A large number of businesses promote their products and/or services through the utilization of exhibitor booths. These types of booths are set up at tradeshows or sometimes they are set up at retail stores. Consumers benefit from visiting exhibitor booths because they are able to preview the product or service being displayed. There are several factors that must be taken into consideration before setting up these types of booths, which include attendance factors, space size, and more. In order to make these types of booths successful, lighting, sound, smell, and other elements must be effectively incorporated.

Tradeshows consisting of exhibitor booths occur all over the world and vary in attendance. It depends on the allotted space size provided to exhibitors as to how large their exhibit booths can be. An exhibitor booth usually consists of images, actual products, and an exhibitor host. The host uses the images and actual products to show consumers how a product works and why it would be advantageous for them to purchase it.

The more consumers a business can attract to its booth(s), the more apt it will be to increase its customer count. When all elements and considerations within exhibitor booths are thoroughly planned out, they can be very effective at increasing a business’ sales revenue. These types of booths also serve as a way for consumers to ask the host direct questions about the products and/or service being displayed. Through answering questions and interacting with consumers, businesses have found exhibitor booths to be an effective way to improve customer relationships.

There are several elements from which to choose when designing exhibitor booths, including special lighting, sound, and smell techniques. Lighting and sound are used to draw consumers to a booth. Using enticing smells also helps to draw people to an exhibit booth. Motion and multimedia displays are also successful at attracting customers to a booth.

Businesses have different reasons as to why they utilize exhibitor booths to show consumers the products and/or services that they have to offer. Some businesses use them to simply increase their brand identity. Others use them to test new products or conduct market research. No matter what reason a business has for using one, the booth is a successful and cost-effective way to reach targeted customers.
