What we heard from you about trade show budgets

Posted on | Updated on in All

We opened our doors for our annual Block Party, and you all blew us away. If you’ve ever wondered what happens at a trade show exhibit house between builds, this was a look at it. Clients and project partners walked our showroom floor, saw our capabilities up close, and traded ideas over good food. It’s one of our favorite days of the year.

A break from trade show season

For many of our clients, trade show season means constant motion: planning, budgeting, logistics, install, repeat. The Block Party is our way of pausing that for an afternoon. We stepped out from behind the emails and spec sheets to show you what we’ve been building, including new capabilities in our facility and fresh ideas in the showroom.

If something caught your eye on the tour, such as fabrication, graphics, or one of our display builds, reach out. We’ll walk through how it could fit your next show.

What we’re hearing from you

While you were here, we asked one question: what’s the #1 trade show struggle your team runs into? The answer we heard most was budget. Exhibitors told us
they have big goals and budgets that haven’t kept up with rising costs. One described it as “Champagne ideas with a Busch Light budget.”

Behind the budget worry is a second one: proving the show was worth it. Teams want to know how to measure ROI, how to show leadership the value, and how to make the case for more budget next year.

If that sounds like your team, our Trade Show Booth Costs guide breaks down where the money goes. And if your biggest headache is something else, tell us. We’d like to hear it.
