Budget Banner Stands

admin — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 20:39:20 +0000

Coupling a banner stand with a budget tabletop display can be an excellent — and cheap! –way to get affordable eye appeal for your booth.

Banner stands often sell for under $200 depending upon the kind of banner material that you use. 1200 dpi laminate material tends to cost more although if done correctly they can have amazingly vibrant and long lasting colors.

The more affordable banners are usually made of some type of hi-res vinyl material. These materials can be a little grainier than laminates although for most uses they work out fine visually.

Banner stands are often on sale so be sure to shop around for the best deals. Here is a small sampling of recent prices found for affordable banner stands.

Ultra Banner Display

The Ultra Banner Display is a simple and clean designed display suitable for a variety of banner materials. The banner attaches with the provided velcro strips, available in widths of 24″ & 36″. The spring loaded telescoping rear pole is adjustable between 42″-72″. Ultra is very lightweight and has a unique tension feature to insure tension on the graphic. Radiuses bottom legs give the design a contemporary look and prevent damage in traveling. Available in 1 or 2 sided in Black.

Purchasing Trade Show Booths and Displays

admin — Fri, 03 Aug 2007 10:18:51 +0000

How trade show booths and displays are bought and sold has changed dramatically over the last few years. Some of the changes — such as overall lower retail prices — have been good for trade show booth buyers. On the other hand, the increased number of smaller trade show booth sellers on the internet has had a dampening effect on customer satisfaction.

Trade Show Booth Market History

Up until just a few years ago, virtually all purchasing of trade show displays at the retail level was done at a bricks and mortar showroom. The industry was dominated by a few big trade show display manufacturers who sold their products wholesale to regional distributors who were granted geographic sales territories.

To be a trade show distributor meant you had the financial means to have retail showroom space as well as a line of credit with the manufacturer for purchasing products wholesale. Manufacturers in turn were fairly picky as to who they allowed to get distributor rights. A distributor needed to show that they had ample industry knowledge as well the ability to provide the end user with the proper level of customer support.

Since there were fewer distributors in the market and less competition, distributors were able to maintain hefty margins on the trade show booth sales.

It was not at all unusual for distributors to purchase a 10 foot pop up display for $1000 wholesale and then sell it for $3000 or more at the retail level.

Changes to the Trade Show Booth Wholesale Market

Today, the wholesale market for trade show booths has changed. Many major trade show booth manufacturers have decided to allow distributors to sell their products over the internet in order to capitialize on the ecommerce explosion.

In addition, more trade show booth manufacturers have entered the market that was once dominated by a few large companies such as Abex, Skyline, and Nomadic.

This loosening of the standards to become a distributor as well as the increased number of manfacturers has had several effects on the trade show booth market:

1) It has replaced the relatively small number of regional trade show booth distrbutors with many smaller internet distributors.

2) The increase in internet distributors has created more competition which has driven down the distributor margins. 5 years ago distributors could purchase a traditional 10 foot popup display for $1000 wholesale and would commonly sell it at a 200% markup. Today, the markups for 10 foot popup displays are closer to the 20% - 30% range. And the margins continue to drop as more internet sellers — who typically have very little overhead — continue to slash their retail prices.

3) The loosening of distributor qualifications has allowed many internet trade show businesses to enter the marketplace with very little — if any — industry or product knowledge. This lack of industry and product knowledge by many internet distributors has lowered the customer support levels for the trade show booth industry as a whole.

What This Means For The Budget Trade Show Booth Buyer

As mentioned above, as more distributors enter the market we will continue to see:

More falling retail prices
More imports from China and Korea
Poorer customer support from the majority of online sellers who are only invested for the short term
A tendency towards graphic design offerings as margins on hard products drop
Some innovative product development as manufacturers try to break out of the product commoditization of trade show displays
