Effective Exhibition Booth Design

By Larry Baker

Companies have been increasingly using exhibitions for marketing of their goods and services because they are a hit with the customers. Appealing booth designs can greatly contribute to the success of your promotion campaign, just like effective and attractive shop designs. An impressive booth design will not only help you draw more prospective customers but also increase your prospects of making a sale.

The key thing to remember is the importance of attracting instant attention of the visitors. The first few moments are critical, and at a glimpse the visitor should get to know the product or service that is on offer, and get convinced with the value proposition.

Even though there is no straight jacket formula for booth designs that can give you the desired results, you can use your imagination to develop something that suits your aim.

Firstly, you should determine the basic purpose of setting up the booth. It can be anything from a product launch to a demonstration of your company's proud legacy. The creative professionals designing the booth should be made aware of this basic aim.

The booth layout, lighting arrangements, background and colour scheme along with textual messages are the main factors that require specific attention. Additionally, setting up an interactive kiosk or a visual demonstration of the product rouses the curiosity of the people and keeps them engaged. You can also announce attractive offers or distribute gifts and mementos, with your brand name displayed on them, to draw more people and make sure that they will tell about your product to their friends and family.

It is better to opt for a booth design that allows easy and cheap setting up and dismantling, besides affordable shipping costs. In addition, a proper study and analysis of the footfall trends, visitor expectations, and competitor analysis will provide you with much needed edge and ensure successful booth design.
