Ten Reasons Why You Should Choose A Hybrid Display

In the past decade, it has become more and more common for companies to choose hybrid exhibits for trade shows, and the appeal of these exhibits simply keeps growing.  The benefits behind hybrid displays are simple, and companies all over the world are taking advantage of these tools to make trade shows more successful.  Hybrid displays are built mostly from engineered aluminum extrusion, along with large format tension fabric graphics.  Laminates, direct print graphics, and custom construction may be added based on the preference of the exhibitor, but the foundation of the exhibit is always the same, and is almost always made of fabric and engineered aluminum.  In order to assemble hybrid displays, it is often necessary to use allen tools, although systems are available that offer a set up that doesn’t require tools, or relies less on specific tools for construction.  In comparison to the classic display, hybrid displays offer the following benefits and advantages.

 1. Hybrid Displays Are Lighter

Hybrid displays are made of aluminum, and the exhibitor is able to disassemble the display after the exhibit.  Because they are made of aluminum, your exhibit will weigh less than a classic exhibit, and is moved in fewer crates or cases to each trade show you attend.  Less weight for your display equals less packaging and shipping, which equals less of an investment without sacrificing the efficiency of your display.

2. Hybrid Displays Offer Countless Accessories

It’s impossible to count or summarize the accessories that are available when you choose a hybrid display.  Accessories that can be added to your exhibit include workstations, shelves, iPad options, lights, pegboards, monitors, etc.  Anything you need to make your exhibit better at selling and displaying your service or product can be found when you choose a hybrid display for your exhibit needs.

3. Hybrid Displays Offer Versatile Graphic Options

With a hybrid display, your graphics can range from towering fabric images to smaller graphics.  Use direct prints, custom acrylics, laminates, vinyl, or fabric with your hybrid display and the graphics you use.  With a hybrid display, you open up a whole new world of options for eye-catching graphics at every trade show you attend.

4. Hybrid Displays Are Structurally Strong

Hybrid displays offer the easy assembly of a newer model, without sacrificing the flexibility and strength of the classic display.  Hundreds of profiles are available, and each offers a unique function, visual, or design appeal.  Whatever you have in mind for your trade show exhibit, you can turn into a reality when you choose a hybrid display.

5. Hybrid Displays Can Be Taken Anywhere

When choosing your display for any trade show, you must consider the portability of the exhibit you are designing.  If you can’t transport it easily, you can’t use it effectively.  Hybrid displays are easily transported anywhere, and can be easily set up within thirty minutes.  This makes for an easier and less stressful exhibit experience for all involved, and doesn’t even include the lowered costs the company will see without the additional shipping and handling for the trade show exhibit.  If your company has been paying a professional to set up and transport your exhibit for you, you can quickly erase that expense with a hybrid display, as any of your exhibitors can easily move and assemble your new exhibit.

6. Hybrid Displays Are Modular

Your needs will change based on the trade show or exhibit you are attending.  The benefit of hybrid displays is that they can easily be adjusted to modify the size to fit exactly what you need for each show you attend.  Once the display is modified, it’s simple to reassemble, and this process can be done easily and quickly.  With a hybrid display, you can use the same exhibit for every show you attend, rather than being forced to purchase multiple displays that meet the individual needs of each show.  Your company will see a return quickly with lower costs in exhibit investment with a hybrid display that works for any exhibit or show.

7. Hybrid Displays Are Unique

One of the greatest perks of using a hybrid display is the ability you have to customize the display to meet your exact ideas.  You will never run across another display that is just like yours when you use a hybrid display.  These displays offers a variety of layouts, styles, accessories, and backdrops, and your decisions regarding these factors ensure that your display will be unique from the others.  Your potential customers will notice that you stand out when you have a hybrid display that is customized to fit your desires and needs.

8. Hybrid Display Are Easily Cared For

The fabric that is used in creating a hybrid display is strongly resistant to any type of damage.  This means that your display will look better for a longer period of time.  Again, the investment in a hybrid display will quickly pay off for your company when exhibits do not need to be replaced or fixed in between shows.  This also takes one more thing off your checklist as you are preparing to attend an important exhibit or trade show.

9. Hybrid Displays Are Cheaper To Print

It is much less expensive to print on fabric than any other material.  The savings you can enjoy in printing costs alone make investing in a hybrid display worth the time and effort.  Not only is it less expensive to print, but fabric is lighter than traditional materials, and is cheaper and easier to ship.  Another savings comes into play with lower shipping costs in between shows.

10. Hybrid Displays Can Save You Money

With all of these perks and benefits, it’s simple to see why more companies are choosing hybrid displays as the preferred option for trade show exhibits.  Each of these advantages can be tied into a few simple benefits: your company will save money, attending trade shows will be easier, and your booth will stand out to your potential customers.  In order for your trade show to net the results you want, you need each of these benefits, and hybrid displays offer them to your company in a package that is both attractive and affordable.

