If you've been tasked with the job of researching the cost of buying a display for your upcoming trade show, expo, conference, or other special event, you know the answer to this question is complicated. For the sake of simplicity, we're focusing on a display to fit within a standard inline 10 x 10 booth space made up of readily available display parts rather than a custom exhibit. The range of display systems are wide and varied in their features, and so the short answer to the question "how much does a trade show display cost?" is "it depends." While it's possible to procure a display or a combination of retractable banner stands and table throws for under $1,000 and as low as a couple hundred dollars, it may leave you with a lackluster display.

Depending on whether you're an amateur to trade shows or a seasoned veteran, each person can have a vastly different idea of what a trade show display should include. A trade show booth can be as simple as a covered table, pipe and drape backwall, two retractable banner stands, and a literature stand. It's simplistic and can fit into even the smallest trade show budgets.

You can turn a bland entryway into a bright, visual experience by utilizing a series of backlit display panels. Whether it's a dark corner in a hotel lobby, college atrium, event space, or at the bottom of a stairwell, properly designing and employing backlit panels can reinvigorate any space with a punch of light and color. Backlit panels can also enliven your booth space during a preview reception where the lighting is set for mood or at events with performances.

Overwhelmed about ordering your next trade show display? You’re not alone. There are a lot of options and jargon that can easily get you tangled. MODdisplays cuts away the confusion. We curate a select line of quality displays in easy-to-order kits to simplify your search.

Typography plays an important but often underestimated role in exhibit design. The font used in the design of a trade show display will often make a bigger impression upon attendees than the words themselves. Attendees and the general public are largely unaware of the influence that font choices can have on purchasing decisions, and you can use this to your advantage as an exhibitor.

Attendees are motivated to attend trade shows and business expos to stay up to date on their industry, and thus are open to seeing new products and services that can benefit their business. If you can position your latest product in a way to capture their imagination and attention, the potential is high for a strong return on investment for your participation.

At the end of the day, every trade show must have a return on investment. Not only helping to cover the plethora of costs of exhibiting for multiple days, but also to help the company's bottom line. You invest in your trade show displays, the handouts, the brochures, the staffing, the time commitment, and on and on. Every successful trade show appearance needs to move the needle: more clients, more contacts, more partnerships, etc. You need a measurable return.

If your company has the resources to handle the design of your next trade show display, you will certainly have a strategic advantage in keeping your brand on point. Save yourself and your design team the headache by making sure they have the files saved in the proper size and format as well as using our provided templates.

Exhibiting at a trade show can sometimes feel like being a small fish in a large ocean. How will people find you in the sea of other booths, and what if they simply go down a different aisle and miss you completely? Never leave things to chance. Hanging signs are a great solution to put that worry to rest.

Having one trade show display system that is versatile in a variety of sizes and configurations is a great way to use your money wisely and to maintain a cohesive brand. It also allows your team to keep the display fresh by mixing up the components and the layout. Some events are naturally more important than others, and your team will invest more heavily at those events with a larger space. Perhaps you like to maintain a small presence at some shows for brand awareness, and commit a larger presence at other shows for product demonstrations.

While trade shows can be traced back to medieval Europe, they remain highly relevant in modern times as a way for members of a specific industry to showcase, exhibit, and demonstrate their company's products and services face-to-face.

When you’re creating a booth layout for a trade show, its natural to focus a lot of attention on the visual elements of the booth.

With that being said, don't overlook how you plan to use your booth. The space needs to be planned out for how it will be used. How will people enter the booth? Where will you be positioned to answer questions? Where will you place information for easy access? Do you need space for storage?
