Choosing the Right Corner Shelving for Your Trade Show Booth
If you have a fairly large booth, or a lot of products that you want to display, then having corner shelving can be quite helpful as it provides a place for your to display items that you want people to see. While you will also need to have other display shelves, corner shelving is convenient in that it does not take up a lot of space and thus leaves room for potential customers to get in and out of your booth easily.
There are many kinds of corner shelving units on the market. They can be made from hardwood, composite wood, plastic, metal or glass. What kind you get for your booth will most likely depend on what kind of look you want your booth to have overall. This is something that should be decided on as soon as possible. Go to the booth as soon as you can after you rent it, look at the booth and decide what items will go where and what style of booth will best showcase the products or service your company is offering. It is also important to measure the booth and know what size of shelves you need so that the shelves you get will be just the right size.
Another thing to take into consideration is the products you are offering and see not only what materials the shelves should be made from but also what color they should be. White corner shelves are a good option as they are useful for pretty much any booth and any product that you may be offering. If you are offering children’s products then you may want to consider colorful plastic or wood corner shelves as these will make your booth look bright and cheery – just the kind of look that will attract parents and children alike to your booth.
Glass corner shelves are a nice option if you are selling items that are not too heavy, such as candles, towels, soaps, dishes, dolls, etc. These will give your booth a very nice look but you should be aware that glass shelves are delicate and thus very difficult to transport to and from the booth. Metal and plastic shelves are, generally speaking, the easiest shelves to work with when it comes to trade show booths, as they are lightweight and easy to set up and take back down again. They are also easy to move around if you decide during the trade show that you want to change the look of the both around a bit.
If the booth is being set up at an outdoor trade show, then this will also affect what kind of shelving units you will want to have set up. While there is a roof, the booth and items in it will be more exposed to the elements than at an indoor trade show or exhibition. If you get metal shelves, be sure that they are treated so they do not rust if they happen to get wet. Plastic shelving units are a good choice for outdoor exhibitions as they are the least likely to be affected by the elements.
You can buy corner shelving units from a variety of places, either furniture stores, supermarkets or even online from an online retailer. Buying what you need online does have its advantages in that it is often cheaper and you can more easily compare prices and make sure you are getting the best deal on the market. Also, it is often easier to find exactly what you want online than it is to go to different shops looking for a certain kind of shelving unit. However, buying online does have its drawbacks. The main reasons being that you are relying on a picture of the item you want to buy instead of being able to actually see the shelf set up and get a better idea of what it looks like. Another is the fact that you do sometimes have to pay for the shipping of your purchase to you if you buy online. If you do not have a lot of experience with buying shelves then you may want to stick with shopping at a furniture store, as then you can get a better idea of what you are buying. Then, if for any reason it is not exactly what you want, it is easier to return or exchange the item than if you buy it online.
The exact prices vary depending on what style and brand name of shelves you buy, as well as how large or small they are. Generally speaking, metal shelves are the cheapest buy, followed by plastic, although this does depend on exactly what kind of plastic is used for the shelves. Buy something that looks good in the booth but that is not too expensive.
