High-quality, robust fixtures help to enhance your display, ensuring it comes across as professional and appealing. However, there are a few things you should know when it comes to purchasing fixtures for a trade show. Be sure to keep the following points in mind:<\/p>\n<p><strong>When ordering trade show equipment, you have to work with tight timeframes. <\/strong>Typically, trade show equipment must be delivered, dismantled, and picked up within a very short window of time. It&#8217;s important to know these exact dates and times, otherwise you might need to store your fixtures, which could incur hefty storage fees.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You can buy used fixtures. <\/strong>A popular solution is to work with retailers who purchase used display equipment around the venue. You can buy the displays from the companies, and the companies will then re-purchase and collect the displays from you at the end of the trade show. If you&#8217;d prefer to avoid re-selling at the end of the tradeshow and are feeling generous (or looking for a tax benefit), you can often donate used fixtures instead. Many non-profits can find ways to creatively use old trade booths, and there are even organizations that can help facilitate the donation process.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Displays must adhere to detailed specifications. <\/strong>It is critical that all fixtures adhere to a given trade show&#8217;s specifications. In most cases, there will be an on-site coordinator affiliated with the show to answer any exhibitor questions. If you do have questions about specifications, its best to reach out to this coordinator.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, before a tradeshow it is important to do your due diligence. Make sure you&#8217;re ordering fixtures in accordance with the set dates and times of the tradeshow, and make sure the fixtures adhere to all relevant specifications.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When displaying at a trade show, having the right fixtures is absolutely critical.
