have multiple shows lined up or none at all?  Here’s an online trade show calendar that’s totally free to browse, research and use.

STEP 2
How many booth staff will need to attend each show?  One, two, three, etc. people to set up?  This will help on what type of booth you choose.  Simple 1 person set up look at banner stands or 3 or more with custom interactive features look at a custom built display suited to your needs.

STEP 3
How many shows are out of your state – as in travel plans?  Will the booth need shipping cases?  If so, how many and will they be shipped ahead of time or need to be taken on a plane or in a car.

STEP 4
Do you have a budget?  If so, what’s the magic number.  If you’ve deligated the research part, make sure you inform that person of the budget they’ll need to work within.  Don’t save it for last.

STEP 5
What type of product or services are your promoting?  This is very important in choosing the right display.

STEP 6
If you have a product to display, how will you display it? Will you need to display product on shelving or off of a grid system?

STEP 7
When the display is not being used can it instead be used at other events? Maybe have it set up in your entryway or meeting room. You don’t just have to pack it away.

STEP 8
Lastly, will the booth you’re eyeing fit in the space you are renting? 6′, 8′, 10′, 20′ or more…

You’re now 8 steps closer to narrowing down the right display for your specific needs.   Now you should be right on top of the display that’s right for you – it’s time to stop researching and purchase the booth and it’s accessories.

Remember, time might be running out as the show date rapidly approaches on your calendar.  It’s time to purchase, it’s now or never, it’s go time, it’s on, ready-set-go.  You’re nervous and you have every right to be – especially if it’s your first time.  But, if you use the 8 points we’ve outlined above the best trade show display will be easy to decide to buy.

Good Luck!
