Before I finish you may find our You Tube Channel useful it contains videos on various banner stands – keep checking as more and more are being added regularly.

At the Show Store we understand that there is a lot more than just the equipment to make a great exhibition stand or event. We have spent years dealing with exhibitors from all walks of life and have used these experiences to create two great FREE guides – The Beginners Guide to Sales and The Ultimate Exhibitors Handbook.

The Beginners Guide to Sales is jam packed with everything you need to know to successfully sell. This information is particularly important when you are using face-to-face marketing techniques on the road at a show, event, seminar or conference.

The Ultimate Exhibitors Handbook is a mighty 55 page handbook full of strategies, tips, tricks and checklists that you’ll be able to use to ensure that your show set-up, organization, planning, purchasing and marketing is carried out in a way that ensures your stand will stand out at the show.

Both guides are easy to use and not too technical so ideal for the first time exhibitor. We know as we have been there ourselves how overwhelming exhibiting can be.  A lot of experienced exhibitors however, have received them and they have all told me that even they have picked up a few new ideas. So don’t think just because you have been doing this for years you know everything, anyway what have you got to loose – they are FREE!

Both Guides are only available when an order is placed so can’t be downloaded and used willy nilly. As soon as the order has completed then the guides will be emailed directly to you and you can get cracking.

Also as a last thought don’t forget to view our You Tube channel which is packed with useful banner stands videos and is updated and added to regularly.

I hope you find them useful – happy reading(viewing)!

Pop up structures include the ability to join together utilizing ‘ghost’ panels. These are individual panels, exactly the same width as any other panel on the original stand but rather than being attached to the main frame, the graphic is actually utilized like a joining panel in between two individual structures. This gives the impression of one  continuous stand. This gives you lots of alternatives and great flexibility when you imagine the permutations that could be built. For instance, 2 curved stands may be combined, 1 facing the front and also 1 in reverse. This can build a snake like pop-up screen that will develop an easy in and out curve. This can also be twin sided should you decide make use of it as a focal point to your event.

It is possible to also create some different designs by combining pop-up frames at 90 degree angles to create displays that may fit completely into the corner within your event space.

Even though the majority of portable exhibition stands are 2.2m high, you can find taller stands out there that could offer extra visual presence for your exhibit without taking up any additional floor area. Pop Up stands can be purchased up to 3m high off the shelf and some companies offer a bespoke service so you could go higher, this is certain to stand out amongst displays which are almost all standard height. In addition , it offers you a lot more flexibility for the design because you are in possession of much more visible area to work with.

Whether or not you choose to utilize a basic sized pop-up screen or perhaps a distinctive bespoke stand, you will find several accessories that you just could apply to your display to make it more than simply a space to exhibit your graphics. You will discover show shelving that might be integrated into a display as well as literature shelves to display business pamphlets and booklets. Lighting is also important and is easily fitted to the stands.

No matter which pop up stand you purchase, the most important factor is that you use it well and create an exhibit that is astounding and represents your business perfectly.

There are literally hundreds of roll up banner stand designs on the markets so how on earth do choose the best one for you?

At the showstore like most other online stores you have numerous roll up banner stands such as the Genie or Alpha available that fundamentally do the same thing, so which one is best for you?

Drum roll please……..introducing a FREE guide to banner stands that runs through the differences between stands and the things you should be looking out for before you buy. We understand through experience how confusing it can be for clients so we have compiled a handy little guide which we think will help people along the way. I have included an excerpt from the guide as a little taster…….

Why do so many products look the same?

Yes that’s right I know, I know…yes they all look the same!

We have gone to huge lengths to try and get across the differences between banner stands at www.theshowstore.co.uk because fundamentally a banner stand is a banner stand is a banner stand. I know that isn’t what you expected to hear but we’re not in the business of hard selling to you.

The only real difference between each kind of banner stand other than whether they are tension, roller or cassette is their size and what the base of the stand looks like, how it looks from the side or back in 99% of cases from the front other than at floor level they look the same!

So if isn’t important to you, go for the cheapest and if it is important to you go for the most stylish it’s just like choosing between a moped and a Harley it’s your choice.
