So when you are picking an exhibition booth contractor what’s the first thing that you do?
You look up on the internet and try to find some reviews, a good way to start. After all, it has proven to be a reliable method for most products and services that you buy. Except that, you will be hard-pressed to find reviews since, due to the B2B nature of the exhibiting industry, reviews are hard to come by for companies looking to judge the value a good trade show booth contractor provides.
Even with large amounts of money being spent for even the most basic of exhibition booths, most of the companies that are involved can’t look up reviews nor do they have the time to put one up on a review site towards any exhibition booth contractor unless they’re experience was particularly bad. So how do you find exhibition booth builders, who have the expertise to execute an expo booth design with reliability and creativity? Well, that’s simple:
Active Years: You look up their number of years in the exhibiting business, how many clients they’ve served and how active they’ve been in Europe.
Stand Designs: Then, you correlate that with the number of designs they showcased on their website or brochure to create a timeline to see how active they are for the years they’ve mentioned.
That’s usually more than enough to weed out the fly by night booth contractors. If the builder you are vetting doesn’t have a website, you can ask them to mail you their brochure or portfolio. You should also look them up on social media websites such as Facebook or LinkedIn to get a better corporate profile about their company.
