Clients often ask us if they should buy or rent their exhibition gear – for many, it can be a big investment and a tricky conversation to have with the company accountant! 

There are some that say proper lighting can increase awareness of your stand by 30-50%. Remember that the shell-scheme lighting that comes with your stand package is usually pretty basic and intended as a starting point; it’s unlikely to differentiate your stand from the others.

Successful experiential campaigns often rely on the staff that activates them, on the staff that actually talk to customers, the staff that engage with customers.