Outdoor advertising is a great way to capitalize on earning additional revenue, and is something that big corporations and small business both take part in.  Convention participation is a marketing strategy that that many companies across the country employ to promote their business and bring prospective clients to the table. Getting ready for a convention, however, takes a lot of planning and a dedicated staff of employees who are willing to travel and represent the company.  During the summer months it isn’t uncommon for the event venue to be held in the great outdoors, but if you plan on taking your business outside, there are a few things to consider first:

1. What size of space will I be working from?

The area that you have to work from largely determines the kind of displays and equipment that you can reasonable use.  If you end up reserving a smaller space, don’t think that you can’t make an impressive statement.  Event tents, banner stands, and even executive chairs can be designed to fit your space beautifully and create an impression that won’t soon be forgotten.

2.  What are my outdoor display options?

When an event takes place outdoors, the sky is the limit. If you can dream it, a display company can accommodate for it.  Of course there are lots of options when it comes to outdoor displays, some of the more popular choices that big corporations and small business make include:

• Event Tents.  These can be made to fit a variety of spaces.  Generally they are made in a canopy style fashion which makes them easy to assemble and comfortable to do business in.  Some display companies even make full and half sidewalls so you can divide you space in an attractive and functional way.

• A-Frame Signs.  A frame signs provide a canvas to display important company information and promotional items or services.  The valet style A-frame is usually hinged and built to last, and it provides ad space on two mediums.  A valet A-frame utilizes the long lasting structure of a traditional A-frame, but it is then covered in a commercial grade fabric.  It accepts dyes beautifully and delivers an upscale sign that can be viewed from every angle.

• Banner Stands.  Another sign option is to use the fresh, urban look of banner stands.  These can be erected at outdoor events and then stored away for future use, or attached to electrical light and street sign poles for more permanent advertising.

• Portable Outdoor Flagstands.  A new design for the giant pole, ideal for outdoor events, conference, sport events, etc. The telescopic aluminum flagpole fits into a plastic base that can be filled with water for stability.

3. How long will my displays last?

It may surprise you that displays are made to be used and reused over and over.  It’s not a one-time-use expense, but rather an investment that will last for a number of years.  Displays for both indoor and outdoor events are made from durable materials that are as beautiful as they are functional.

Getting ready for your next outdoor event is easy when you employ the services of a reputable display company.  Plan ahead to ensure the items you want can be made and ready for your next event.

We live in an age of digital marketing. Even if you are participating in an outdoor marketing event, customers expect that technology will be involved somehow. Whether you are looking for a large digital banner to attract customers to your booth from a distance or an iPad bar to create an up close and personal interactive experience, it is important to choose the right monitor for your outdoor displays. It takes just 7 seconds on average for customers to decide if they want to enter a booth at an outdoor event. If you choose the wrong type of electronic display, they just might pass you by. Here are a few tips to help you choose a monitor for your next outdoor tradeshow, festival or other event.

1. Bigger Isn’t Always Better

When choosing a monitor for outdoor or indoor use, it is important to take the size of the booth into consideration. You don’t want the digital signage to overpower your booth. If you have a small booth that measures 10 feet by 10 feet, you may not want to choose 6 foot table top display. This will be overwhelming for the employees manning the both as well as customers passing by. Instead, you could use a narrow digital sign near the front corner of the booth. If you have a 10 x 20 booth, you could enhance the display with serpentine display in the back of the booth that can accommodate a 42” monitor to stream dynamic digital content. The larger your booth the more options you have when it comes to the size and placement of monitors. The key is to keep things in proportion to the size of your booth.

2. Define Your Goals

Digital signage of any type should reinforce your company’s brand in a clear, concise manner. Beyond that, the type of monitor that you choose will depend on what you are trying to accomplish while at the trade show. If you define your goals in advance it will be easier to design your booth and choose the appropriate type of technology.

3.  Look For Viewability

Certain products are difficult to view in direct sunlight. Have you ever tried to look at a smartphone or tablet that doesn’t have a protective finish on it? Usually, all you see is a black screen. When choosing a monitor for outdoor displays, you will want to consider the location of your booth, the amount of sunlight it will receive throughout the day as well as the viewability of the product. Monitors that feature screens with treated glass and are backlit with LED will boast blacker blacks, richer colors and superior viewability.

4. Easy To Clean

Furthermore, monitors for outdoor displays should be easy to clean. Large monitors or digital screens can quickly become dirty when exposed to the elements of nature. Even a small breeze can kick up a large amount of pollen and dirt. You want to be able to keep your display looking pristine at all times. The same holds true for any other electronic equipment in your booth. Interactive iPad counters will be swarming with germs and flaunting fingerprints if they don’t have a disinfectant resistant coating on the screen.
