Trade Show Marketing Blog

MODdisplays offers a wide selection of high quality trade show exhibits, but our commitment to customer service sets us apart from other online display retailers. The unique approach taken by our sales staff as well as our graphic designers is intended to create the best possible experience for our valued clients. Here are just a few examples of our commitment to customer service:

• When you contact MODdisplays, your call will always be answered by a trained, experienced trade show marketing professional. Many companies direct you to a call center where your questions are fielded by inexperienced operators. Our sales personnel have hands on experience with attending and exhibiting at trade shows, and they spend every day working to create better exhibiting experience for our clients. Our sales personnel do not work on commission, so there is no need to worry about being manipulated by a pushy salesperson. Our goal is your exhibiting success.
• To the best of our knowledge, MODdisplays is the only company in the industry that offers free graphic design. Our in house graphic design team spends every day working with exhibit graphics, and that experience means that they understand what it takes to make your display look great. We never outsource your design project to unqualified freelancers, every product is independently handled by a graphic designer that is specifically assigned to your project based on your company type and your needs.
• To the best of our knowledge, MODdisplays is the only company in the industry that offers free custom renderings and exhibit design. Our rendering team allows our clients to see exactly what their exhibit will look like before they agree to purchase, and we can’t figure out why anyone would buy an exhibit if they’ve never seen an image of the finished product.
• MODdisplays offers a price matching guarantee, which means that we will beat any written estimate. As one of the largest online retailers, our massive purchasing power ensures that we receive the best prices around, and we always pass our savings along to our customers. If you receive a quote from one of our competitors, we will happily beat their price and include all of our free services (graphic design, custom renderings) at no cost to you.

To speak directly with one of our experienced sales representatives, call 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com.

MODdisplays specializes in custom-looking trade show exhibits made entirely from stocked exhibit hardware. Our extensive line of aluminum hardware and accessories allows our exhibit designers to create spaces that are tailored to the needs of your company without the expensive design fees associated with custom exhibit houses. Our graphic design and exhibit design services are available at no cost, and our trained professionals have years of experience creating effective trade show booths.

MODdisplays can offer much faster turnaround times and lower prices than typical custom exhibit houses because all of our display components are stocked at various warehouses scattered across the United States. Surprisingly, the ability to fabricate custom parts for your exhibit adds very little additional functionality. In short, we can create almost anything that a custom exhibit house can create, but at a much cheaper cost and a much quicker turnaround time. Once the design of your exhibit is complete, all that’s left is to pull your hardware components off the shelf and print your graphics.

If you have a quote from a custom exhibit house that seems unreasonable, let MODdisplays take a look to see if there is anything we can do to reduce your costs or speed up your turnaround time. Our friendly, knowledgeable industry professionals are standing by to help. Call 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com for more information.

MODdisplays is pleased to announce the launch of our new graphics upload system, which is 200% faster and much more reliable than our previous system. As always, we are able to process files as large as 2GB through our upload system, and all of our files are reviewed and processed by our team of in-house graphic designers. Unlike many companies, our graphic designers spend their days working with large format trade show graphics, and they specialize in providing quality output for exhibiting systems.

Our new graphics upload system makes use of a server that is specifically formatted to accept large file transfers, which ensures that your file is uploaded quickly and smoothly. If you have questions about our file upload system or our graphics requirements, please call 877.663.3976 and press 2 for graphics, or email graphics@moddisplays.com.

Most exhibitors start out with table top displays and progress to larger exhibits as their trade show marketing program picks up steam. In the past, floor displays were cost-prohibitive to many companies, but today there are many inexpensive options that allow small businesses to move immediately into 10′ x 10′ spaces. These options allow exhibitors to make a big impact on a small marketing budget, making their trade shows more profitable than ever before. Take a look at a few of the affordable options we offer below:

Standard Retractable Banner Stand Wall - $597 (includes graphic design)

OneFabric 10ft Curved Display - $895 (includes graphic design)

Waveline displays are the most exciting trade show exhibit system to hit the market in a long time. Although they look a lot like popup displays, Waveline booths offer a lot more value for a much lower price. We are excited about the customer feedback we have received so far, and we believe that these displays will help exhibitors make the most of their trade show marketing budget. We are proud to offer a system that offers a number of advantages over traditional trade show displays, such as…

1- Waveline displays are the most affordable 10ft displays available. Purchasing an entire 10ft display with complete graphics for $845 was unheard of until now. Since Waveline units cost less than many tabletop displays, exhibitors are able to move up to bigger and more exciting venues and do more with their marketing budget.

2- The graphics for Waveline displays are produced using the latest technology in large format printing. Every Waveline display is produced using a process called dye sublimation. This process creates a durable, machine-washable fabric graphic that is guaranteed never to wrinkle or fade for as long as you own your exhibit. Dye sublimation graphics are simply better than the graphics you would receive with a traditional popup display.

3-  Setup takes less than 5 minutes. Assembling a Waveline display is very easy. The frame of the display is made from lightweight aluminum tubing that is shock-corded together for easy assembly, and the fabric graphic fits over the frame like a pillow case to create a smooth, curved wall. A sales person working alone could put together then entire exhibit with no stress at all.

As with all of our trade show displays, MODdisplays provides detailed graphic templates that make designing your exhibit a breeze, or you can let us design your exhibit for you at no charge. Every Waveline display comes with detailed setup instructions that are easy to follow, and those can be found on our website as well. If you have any doubts that this is the most exciting new trade show booth to hit the market in years, call our helpful staff at 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com.

MODdisplays is proud to introduce the Waveline system, our most affordable 10ft. trade show display yet. Starting at only $745, Waveline exhibit packages offer the same look and feel as traditional popup displays, but without the expensive price tag.

The structure of Waveline displays is made from durable 1-1/4″ aluminum tubing. No tools are required in the setup process, and the entire system can be set up in as little as 5 minutes.

Instead of traditional popup display panels, the Waveline uses dye sublimated fabric to stretch over the structure of the exhibit. The fabric is durable, washable, and wrinkle-resistant, and closes firmly using a zipper system.

Typical popup display accessories are available such as case to counter systems and overhead lighting. Purchasing a full-featured 10′ x 10′ Waveline booth will cost as little as $1,195. The quality of the Waveline display is unmatched in its pricing category.

MODdisplays is proud to announce the release of Alumalite Lineare exhibits. This unique system will compliment our already successful line of classic Alumalite displays. Every Lineare system we sell comes complete with a hinged, backlit header system and reflector panels to create a powerful graphic presence on the top of your booth. Instead of using feet (like the classic Alumalite displays), the Lineare uses returns on both ends of the exhibit for a more finished look.

In addition to traditional Alumalite accessories (such as monitor mounts, literature holders, and product shelves), there are a number of new accessories available with the Lineare system. The counter systems have been completely redesigned for a more sleek look and easier packaging, and the side panels can be customized with slatwall, which is perfect for hanging products or promotional items.

The basic structure of the Lineare exhibit system ships in two rotomolded, wheeled cases that are 51″w x 35″l x 15″h and weigh 150lbs. The entire system can be set up using only the tools provided, which means your company can save a lot of money on labor at your next event without sacrificing the look of a unique, custom trade show booth.

If you have questions about the Alumalite Lineare, please contact our helpful staff at 877.663.3976 or email sales@moddisplays.com.
