When it comes to trade show exhibit solutions, the terms “budget” vs “portable” are often used interchangeably.
However, they can mean two very different things. Budget can signify cheap, both in price and construction. Or it can refer to a cost-effective basic solution without added bells and whistles. And just because a display is lightweight and easily transported (i.e., portable), that doesn’t necessarily mean it will be low in cost or lacking in quality. Depending upon the manufacturer and the design partner you choose, the results can vary widely.
Read on for four essential factors to consider before you purchase your next budget or portable display.
They often serve two different purposes.
- Portable trade show displays are small and lightweight, allowing for easy conveyance and setup by one person. Their compact size also delivers savings on shipping and drayage, and makes storage a breeze. Portable displays also offer remarkable flexibility. For example, they are appropriate for times when exhibit space is cost prohibitive or when only small spaces are available. They can be used as stand-alone displays or in conjunction with much larger exhibits, as well.
- Budget trade show booths are reasonable in cost but typically offer fewer options and limited design elements. These displays tend to be simple and straightforward; they get the job done but may lack the “wow” factor of custom exhibits. They can be a smart move for exhibitors who are new to the trade show scene and want to test the waters before making a more substantial display investment.
There’s no need to sacrifice impressive design.
At Adler Display, our design professionals can help you create the perfect display for your needs at a price you can afford. For example, you might opt to personalize your portable exhibit with attractive counters, immersive workstations, visually-appealing floating graphics, and more. If you are seeking a low-cost solution, we can work with your budget to create a reasonably priced yet striking display that’s sure to get noticed.
Don’t skimp on quality construction.
Many portables and budget displays are fashioned from hollow metal tubing. They’re lightweight and inexpensive, but they can be fragile. Our budget displays and portables are sturdy, configured from high-quality aluminum extrusion. Still lightweight and easy to assemble, they provide the strength required to hold accessories like monitors, literature trays, floating graphics, and workstations.
Choices galore!
Portable and budget exhibits come in a wide variety of styles, such as pop-up displays, tabletops, fabric tension models, and retractable banner stands. With so many options available, you’re sure to find a solution that’s perfect for your needs. At Adler Display, we create all types, sizes, and styles of portable and budget displays. You can easily modify the design to showcase your brand, the event you plan to attend, or to support specific marketing objectives.
Buying a low-cost or portable display online is a gamble. You might come out on top but it’s more likely that you will end up with a less-than-appealing final product. Don’t leave your display to chance. Work with a reputable trade show design consultant who has your best interests at heart.
