No problem. Our talented design team can start with a blank canvas and design a one-of-a-kind exhibit tailored specifically to your trade show needs. Although Trade Show Booths are our forte, we are also recognized nationally for creating permanent or temporary museum environments from the ground up. Let’s discuss how we can translate your marketing strategy into a powerful 3-D experience that puts your business on the leading edge.
- What kind of booth is right for me?
Once you formulate your objectives and budget, give us a call and we’ll assist you in finding a booth style that meets your goals. We can guide you to a style that works best for your transportation needs, as well. Portable exhibits can usually be packed into cases that may be checked onto airlines or shipped via standard ground services. This allows you to bring in and set up the displays on your own – thus avoiding the expense and hassle of hiring trucking companies and union labor for installation and dismantling. Union rules vary by venue, but most of our offerings do not require union laborers, and are easily set up in 15 to 30 minutes. Here are the most common portable booth styles:
Pop-up exhibits are the most widely used portable displays. The structure consists of folding frames that are covered with magnetic backed fabric or photo panels. They come in a variety of sizes and configurations – from tabletop to floor standing, flat or curved. Pop-up exhibits are durable and require little space. They are an affordable choice for small to medium size businesses, or for corporations that need a simultaneous presence at multiple shows. Pop-ups also offer a wide variety of accessories, such as shelving and backlit panels. They are easy to set up and come in a variety of Velcro-receptive fabric colors. They also look spectacular when covered with BWC’s photo quality mural panels.
Panel displays are also quite popular. They offer the same features of pop-up displays, while eliminating the folding frame. Panel displays are often used in situations that require countertops for workspace demonstrations, heavier products, pedestals, or computer terminals.
Roll-up / pull-up banner displays work similarly to window shades, but operate in reverse. The graphic panel expands and retracts into a self-contained cartridge/base unit. This is a great solution for portability, and can be used as an accent to an existing booth. Alternately, you may place several together to create a back wall for your booth. They are also popular for special events, way finders, and HR recruiting activities. Roll-up displays are extremely lightweight and easy to set up, making them excellent for travel.
Truss displays make a bold and sturdy statement about your company. They are highly adaptable and catch a lot of attention. Truss systems are very durable, and can be easily adapted for mounting lighting effects, plasma and LCD monitors, and other equipment. Larger truss systems can often be reconfigured into different styles, or into multiple smaller booths.
Tabletop displays may be a good choice if you don’t require a large display. They come in pop-up, panel, or briefcase styles. As the name implies, they simply set up on top of a table. They are easy to set up, and are quite useful for situations that require frequent travel. Accessorize a tabletop display by adding a table drape with your logo to reinforce your branding message, while simultaneously allowing storage of unsightly supplies and packing materials underneath your table.
- Do you offer accessories?
Sure. We have a wide range of accessories to compliment any display. We offer a complete line of table drapes, literature holders, light boxes, poster frames and stands, kiosk kits, shelves, lights, carrying cases, imprinted director’s chairs, plasma and LCD screen monitor brackets, rotating motors, and promotional items. Let us know how we many assist you with any accessory items.
- Can I coordinate Trade Show graphics from my desktop?
Yes — it’s a convenient way manage your Trade Show graphics, and setup only requires three simple steps:
- Call 972-231-0002 and ask to speak with an Account Executive.
- If your files fall within the specifications of our online form, you can upload them right here on our website. Otherwise, your Account Executive will make arrangements for you to submit your files by another method.
- Your assigned Account Executive will gather your information, submit your request, and contact you for final approval.
- Upon approval, we will coordinate your project with our skilled shop staff. From beginning to completion, your Account Executive will service your project.
Upon completion, setup instructions will be provided with your project. For most displays, this will be all you’ll need. However, for customized displays, we can send an expert from our shop to supervise setup if needed — just ask.
- How can I acquire high-resolution graphics?
High-resolution photography leads to displays that really pop. We offer traditional film photography as one of our many services — in fact, we have over 33 years of experience in the photographic industry. Contact us for more information.
- Can you assist me with design?
Of course we can. We know you’re busy! We also know that your ultimate goal is to reach new clients, and that your investment must be spent wisely. No worries — we offer expert advice free of charge, and we have a creative department that will intentionally connect you to your new clients.
