Pop Up Booths Save Both Time and Money
If you attend many trade shows, you will know how expensive it can be to first travel to and then to set up at a trade show. That is not to mention all of the other expenses incurred during the trade show, such as paying for the attendee’s accommodation, food and transport to and from the trade show. Companies regularly spend thousands of dollars a year attending trade shows. Of course, for most companies it is money well spent as the returns from new customers or new trade relations can really be worthwhile.
However, probably your company is interested in saving wherever they can when it comes to trade shows. While there are some unavoidable expenses, there are other ways that you can save both time and money. Many companies these days are investing in custom designed pop up booths, and using these at trade shows. There are many advantages to using a pop up booth, and they are becoming increasingly more popular.

They come in many different sizes and styles, and whether you are looking for something very simple and economical or you want to invest in something that will showcase your company and bring a lot of people to your booth, you should be able to find something that is suitable and within your price bracket.
Setting up for a trade show can be very trying. Often there can be delays in receiving your posters and displays on time, which causes the whole initial setup process to be very trying and stressful. You also have the added stress of trying to decide which poster and which stand should go where. Invariably one piece of the display is forgotten or has gotten broken in transit, and you have last minute repairs or replacements to come up with. Of course, there is always a lot of pressure to have everything set up and ready for when the doors open that first day. By investing in a pop up trade show booth you will avoid all of those problems.
There are different types of pop up display booths, but most are designed in a similar fashion. The keys elements to their design should include things such as:
* Fast and simple assemble, preferably without having to use any tools.
* Include items that you need to set up and operate, such as side tables, plenty of display space, spotlights.
* Should also have additional accessories that you can purchase to suit your specific needs, such as adjustable tables, bookshelves, different shaped display tables, a variety of different lighting.
* Preferably, you should be able to attach graphics and posters either magnetically, or by using Velcro.
* Different sized units, in dimensions that would fit inside standard sized trade show booths.
Prices for pop up trade show booths vary, depending on both the size and the accessories included with the booth. Naturally the simpler, smaller booths cost quite a bit less than the larger, more accessorized booths. Generally speaking, they retail for anywhere from $3,000 to $5,500. Most come with basic accessories, however you will most likely need to invest another $1,000 to $2,000 for additional items that will enable you to set the booth up completely. It is possible to trim costs on the accessories, by using tables and lights that you already have. However, with time, it is much better to buy matching accessories, as they not only look a lot better but also they are designed to fit the trade show pop up booths exactly.
Ideally, two people should be able to set up a booth completely in a couple of hours. Compare that to the often whole days or whole mornings that it can take two to three people to properly assemble and set up tables, displays and shelves.
Just by saving all that manpower alone, at every trade fair you attend, will mean that you are saving money. You will also end up saving money in the long run by having one set piece that you take with you to every trade fair, as opposed to having to constantly come up with new displays and display ideas. The only thing you will need to remember to do before any trade fair is to decide if you want to change the posters or display graphics from those used last time. When you are not using it, the pop up tradeshow booths can be neatly and compactly stored away in their own cases.
If your company attends trade shows on a regular basis, you will not regret investing in pop up booths. They look great, and make the trade fair that much more enjoyable, with all the worry of setting up and then closing down at the end taken care of in a couple of hours.
