Trade show display rentals are a good solution for many exhibitors.

They remove the issues of transportation and storage, and allow you to be a little more daring in your exhibit design than you might be if you were purchasing them.

And if you only exhibit once or twice, purchasing your own exhibit components doesn't make economic sense.

If you're a first-time exhibitor, you may want to consider a trade show display rental. As many as 40 percent of first-time show exhibitors never participate in another show. But if you do participate in more shows, many rental companies apply 50 to 100 percent of the approximately rental cost toward your purchase.

Nearly any kind of display, booth, and exhibit component is available for rent. Most trade show display rental companies can provide you with anything from complete booths to a small table top exhibit. And most American rental companies ship anywhere in the U.S.

Trade show display rentals can be customized for your business. Rental companies can help you turn your leased exhibit into an outstanding booth for far less money than you'd spend purchasing the same components.

If you plan to rent your displays, try to reserve your pieces early. As soon as you know the date of your trade show, you should get in touch with the display rental company and discuss what you need and the dates you'll be exhibiting. That way you can be assured of the availability of your trade show exhibit rental.
