How do you stand out when you’re faced with a sea of exhibition stands all competing for attention? At business expos and trade shows, getting visitors to notice your presence can be a struggle. The secret sauce to elevating your business visibility is a bespoke-made exhibition stand.
Elevate first impressions
If you’ve seen one trade show, you’ve probably seen them all – rows of bland exhibition stands that fail to inspire even a glance, let alone a visit. So, imagine then, walking into a trade show and, in amongst the mundane, cookie-cutter booths, you catch sight of a stand that is bold, unique and impossible to ignore. First impressions are critical; unless you’re doing something different, you’ll likely be ignored. But, if you’re the owner of a bespoke-made exhibition stand that screams innovation, visitors will be drawn to you.
Elevate your brand’s identity
A generic stand might save money, but is it worth it when you blend into the background? With a unique, bespoke-designed exhibition stand, crafted by designers who care about creating the right impression of your business, you present a physical embodiment of your brand’s identity that people cannot fail to notice.
Your exhibition stand can encapsulate your company’s ethos, values, and aesthetic, telling your story in the most visually compelling way possible. The truly memorable Costumes.com stand we recently designed for the Star Wars celebration show at EXCEL London, is a case in point. With a ‘Mos Eisley’ spaceport-inspired stand, complete with a printed Sarlacc pit, designed by our Head of Studio Nick Calloway, it was impossible to overlook.
Whatever type of design reflects your brand, be it high-tech futurism, an eco-friendly jungle vibe, or a Star Wars-inspired stand like the one we’ve described above, a bespoke stand really elevates your brand’s identity at an exhibition or show.
Elevate the experience
Sometimes your exhibition stand needs to go beyond the visuals to create a bespoke experience like no other. Visitors are more likely to remember a hands-on experience than simply a good-looking stand, and so by including interactive elements like touchscreens, virtual reality demos, and live product demonstrations, you can draw people in, keep them engaged and leave a lasting impression.
Elevate your competitive edge
In a crowded exhibition hall, blending in is not something you want; you need to be distinguishable from your competition. So, how does a big yellow house in the middle of the exhibition hall grab you? The custom design we created for Lendinvest – who wanted a ‘home’ inspired concept for the NACFB Commercial Finance Expo at the NEC, does precisely that – it grabs attention with its simple but incredibly bold design. The uniqueness of a bespoke design such as this acts as a beacon attracting visitors who might otherwise walk on by, piquing curiosity and giving you the competitive edge you need.
Elevate your ROI
A well-designed bespoke exhibition stand isn’t going to be cheap. Generally they need a larger upfront investment compared to standard options, but the returns are worth it. And if you can reconfigure and reuse it, all the better, and you’ll get a much better ROI.
With just a few adaptations, you can use your bespoke exhibition stand for different events, which ensures you not only maximise your investment, but also do your bit for the environment. We worked with Roseview Windows for a second year at the FIT show and successfully reused the window displays from 2021 with some light refurbishment, adding in some new lightbox features and a ‘Cyclone’ game.
Elevate your brand’s narrative
Your brand story is a big part of what sells your products and services to your customers, and a custom exhibition stand is the perfect way to tell that story. Convey your brand’s journey, mission, and vision with clever design, strategic lighting, and engaging visuals, and you will create an immersive brand narrative that leads to increased foot traffic, better engagement, and higher lead conversion rates.
With an exhibition stand, it’s so easy to get lost in the crowd of samey, mundane, run-of-the-mill stands that it’s almost money down the drain. A unique bespoke-designed exhibition stand is your ticket to elevating your business visibility and standing head above the crowd. With this powerful branding tool, you are creating a memorable vision that draws people in, tells your brand’s story, creates memorable experiences and provides a competitive edge all in one hit.
In business exhibitions, standing out isn’t just an option – it’s vital to your business success. Make it more vibrant, interactive, and impossible to ignore, and you’ll have visitors making a beeline for your booth.
