The Exhibit Company

Tradeshow displays are crucial for enhancing visibility and branding, effectively presenting a company's identity and message to a targeted audience. However, setting up a tradeshow booth display often involves renting furniture and props from different sources to create an impressive and cohesive look. These rented items may not always complement each other or align with the desired theme or vision.

This is where The Exhibit Company comes in, providing the external support to ensure the booth stands out. With over 35 years of experience, it is a trade show display company that offers full-service solutions and high-quality products to the trade show industry.

“Our constant presence on the show floor ensures that we are well informed of the latest industry trends and help our clients maximize their visibility across the hall,” says Heather Griffin, president of The Exhibit Company.

The company provides a comprehensive range of services, from booth design to shipping, setup, and on-site support. This eliminates the need for clients to coordinate with multiple vendors separately. The company also takes care of material handling or electrical labor requirements at the venues. Clients can further cross-check the products ordered on their behalf for better transparency.

The Exhibit Company's tradeshow display booths exude luxury, integrating custom elements with an extensive rental inventory that includes LED screens, lighting, and flooring. All booths are also pre-staged to minimize errors and risks while ensuring quality and efficiency.

The company’s onboarding process starts with understanding the clients’ challenges, objectives, product specifications and storage needs. The insights gathered are then used to create an initial concept using CAD software. This encompasses a basic line drawing, focusing on form and function, which is presented to the client for feedback on the layout. After receiving the client's input, a detailed color rendering of the booth and an itemized proposal are developed.

Once the design and proposal are approved, clients are expected to provide a 50 percent deposit. The company then manages all logistics, including form submissions, deadlines, truck scheduling, and arranging flights. The booth is pre-staged, photographed, and, depending on its size, video recorded for client approval before shipping to the trade show. After the props are shipped, an on-site team sets up the booth within one to three days. The client only needs to arrive at a fully assembled booth, ready to impress their audience.

Apart from offering custom design and fabrication services, The Exhibit Company also provides comprehensive backend support through a dedicated show service coordinator. The coordinator's sole responsibility is to manage all event-related paperwork and deadlines to ensure everything is on track. They calendar all deadlines and set alarms to secure advance discounts for clients. The coordinator also handles orders on behalf of clients and ensures they receive confirmations for all transactions. Clients are also given a checklist to review and approve the tasks being handled, providing them with transparency and peace of mind.

If an emergency arises prior to or during the trade show, it has contingency plans and resources to address these issues quickly. One of the emergency solutions they offer is same-day reprinting of materials. This ensures that any damaged or missing elements can be replaced swiftly so that the booth looks perfect when the trade show opens.

An example of The Exhibit Company going above and beyond to create the perfect booth was demonstrated when the company took on the challenge to make a portable custom solution within two weeks for a Chicago Boat Cruise experience. It designed and manufactured a custom aluminum frame with a pillowcase graphic system. The team carefully bent the tubes to precise angles for stability, reviewed and adjusted the graphics for realism, and painted the aluminum frames to mimic the boat's railings. The company expedited shipping and allowed the client to practice their setup before the event. The client was thrilled with the final result and praised the company for effective collaboration throughout the project.

Success stories like these have made the company stand out as a one-stop solution for trade show exhibitors seeking efficiency, quality, and peace of mind. The clients choosing The Exhibit Company are not just hiring a service provider but a partner with seasoned expertise who understands the nuances of trade shows and is well-equipped to deliver exceptional results.
