What is a Stand Builder? and How to design a stand

Booth construction is one of the indispensable tasks in the process of participating in an exhibition, and it is usually combined with booth design and construction.


What is a Stand Builder?
To understand what a stand builder is, we first need to look at what an exhibition stand is.
An exhibition stand is set up at trade shows to showcase a brand’s products and services. A good exhibition stand will convey the brand’s products to customers in a way that is informative, appealing and convenient.
With the right exhibition stand at trade shows customers will leave with an increased interest in the brands products and services which will subsequently drive further sales.
Creating an exhibition stand may sound straightforward, but there are many elements that go into designing a stand that sells.

So now that we know what an exhibition stand is, how do we create one that reflects our brand? This is where a stand builder comes into the picture.
To put it in layman terms, a stand builder is someone who designs, constructs and assembles exhibition stands. They are professional consultants and construction specialists who provide expert advice and service on all the practical details of designing an exhibition stand.
A stand builder can draw from years of experience as well as knowledge on aspects like current market trends. This simplifies and streamlines the process of designing a stand. By hiring a stand builder companies can focus their time and resources on strategy while the stand builder takes care of all the practical aspects.
 
How do Stand Builders design exhibition stands?
Stand builders are the project managers of an exhibition stand. They oversee every stage of the stand’s development to ensure that plans go smoothly.
What do each of these stages entail?
The stages involved in designing an exhibition stand are as follows:
 

  1. Concept Development
    During the concept development stage stand builders seek to understand the brands goals, objectives and ideas.
    This part of the phase involves the stand builder and client openly discussing ideas for the stand that align with the company’s budget, floor space and location for the booth. Based on the brand’s ideas the stand builder will analyse how to draw out the maximum potential of these factors to bring your ideas to life in a way that’s impactful yet realistic.
    Finalising the concept to create a striking yet achievable and functional exhibition stand will take some time, but with a skilled stand builder it’s doable.
     
  2. Installation: Achieving The Brands Vision
    When a final concept has been established construction of the stand can commence. This is the stage where the brand’s vision is brought into reality.
    It includes aspects like sourcing, putting together, and installing all the necessary equipment and technology. The connections of an experienced stand builder will ensure that the materials used will be of an exceptional quality that reflects the professionalism of the brand and wows potential customers.
    The final stages will involve implementing all the finishing touches that make a company’s booth stand out amongst the crowd and attract all the customers.

How to attract customers to the exhibition? 8 Clever Ways

One of the key indicators of your performance at an exhibition or trade show is the number of visitors your booth attracts. After all, every visitor is a potential customer for your product or service, and you can encourage more people to spend more time at your booth to generate new sales.


So here, we take a look at 8 ways you can encourage interaction at your next event.

  1. Preparation Is Key
    Make the most of your event by sending out invites in advance, promoting through your social channels as much as possible on the lead up to the event and, where possible, booking in appointments to guarantee a chat with your most important prospects. Spreading the word and a little bit of self promotion will stand you in good stead and your clients will be grateful to know about any opportunities to meet face to face especially when there is an opportunity to make a day of it and attend an industry exhibition!
  2. Create an Experience
    Businesses are getting increasingly creative when it comes to ideas for exhibitions. Stay ahead of the curve by creating an experience that will draw people over to your stand from across the room. Hiring things like virtual reality experience equipment can create this kind of buzz.
  3. Offer Refreshments
    Set yourself up with appliance and fridge hire and make sure you can offer your visitors beverages and nibbles, which promise to keep them a little longer and almost always leads to more engagement. Refreshments from ice cream, smoothies, juices, cocktails, tea, coffee, chocolates, sweets and popcorn – the more creative the better and more memorable!
  4. Create the Right Environment
    Planning your complete environment in advance will make your space stand out in the exhibition hall. Create an experience that truly reflects your brand and other retail spaces with everything from exhibition carpet and furniture to branded selfie frames to finish your stand perfectly. You could also create a place to relax by building a lounge area complete with beanbags and soft furnishings.
  5. Offer Free Wi-Fi
    Make life convenient for yourself, your team and your visitors by ensuring you have your own fast and reliable exhibition Wi-Fi without having to trust the venue’s Wi-Fi. Find our event Wi-Fi guide for extra advice and tips on choosing the right one for you.
  6. Offer Something a Little Different
    Lots of brands do giveaways to draw people over to their stand. Get creative and think of something that will really surprise people and get them talking.
  7. Give Them an Incentive
    Think about how you can ensure your visitors convert on the day instead of heading off home to “think about it”. What incentives can you offer for on-the-day sign ups? Any special offers or discounts?
  8. Show Off Your Expertise
    If possible, get a spot at the event or exhibition speaking or conducting a workshop to show off your skills and expertise and place yourself as an expert in the minds of the exhibition visitors making them more likely to head over to your stand.
