How Do I Make My Exhibition Booth Stand Out? | The Future Is Fabric!

MAKE YOUR EXHIBITION BOOTH MATTER

Booking Your Shell Scheme Exhibition Stand

Shell scheme is a term commonly used in the exhibition industry. It's the most common type of stand or booth that exhibitors are assigned when you book a space at an exhibition. Relatively new and upcoming is the concept of 'space-only' stands not confined by a framework row of booths, where an area is marked out for a completely freestanding space for your business.

When you've booked your stand, your event host will send you a load of documentation about your stand including dimensions, width and height restrictions, electrical points, lighting requirements and offers, as well as a map to where your stand is located in the exhibition or trade show hall.

Focusing on shell scheme booth formats, whilst basic in their nature, there is a lot that can be done to transform a shell scheme without spending too much! You want to utilise that space as best you can to attract customers in the seconds you may have, and also make a lasting impression for them to visit you again on their rounds, or contact your company after the event for more information on your products and services.

What Is A Shell Scheme? How Do You Make It Look Good?

WHAT YOU NEED TO CONSIDER

Choosing Your Exhibition Stand

You are going to be loaded with questions about your stand and how best to organise the space you have booked. Like a jigsaw, every inch is going to need to be accounted for to maximise your branding and message potential to reach valuable passers-by and turn them into customers!

Like booking a plane seat, you would consider the benefits of being by the window or aisle, the distance from bathrooms, legroom and overhead storage, as well as the price of the seat, all adding to a pleasurable experience, and a high chance of flying with that airline again.

Exhibition Stand booking is much the same! You want to have a comfortable amount of space to conduct business and show off your products or service, be highly visible, have multiple opportunities to engage with passers-by with high-foot traffic, and be happy with the price paid for your location. Get out the exhibition site plan and think about the following:

Consider you exhibition stand budget - the bigger the space and the better positioned, the larger the cost.

Stand Pricing

Prime locations and larger stands will also be marked up for their high-demand, with smaller, more concealed stands being offered for less.

Consider how much Exhibition stand space you will need for your display, equipment, and team.

Stand Size

Choose stand size large enough to support your equipment, display pieces, merchandise and still leave room for discussions and an area for staff.

Explore the Exhibition map and find a stand that suits your purpose and has a high foot-traffic potential.

Stand Location

Is the booth on a main walkway or high-traffic route to a destination like a on-site restaurant, coffee stop, bathrooms or conference/demo or talk space?

Think about your stand vision and design, how many walls do you need to display your branding & message?

Stand Visibility

Do you want a corner booth with one backwall or two walls for an open front, or a 3 wall stand for an enclosed and personal customer experience?

Once you've determined this, you may be left with 1-2 rows of booths, with 4-5 'Great' stand options, and 1-3 'AMAZING' stand options. Talk amongst your team and decide the space you want and keep 1 stand for a back-up option. Make sure to book your stand as soon as possible so someone else doesn't snag your great find!

MADE TO MEASURE

What Fabric Exhibition Stands Are Available?

Our range of Fabric Exhibition Stands fit neatly within a range of shell scheme stand spaces including popular 3x33x24x4, and even larger 6x3  booths, with options available for 1, 2 or 3 wall stands. We currently have 13 bundle options available to buy right now!

This range takes our popular fabric tube display walls and makes them modular for seamless exhibition stand graphics in both space-only stand spaces and perfectly sized to fit within traditional shell scheme stands for easy set-up and re-usability.

The bundles offer a combination of wall sizes, as well as the connectors to join multiple stands into any configuration you need. Stability feet have been specially designed to include full feet for freestanding, solid displays, as well as half-feet to not invade your neighbour's stand when in a shell scheme booth setting. We've also included optional lighting for each bundle, with the perfect number of lights to illuminate your custom-printed graphics.

WHAT ABOUT ACCESSORIES & STAND EXPANSION?

You can then add additional fabric tube walls to expand your display or make it fit different stand sizes and modular tube display accessories like additional connectors and different feet. We also offer specially created lighting for the fabric tube range which includes the specific clamp needed to fit the tube framework.

Any bundle includes all the parts needed for its specific stand size with connectors, feet, hardware and graphics all fitting in a hard-wearing holdall carry bag. Most bundles don't weight more than 10 kg so perfect for staff to transport and set-up solo!

There are also additional accessories available to deck out your stand with shelving units, a TV Mount and shelving combo piece!
