Custom Booth Configurations
An inline booth is typically in a row with neighboring exhibitors to the left and right, leaving only the front side exposed to an aisle. See how you can transform your inline booth into a branded space on any budget.
A peninsula booth has aisles on three sides, with the main backwall connected to the end of a row of inline booths or another peninsula booth. Learn more about peninsula spaces and check out some designs.
Island booths are open to aisles on all four sides. Designing this space for optimal traffic flow, branding and messaging is key to leveraging this high-value space. Explore your island booth options.
Double-deck booths take your display to new heights. See how these structures increase your square footage to create meeting rooms, hospitality suites or additional product displays above your main show floor space.
Custom Booth FAQs
From discovery to installation, the timeline for developing a custom trade show booth generally ranges from 12 to 16 weeks, depending on booth size, design complexity and materials used. Early collaboration with your custom exhibit partner ensures a smooth process and timeline.
Maximizing ROI with a custom trade show booth involves a combination of strategic planning, scalable booth configurations, optimized traffic flow, intuitive wayfinding and strong sightlines. Key tactics include highly visible branding, compelling messaging, high-impact graphics and incorporating interactive and personal engagement opportunities to generate sales opportunities. Lead management processes also need to be in place to measure ROI results.
Our Leads Estimator Tool can help you determine how many demo stations you need to hit your leads goals.
Custom booths have higher upfront costs than renting, but these costs can be offset over time through reusability and capital expense accounting. Scalable custom booths can withstand repeated use for multiple events over the long term, typically with some occasional repairs, reconfiguring and refreshing. Custom booths are ideal for brands that exhibit at many trade shows and want a visual advantage for major industry events.
Incorporating product demonstration stations and interactive technology into a custom booth both educates visitors and provides an immersive experience that fosters emotional connections and enhances memory recall. Strategic placement of products and technology can turn curiosity into action. Key tactics include guided demos, workshops, educational sessions, VR, AR, gamification and touchscreens.
A well-designed custom exhibit serves as a mobile brand environment, supporting brand awareness, product launches, experiential marketing, lead generation, new market penetration, pipeline growth and relationship building.
A custom exhibit is typically built for long-term, repeated use, which reduces material waste and consumption over its lifecycle. Purposeful design choices, modularity, responsible material selection, efficient lighting and digital technology in lieu of physical products or printed collateral further reduce the exhibitor's footprint.
When working with your trade show fabricator, choose a flexible custom booth design that allows you to reconfigure components for 10' x 10', 10' x 20', 20' x 20' and larger spaces. Consider multiple booth formats, as well, such as inline, peninsula or island styles. A cleverly designed custom booth will maintain brand consistency across various shows and booth formats.
To measure a booth's effectiveness beyond lead counts, consider the following:
- Sales Conversion Rate: Calculate the percentage of leads that turned into sales.
- Revenue: Calculate the revenue generated from leads that turned into sales.
- Return on Investment: Calculate the ROI of the booth by subtracting booth costs from sales lead revenue.
- Cost per Lead: Calculate the CPL by dividing the booth costs by the number of leads generated. Measure how that compares to your other marketing initiatives.
- Revenue per Lead: Calculate the RPL by dividing the sales revenue by the number of leads generated. Measure how that compares to your other marketing initiatives.
- New Business Development: Determine the percentage of new customers among the leads that converted to sales.
- In Booth Engagements: Count the number of visitors who participated in educational sessions, games, workshops, hospitality, etc.
- Digital Analytics: Monitor website visitor spikes and social media engagement before, during and after the show.
The first step to managing logistics and I&D of a complex custom booth is to follow the show-provided Exhibitor Manual. The manual will provide instructions to guide booth design and layout, as well as specific rules, deadlines and key contacts for the event. Many show organizers also offer discounts if certain forms and orders are submitted in advance of the deadline. Each show, city and venue will have its own set of rules, so it's essential to work closely with an experienced trade show booth fabricator to guide you through the complexities of labor management, rigging, utilities, catering, furnishings and more.
