More Fairs Added To Our Portfolio

I know I havent updated my blog in quite some time, but it has really been a very busy month for me. With so many upcoming exhibitions in all parts of the world, and with so many enquiries, time flew by without my even noticing it!! But I am happy. It has all been very fruitful and enriching.

We have now successfully expanded our portfolio to include more fairs in Germany. We will now be doing stands in Anuga Cologne, A+A Dusseldorf and the EMO Hannover Fairs. We are now targetting even more fairs not only in Germany, but in the Middle East as well. For a stand designing and contracting company based in Ghaziabad, India, that is certainly no mean achievement!!

Exhibition Booth Design

Exhibition Booth Design, is really no different from any other design problem or project. It follows the same principles of form, space and aesthetics. Although, the scale is smaller as compared to lets say an average office interior or a small sized residential design, the design itself is more often than not, much more extravagant. But the principles still remain the same.

The only extra constraint that comes into play is the time factor. Exhibitions, the world over, offer very tight time schedules for set up of the booth. With normally, just two to three days to set up the entire stand, sometimes even a small stand becomes a pain in the you-know-what!! When one considers the Indian exhibition industry, this can prove to be a very important factor when designing and constructing a stand. After all, one would not want to design a stand that is so complex, that fabricating and setting it up is a complex and time-intensive process. The reference to the Indian exhibition industry, is by virtue of the fact that in India, the actual time of handover of the stand space to the stand constructor by the fair organizers, is very different from what is communicated to the participant. Often it is delayed by six to twelve hours, sometimes even more. and believe me, that can be

Being based in Ghaziabad, Studio One Designs Pvt. Ltd., with its well equipped workshop, is usually able to take good care of most contingencies in most exhibitions. Thanks to our tie-up with a very well known and respected stand constructing company in Germany , we are now able to offer the same commitment to our clients in European fairs as well.

The Right Time To Plan

When I talk to prospective clients about their booth design, a question that keeps cropping up from the clients' side, in various avatars, is "can we take a decision on this next week?" or "whats the hurry?".

Think about it, and the answer is not very difficult to understand. The more time the stand designer has, the better the planning that can go into designing and fabricating it. Also, costs can be reduced and mishaps avoided. The best part, from the participants' perspective is, the earlier he decides and finalizes things, the more the designer will be game to bargaining and reducing prices, to even the extent of slashing his margins!!!

Meaning a better designed stand, with a better finish and better chances of a timely delivery, at a lower price!! Best of both the worlds, or should I say, best of all the worlds!!

What Determines The Price Of An Exhibition Stand / Stall

In the last many years that I have been in this industry, I have found this to be the most tricky of all questions that I get asked by my clients. The reason is, there is no one specific factor that determines price. Price is determined by so many factors, to varying degrees depending on the specific conditions of the exhibition, that it becomes extremely difficult, even for experts, to determine an exact price for an exhibition stand!!

At first glance, it would appear as if the price of a stand is the sum of the price paid for the raw materials and the labour that needs to be used to put it all together and sundry other insignificant factors. But really that is not so. There are a lot of factors that are not easily visible to people who are not actively associated with stand building in exhibitions. And these factors can have very significant effects on the overall price of the stand!!

One factor is the location of the exhibition. Is it in India? If so, then in what city? Or is it in some European country? How many exhibitions does that city hold in a year, also effects the price of a stall!! Because that determines how conducive the environment there is for building an exhibition stand. That is so, because if a lot of exhibitions are held there, then obviously, better infrastructure would have come up to aid exhibition stand building. And that can reduce the cost somewhat.

Then again, an important factor is the timing of the exhibition. Sometimes when an exhibition is being held in a very busy period, the cost of building a stall can go up. This is so because all contractors and stand builders become very busy and then they have to hire extra people to look after increased demand. Naturally, that means increased costs for them and automatically for you.

Another very important factor is the time left for the fair, when the stand design is finalized and the purchase order is issued. The more time there is for the fair, the better planning can go into stand construction and that can reduce costs. Even otherwise, stand builders are more game to reducing prices when they still have a lot of time on their hands, than when they have their backs pushed to the wall in terms of deadlines.
