subject: Using Trade Show Displays In The Workplace [print this page] There are many uses for trade show displays inside the convention building. You can combine different booths to create different effects, and even use modular designs in some situations. There are uses for portable displays outside of conventions as marketing assistance in outdoor exhibits and employment conferences. However, few businesses discover one of the most rewarding ways to use table top displays: as an enhancement to the work experience in an office setting.
From Trade Show Displays To Office Enhancement
Successfully transferring your exhibit from the convention to the office requires one thing above all else: your initial design has to incorporate flexibility. If you don't have the ability to easily interchange images and text, then you can't easily change the exhibit back to its convention status when it next needs to be used. Only put a booth to use in the office if you're confident that its use now won't impact its ability to be used for conventions later.
There is one important downside to office use which must be considered. Unless you place the exhibit with particular care, you run the risk of having it incur damage by unintentional bumps from your personnel. If you choose to use your booth as an office exhibit, ensure that it is out of the way. Table top placement makes this task easier, as these exhibits are less vulnerable to bumping in the first place and more resilient if there ever is a problem.
Many Portable Displays, Many Uses
Once you have decided to utilize your exhibits outside of a convention, there are many ways to put them to work. The first is to leave them up completely unchanged as a motivation and reminder to your staff. Seeing the exhibit, designed to promote exactly the initiatives that they're currently developing, is a big morale booster for every department. It expresses the company's pride in their work, and inspires them to keep up the excellent job.
If you are comfortable having your trade show displays used in a more hands-on capacity, it can become something of a more formal bulletin board to enhance office communication. Important items can be attached using Velcro strips, and the board can be placed in a prominent location where all employees can see it.
In addition, if your office has a waiting room or reception area, placing exhibits in that area can have a great impact on business prospects. While people wait to speak with someone from your company, they can browse your materials and learn something about your company. You may also choose to leave other literature, such as brochures, with the exhibit, further highlighting what your company has to offer.
Use Your Table Top Displays, But Ensure They Don't Become Worn Out
One major hazard of office use is increased wear and tear. This is not a problem if the exhibit is mostly used as static content. If used as a bulletin board, it can sometimes be less durable than if it were left alone. Although using it for this purpose is still a good idea and can be beneficial, managers should keep an eye on it to ensure that no problems arise. If anything appears to be fraying or becoming worn out, the booth should immediately be removed and considered for replacement.
