Reducing Exhibitor Costs
Following are some ways you can help reduce costs for your exhibitors.
Package booth zones: Set aside a section of the exhibit floor for package booths - those that come with carpet, 6' table, 2 chairs and a wastebasket. You may be able to negotiate with your General Service Contractor (GSC) for a reduced rate for these spaces because they will only have a single run for carpet rather than separate runs for individual booth carpet.
Work with your GSC to develop one or more turnkey packages which could include services from the GSC as well as other contractors. These services, bundled with exhibit space fees allow exhibitors to budget more effectively.
You might also work with the GSC to develop New Exhibitor pavilions or technology pavilions for small businesses that may not have the financial resources to afford exhibit space and services. Companies that participate in these pavilions might have a kiosk or a table top exhibit.
Value added carpet: Carpet savings can be realized by laying the hall carpet in one color and including it in the price of exhibit space. The GSC will then be able to lay long runs of carpet at a reduced labor cost. You might provide one color standard 9' wide carpet for all in-line exhibit spaces and cut/lay carpet for peninsula and island booth spaces and include the price of carpet in the exhibit space fees.
Advanced ordering: Encourage your exhibitors to take advantage of discount ordering deadlines offered by the GSC and other specialty contractors. Orders placed onsite can cost up to 30% more than those ordered in advance.
Exhibit rental: Encourage your exhibitors to utilize the GSC's exhibitor sales consultants for custom rental exhibits. Rental exhibits can provide a cost-effective, design-conscious solution for exhibitors to market their company at a fraction of the cost of a traditional build exhibit.
