Managing your exhibit services vs. outsourcing it?

What’s the major difference between managing your exhibit services vs. outsourcing it? The answer is simple, What’s your time worth? Do you have 2-3 days to dedicate to show preparations?

The major advantage of a turn-key solution is that the exhibit house will handle all the service orders, logistics and coordination for you for a fee. If you are not familiar with show services and have not reviewed an exhibitor manual – gathering information and evaluating options could take between 3-4 hours. Then you have to check all the deadlines and build a timeline. Then there is the task of placing the show service orders like electrical, cleaning  and labor. Last is coordinating shipping and logistics before and after the show. This can all become overwhelming and it’s a process that can take, like we mentioned,  2-3 solid days.

Here are a few considerations:
• Account managers typically have years of trade show experience and know the do’s and don’ts. They understand trade show deadlines and are proactive with regard to approaching show services and client needs.
• Install & dismantle labor partners are trained and familiar with your exhibits so the labor takes less time and ensures that the exhibitors’ expectations are met.
• Logistics partners have extensive trade show experience and an established relationship with exhibit houses. They don’t experience “force outs” or “lost freight”.
• Emergency availability and resources to resolve problems are part of the exhibit house’s service guarantee.
