Exhibiting at the International Bowl Expo 2023

Standing out on a busy tradeshow floor might seem impossible but trust us: we know a few things about building the best exhibit exhibit! Here are a few things you can do to make sure your exhibit draws a crowd:

  • Pick the focal point, and product/service.
    1. Which of your products best fit attendees’ needs?
    2. Do you have any new products, services or technologies that offer solutions to the attendee? 
    3. How can you let attendees experience these new things?
    4. Design a marketing/content campaign around what’s relevant and what’s new. 
  1. Choose the right exhibit size for your message.
    1. 10’ x 10’: ideal for a single product or service, or a small line of products. You have room for multiple display cases, 3D graphic wall, custom light display and flooring, and one seating configuration.
    2. 10 x 20: good solution for those showing a variety of products in the exhibit. It has 20 feet of graphic back wall, multiple seating configurations for demonstrations and education, in addition to custom light and flooring that come standard with our exhibit rentals.
    3. 20 x 20: Exhibit Experience usually recommends 20’ x 20’ exhibits, as these offer demonstration space, enclosures for private viewing, and dozens of other configuration options. However, we understand that many companies have limited budgets this year.
  2. Decide if you will rent or DIY your exhibit.
    1. Experience is key when it comes to standing out at large-scale tradeshows. 
    2. Local tradeshow exhibit rentals for the upcoming show will help you go that extra mile. 
  3. Design a memorable in-exhibit experience. 
    1. No matter the size, your exhibit should tell a seamless brand story. 
    2. Pro Tip: include an interactive experience for your exhibit visitors.
  4. Build and train the right team. 
    1. Having the right exhibit staff is just as important as having the right design. 
    2. Include a mix of people from sales, technical, customer service and management.
  5. Ditch the hard sell. 
    1. Instead of trying to get sales, focus instead on how your products or services solve a problem.
  6. Create an itinerary with the networking and social events, educational sessions, and other activities you want to attend. This way you and your team will know when you’ll be at the exhibit. 
  7. Follow up. Use the travel time home to send follow-up emails to thank visitors for their time and remind them about your company.
