Exhibit Experience’s Rental Booths
Depending on your target audience and product, there are certain booth sizes and configurations that work better than others. An exhibit house that has never built for the Valve World Americas Expo & Conference may not provide the right booth size for your needs. This will make it difficult for you to get the most out of this high-profile show.
Here are a few tips for how to make sure your booth is a success at the Valve World Americas Expo:
- Determine your booth plan: will you rent, build or use existing materials?
- Design a memorable in-booth experience: No matter the size, your booth should tell a seamless brand story. Pro Tip: include an interactive experience for your booth visitors.
- Build and train the right team: having the right booth staff is just as important as having the right design; include a mix of people from sales, technical, customer service, and management.
- Ditch the hard sell: Instead of trying to get sales, focus instead on solving the challenges your audience faces each day.
