What is an Exhibit House?

Nov 9, 2023

An Exhibit House can be a company that has the ability to design, build, install, and store a trade show display. These companies can be an extension to an organization’s marketing and event department, as well as an asset for their sales team. While a company is not required to use an Exhibit House when participating in a trade show/convention, the benefits of hiring one are just too good to ignore.

Not every company that exhibits at a show is a Fortune 500 organization that has an enormous marketing department that can handle everything from graphic design to event coordination. Most of the time, a company attending a trade show is a mom-and-pop establishment that is unable to manage their event program due to the volume of tasks they have day to day (and that’s okay!). By utilizing a company that specializes in trade shows, you are able to focus on other priorities while your booth is being designed, shipped out, and installed.

Most companies do not have a location where they are able to construct a two-story structure in their warehouse (don’t worry, we do). On top of ordering marketing material, booking travel and lodging, and picking team members to attend the show…do you also want to build your exhibit? An Exhibit House has the ability to bring your design ideas from a piece of paper to a physical build. Our shop has the ability to make custom metal work, printed fabric graphics that a seamstress will sew for a custom hanging sign, and much more. Let the experts build your display.

As a decision maker in your future show planning, do you want to rent or own your display? While you can rent something from show management, why not go for something unique to your brand? An Exhibit House has the ability to offer a wide range of assets that can be either purchased for you to use at multiple shows or rental options. While this can be another discussion that we will later talk about in a different blog, you as the exhibitor have to decide what’s best for your brand. At Dimension Craft, we offer a wide range of custom pieces that you can utilize in your space.

Other benefits of utilizing an Exhibit House include material handling, labor, and…STORAGE! When the show is finally done and the exhibit is deconstructed, where will you have it shipped? Unless your supply closet can fit a 400+ square foot structure, you might not have room to hold everything to use next year. At Dimension Craft, we have a large enough warehouse where we are able to store your display to use for next year. Want to use the same graphics and furniture? Leave it with us! We handle everything from coordinating logistics on when to have your exhibit arrive from our warehouse to the show floor, labor for set up and take down of your display, and the ability to store it after the show.

Developing concepts, building assets, and shipping out material can take months of planning. Let Dimension Craft be an extension to your event department so that you can focus on other projects that are happening within your organization. While this might be the one show you go to in a year, it’s another day for us. Contact us today for a complimentary consultation.
