Trade shows bring a huge pool of potential customers to your booth. However, along with the crowd, there comes a certain risk regarding safety and security. The hustle and bustle of the show floor and even the logistics to reach there pose a significant risk of damaging your meticulously crafted exhibition stand.
A damaged trade show booth spoils your professional brand image and becomes a financial setback. Here are some valuable tips and tricks suggested by the prominent trade show booth builder to ensure your modular exhibition stand remains intact throughout the show.
Safety precautions are required to be followed even before the beginning of the trade show. Keep the following safety concerns in mind to be followed before the show.
Invest in high-quality, custom-sized crates or cases specifically designed for the components of your stand. Use protective padding and packing materials to reduce movement and friction during transportation. Clearly label each crate or case with its contents with handling instructions to ensure efficient unloading and unpacking at the exhibition venue.
Choose durable materials for your exhibition stand components. Consider lightweight yet sturdy aluminum frames for walls and structures. Fabric panels are lighter and easier to transport than tough materials like wood or acrylic. These materials can be easily replaced if damaged.
If possible, assemble your stand at the manufacturing facility before transporting it to the exhibition venue. This approach helps identify any potential assembly issues and allows for prompt adjustments or repairs before arriving at the venue. Scrutinize all components, and check for any loose screws, or weak joints, to find and resolve any manufacturing defect.
Even the thought of damage during the trade show is horrifying for the exhibitors. Follow the suggestions given below to avoid any hazards during the show.
Establish clear communication channels with the venue support staff and your booth staff. Instruct your booth staff with proper handling procedures for equipment and display items. Make them understand the importance of safety procedures while assembling the stand and remind them to report any defect or damage immediately.
Use hooks, ropes, or other secure attachments for tying lightweight displays or promotional materials. It is essential to prevent them from dropping over due to accidental bumps or strong wind. Use strong barriers to define your exhibit space and request visitors to avoid leaning or touching fragile items.
Avoid using food and beverages and refrain others too from doing so near risky zones. Specify areas within your booth where food and beverages are not permitted. Place signage reminding visitors to refrain from keeping drinks and eatables on or above display screens or near electronics.
You cannot become careless regarding the safety of exhibition stands once the trade show is over. Follow the instructions mentioned below after the show.
Just like assembly, dismantling should be done carefully to avoid wear and tear. Ensure all components are properly packed back into their respective crates or cases with the same kind of protective layers for smooth transportation.
Upon returning from the show, dedicate time to thoroughly clean and inspect your exhibit components. Remove grit, grime, and oil from displays. Resolve any minor scratches with appropriate cleaning solutions or touch-up paint. If any issue is more complex, seek professional assistance to get it repaired. This maintenance approach extends the lifespan of your exhibition.
Accidents are inevitable and they often occur when you don’t expect them. Consider buying trade show insurance for peace of mind. Trade show insurance can cover damage to your exhibit caused by unforeseen circumstances, such as accidents, theft, or vandalism.
Some safety aspects need to be taken care of always.
Train your booth staff to handle customer questions and handling the exhibit. Make them learn about the proper handling techniques for delicate items and procedures. Encourage them to report any potential hazards or damage promptly.
Take detailed photos of your exhibition stand before, during, and after the show. This approach helps to keep track and becomes valuable if you need to file an insurance claim or identify any recurring issues.
A well-maintained exhibit not only strengthens your professional image but also ensures the best return on your investment. Always prefer using premium-quality exhibition stands to achieve this objective.
