  1. The official supplier isn't your only option.

    If you're exhibiting at a show that uses a traditional shell scheme, you've probably been pointed toward the official graphics supplier. Their prices are high, their graphics are typically single-use, and there's rarely a conversation about what you actually need.

    There's a better way.

  1. Why this is worth doing properly

    Spending money on graphics when your stand space already cost a fortune might feel like the last thing you want to do. Here's why it's actually the most important thing.

    • Visitors decide whether to stop at your stand in around 3 seconds - based almost entirely on what it looks like. A blank or tired shell scheme doesn't give anyone a reason to stop.
    • Stand design accounts for up to 52% of visitor stop rate - it's the single biggest variable you can control on the show floor. (UFI / Exhibitor Magazine)
    • 81% of trade show attendees have buying authority. They came to find a solution. Your job is to give them a reason to stop and talk. (CEIR)
    • Getting a face-to-face meeting via a trade show lead costs around £96. Getting the same meeting through field sales costs around £820. Every conversation you don't have at the show is an expensive one to have later. (CEIR)
    • 45% of attendees only go to one show per year. If they walk past your stand, you might not get another chance for 12 months.

    Good graphics don't just look nice. They're the mechanism that turns your floor space investment into actual conversations - and conversations into business.

  1. Ready to ditch the shell scheme altogether?

    Shell scheme graphics are a smart, cost-effective upgrade - but if you're exhibiting regularly, there comes a point where a bespoke modular stand starts to make more sense.

    A modular stand build gives you:

    • Complete control of your space - no frame to work around, no constraints on layout or height
    • A stand that's entirely yours - designed around your brand, not a standard shell scheme box
    • Total reusability - the same stand, reconfigured for different floor sizes and show types
    • A premium presence - the kind of stand that stops people before they've even read a word

    It sounds like a big leap. In practice, for companies exhibiting three or more times a year, a modular build typically pays for itself within two events.

    Our modular builds start from £3,500 and are designed and built around your specific brief. There are a lot of variables — size, configuration, graphics, lighting, storage — so we price each one individually.

    If you're curious whether it makes sense for where you are now, just ask. No hard sell - we'll give you an honest steer.
