Four ways to cut your exhibit cost

Four ways to cut your exhibit cost

There are as many ways to cut your exhibit cost, as there are to skin an exhibit. Here are four ways Skyline can help you.

1. Go modular. Compared to traditional custom exhibits, the cost for shipping and installing/dismantling modular exhibits is considerably less. Modulars are typically lighter, pack smaller and set up faster � features that add up to hefty savings.

2. Consider renting. If you are attending one or two shows per year, renting could be an economical route to take. If you�re out to make a statement you can rent a more spectacular exhibit for much less than you can buy. Renting can also be a cost-effective means to change your exhibit every year.

3. Go portable. In a 10-foot booth space, a portable exhibit is often the best choice. These exhibits are usually inexpensive to buy and ship, and they can be set up by almost anyone on your staff (most halls allow it if it can be done in under 30 minutes), thus eliminating installation and dismantling charges.

4. Buy a reconditioned exhibit. Some exhibit builders, including Skyline, offer a variety of used exhibits. Explore your options. If you are flexible on design, you can take advantage of a limited selection and save anywhere from 20 percent to 50 percent of the cost of building new.

Exhibit Rental Solution

Why buy when you can rent?

 

There are numerous reasons to rent. If you attend one or two trade shows a year, renting may be the logical choice. It’s cost effective and there are no future storage or maintenance costs to worry about. Skyline will rent one component or an entire display in order to make sense to you and your budget.

Benefits of renting:

 

  • Lower upfront cost can help you achieve your trade show marketing goals on a tight budget.
  • An opportunity for a new trade show marketing program to test trade shows and determine which provide the best ROI.
  • An opportunity to determine if a particular booth layout will be effective for presenting your company and demonstrating your product or service.
  • Great for one-time or limited use requirements such as overlapping or back-to-back trade shows.
  • Rental displays can often be customized to your requirements.
  • You are not responsible for long term storage, maintenance, or inventory management costs of rental displays.
