How Can I Reduce My Overall Costs as an Exhibitor?

Smart planning can make a big difference. Follow these tips to save money on your exhibit expenses:

• Place your orders early to take advantage of discounted advance pricing—this applies to furnishings, electrical, internet, and other services.

• Consolidate your shipments. Material handling fees are charged per shipment, so avoid sending multiple deliveries whenever possible.

• Bring it in yourself. You’re allowed to hand-carry your materials—check the exhibitor service kit for specific guidelines.

• Pallet and shrink-wrap multiple boxes together to ensure they’re processed and charged as a single shipment.

• Schedule labor during straight time hours (typically weekdays before 5 PM) to avoid costly overtime rates.

By planning ahead and coordinating your logistics, you’ll get the most value from your exhibit investment.
