Virtual Exhibits are immersive, experiential, and typically self-guided. Virtual exhibits allow you to connect with potential clients in a virtual space, often in real-time, and share product literature, videos, surveys, chat, social media links, and presentations. They can function like a trade show, but do not have to. They can be easily updated or changed as things change. A website add-on to create brand cohesiveness.

 

Trade shows are one of the best ways to get your company noticed, generate leads and make industry contact too. However, trade shows can also be expensive and budgeting can be a pain. Between travel cost, trade show equipment, staff expenses and other costs the bills can really add up. Luckily, there are some great ways to save money while still have a great showing at your event.

Choose from over 20 designs. Most include a lockable, hinged clam shell. Ask about Windows, Android, and Kindle tablet options.
These attractive and durable iPad Stands are designed specifically for trade shows, events, and retail environments. They are lightweight, secure, and easy-to-assemble. Most feature the innovative Swivel Stop™, allowing the iPad to rotate between the portrait and landscape position without tools.

NEO is a line of portable, brand-able furniture specifically designed for the trade show and event industry. Unlike traditional furniture options, the NEO line is modular, lightweight, and designed to pack efficiently for storage and transport. Its intuitive design allows it to be assembled in minutes without tools.

Rental furniture is pricy and very often shows wear from transportation and use. Purchasing and shipping traditional home/office furniture components is inefficient. With no way to fold, stack, or nest together, they require large shipping containers to store and are prone to damage in transport.

Never rent a table or chair again. The NEO OTMB-100 portable, brand-able table and chairs are the perfect alternative to expensive, impersonal rental furniture. The attractive table and chairs assemble without tools, come in four finishes, and include a brand-able inlay option. Print your brand or message on 1/8" Sintra (or other material) and turn your meeting space into a sales opportunity. The tables and chairs pack in an optional roto-molded case with wheels and reusable foam jigging.

Folding and stacking furniture, while efficient for transport and storage, lacks aesthetic appeal. In addition, most of these options are for a lower chair height. The best seating solutions allow someone seated to stay at the same eye-level as someone standing. Lastly, none of these allow a simple, cost-effective way to personalize, stylize, or brand like most other elements in the exhibit space.

Total setup takes about five minutes. The legs interlock, and the seat and counter top snaps securely into place with self-locking plungers. No tools. No hassles.

Exhibit trends for 2012
 
The focus is on lightweight fabric structures with audio visual lighting and green materials. but some of the fastest moving design trends are those that incorporate a way to draw traffic to their booth as a part of their strategy:

Apps: Smart exhibitors are using “smart apps” to extend the show.

Digital tablets: Are you sitting on lots of content like PDFs or videos that help describe your company’s products and services?  Digital tablets are the perfect medium to relay information to attendees.  Mounting your iPad into a counter can prevent anyone from walking away or losing your tablet.




 E-literature: Are you trying to cut back or are flat-out tired of bringing tons of literature to the show? Create a digital resource center that clients can access after the show.
