Pop up Displays: Should You Rent or Buy?

Posted on September 14, 2011 by dennis

Pop up displays are an excellent trade show booth option if you need something quick, portable, and that has a high-impact design. Not only are these trade show displays easy on your wallet, but they come in a variety of sizes and styles to fit your needs for the upcoming convention. Although the trade show industry has seen a rise in the number of exhibitors who have decided to get in on the increased business others have found from conventions and exhibitions, there are still some people who are hesitant on joining the trade show display bandwagon. If this sounds like you, would renting pop-up stands be a better fit? If the following reasons to rent a display system resemble you, this may be more beneficial than purchasing a brand new pop up display.

Only Going to A Couple Trade Shows

If you have agreed to participate in just a couple shows, exhibit rentals probably make more sense. There is no commitment to a single trade show booth and, if you decide later on that you’d prefer to use a fabric tension display instead of popup displays, you are more than welcome to switch display booths.

No Budget for Portable Displays

Exhibit rentals allow you to borrow high-end trade show exhibits for a fraction of what it would cost to buy them. This gives you the option of promoting your business at trade shows using top-of-the-line booth displays at affordable prices.

Not sure if Pop up Trade Show Displays are Right for You

So, you’ve made the decision to buy a popup display, but are unsure if it would be a good fit for you. One way to test them out is by renting one. If you decide you like it, you are free to buy one. However, if you decide it’s not a good fit for you, you’re allowed to use a different portable display that would work better for you.

Pop up trade show displays are ideal if you need a booth that takes very little time to put together, but there are plenty of other trade show displays available to rent. Give Smash Hit Displays a call and let them help design your next display booth!

How to Follow up With Leads at Trade Show Displays

Posted on August 4, 2011 by dennis

Just talking to leads at the convention is not enough to turn them into customers, especially since they probably stopped by your competitor’s trade show displays and talked to them also. What will set you apart from other exhibitors is following up after the trade show is over. Once study revealed that 80 percent of exhibitors do not follow up with leads after events, resulting in fewer sales than you could have gotten if they were to take this final step. So, what are some ways you can effortlessly contact with these potential new customers after the show? Smash Hit Displays, a leading online supplier of portable displays for trade shows, offers the following tips.

1. Don’t Forget the Lead Forms

With today’s technology, most people are opting to use electronical lead forms to hold all of the information on a laptop, iPad, or smart phone. As helpful as these gadgets are, having a stack of paper lead forms at your trade show booth is equally as important. These forms should contain the contact information for the lead (phone number, address, email address, etc), as well as their job title and name of the company. Also, having a list of qualifying questions will be able to help you weed out the good leads from the bad ones.

2. Use Rating Systems

A simple rating system will tell you right away which leads are very interested and should be contacted first just by looking at the form. One example of a rating system is to use “a, b, or c” at the top of the lead form, “a” being a hot lead.

3. Don’t Let Too Much Time Pass

Following up too late could cause leads to completely forget the conversation they had with you at the show displays, and may give your competitors a chance to contact them before you. Yet, following up too soon after the convention could make them feel pressured to buy from you. Wait no longer than a week after the trade show to contact them.

Following up with leads you retrieved from your trade show exhibit can not only give you a chance to thank them after the show, but will also allow them to ask any further questions they have about your products or services.

Portable Display Tips for Your Staff

Posted on July 28, 2011 by dennis

Not only will your trade show display play a huge role in how much traffic you receive, but it is also the staff that will turn these semi-interested attendees into new customers. So, how is this done? Well, there are a few things your team can do to boost the trade show booth popularity and make you a hit at your next event.

Approach Visitors

Even if someone is walking slowly past your display system, either you or your fellow staffer should approach them and engage in conversation. Your conversation should not center around a sales pitch because that may end up scaring them away. Although these attendees may not have intended on stopping by your booth display, most of them will end up staying.

Walk the Aisles

If traffic is slow at your booth, start walking the aisles and talking to people who are also walking or are checking out other trade show displays. If you can begin talking to these individuals and slip into the conversation where your booth is and what your company does, they will surely make time to stop by.

Always Have Someone at the Trade Show Exhibit

If you decide to walk the aisles, never leave your display booth unattended. Make sure someone is there to talk to anyone who enters your portable display. You could be missing out on sales if you aren’t there to greet them.

Tidy up During Slow Times

If traffic has slowed down at your convention display, use that time to tidy up your booth space. An organized show display is much more welcoming than a messy display.

These tips will help you and your staff build relationships with other attendees and may turn into new customers. Whether using pop-up displays or 20 x 20 custom displays, the right staff can make all the difference in how successful you are at the convention.

The Pros of Outdoor Convention Displays

Posted on July 21, 2011 by dennis

Especially in the summer months, you may find more and more events being held outside. In this case, it’s important your trade show booths are also meant to handle the outdoor weather. Luckily, there are banner stands and tents built specifically for occasions like this. Here are some of the features you will find in these special display systems that you won’t find in indoor display systems.

Won’t Fall Over

The last thing you want to deal with is a display booth that won’t stay put no matter how many fixtures you have surrounding it. The bases of outdoor booths can be filled with water or sand to prevent the hassle of constantly having to set your convention display up again and again. This one little feature will add weight to the exhibit for a more stable appearance. Not only are the bases easy to fill, but they are equally as simple to drain for a lightweight display system that can be packed up with ease.

Weather-Proof Ink

Even in the most beautiful and sunny weather, your graphics can be damaged with too much sun exposure. Luckily, outdoor banner stand displays use a special ink that will outlast rain, UV rays, wind, snow, and any other weather condition Mother Nature decides to throw at us.

Versatile

These display booths for trade shows can also be used indoors, saving you money on buying separate booth displays for different events. Just as you would find with any banner stand, the graphic panels can easily be interchanged on the outdoor banners for a new look from one event to the next.

Graphic Walls can be added to Outdoor Tents

Instead of just the regular boring tent, outdoor tents for trade shows and events can transform into booth displays on their own with the option of adding dye sub walls to them. It’s a quality and eye-catching look that is perfect for outdoor and indoor events.

Outdoor convention booths aren’t just made for conventions, but can also be used as a sidewalk banner stand, retail advertisement, or as signage that is combined with a larger booth for more visibility.

Posted on July 14, 2011 by dennis

Here are some of the benefits of the Emerald Convention Booths:

There are so many more accessories included to make these exhibition booths stand out.

Low Price, High Quality

Since Emerald Booths are made entirely in China, the prices are much lower than other trade show exhibits; however, that does not mean the quality is any less. The durable aluminum frame is built to last for years and comes with heavy-duty shipping cases to safely transport the entire exhibit from one event to the next. Although these display systems are built to outlast the daily wear and tear associated with setting up and packing up these booths, a lifetime warranty is included on the frame to protect against any manufacturer defects.

Quick Turnaround Time

If you suddenly decide to go to an event in a couple weeks but haven’t purchased your portable display yet, no problem. Emerald Hybrid Displays with graphics can be shipped in no more than 7 days.

A Variety of Sizes and Configurations

Whether you are looking for a 10 foot display system or a 20 foot display booths, there is one to fit every exhibitor’s booth space and budget. If you decide to buy a 20 foot trade show booth, they can be broken down into 2 separate 10 foot displays to fit any booth space.
