Information for Stand Design: Client Checklist
An exhibition stand is not just a structure made of wood, metal, and banners. It is the face of your company at the event – a business card that should immediately attract attention and tell the story of your brand without words.
We often see that clients who take part in exhibitions for the first time do not know where to start: what information to collect, what materials to prepare, and what details to consider before ordering a stand. That is why we prepared this article. Here we explain all the important points step by step. It will be useful not only for new exhibitors but also for experienced participants – even those who attend exhibitions regularly may overlook something. Check this checklist carefully: maybe you are missing a detail.
Basic Company and Exhibition Data
Let’s start with the simple but important information:
- Company name and contact person – so we can quickly coordinate all details.
- Phone number and e-mail – for fast communication.
- Exhibition name and location – the type of event and venue matter.
- Dates of the exhibition and deadline for design approval – to prepare the stand on time without stress.
These details may look obvious, but they set the rhythm for the whole project.
Stand Parameters
This is the “skeleton” of the future project:
- Area, number of floors, height, length/depth – basic dimensions that define the architecture.
- Type of stand: island, semi island, or corner.
- Approximate budget – helps us choose the right materials and solutions.
The clearer the limits, the faster designers can propose realistic options.
Construction Elements
Floor, podium, lighting, number of counters – all these details create atmosphere and make the stand functional.
- Floor covering: carpet makes it cozy, laminated panels add a strict look.
- Podium and lighting – highlight key exhibits.
- Information counters: number and special features.
- Suspensions – for banners or lighting equipment.
Functional Zones
Think about the people who will visit your stand. Also consider details that may not be obvious at first:
- Meeting areas – for business discussions.
- Storage rooms – for materials and equipment.
- Exhibits and the key element of the stand – the main attraction.
- Multimedia – screens, projectors, interactive panels.
- Flowers and decoration – create atmosphere and leave a strong impression.
Brand Visual Identity
Here is where the magic begins. To make the stand “speak” your brand language, we need:
- Logos in vector formats (PDF, CDR) – for high quality printing and scaling.
- Corporate colors according to RAL palette – to match your brand book.
- Slogans and images for posters – to strengthen brand communication.
- Brand book or style guide – to keep a consistent visual language.
Without these elements, the stand may lose individuality and look like “just another booth.”
Additional Materials
- Pavilion plan – to consider the stand’s position relative to entrance, visitor flow, and neighbors.
- Reference examples – photos of your past stands or designs you like.
- Preferences for style, colors, and materials – so the design reflects your company’s personality.
Conclusion
To create a stand that attracts clients and promotes your brand (not just decoration), the client should prepare:
- logos and corporate colors,
- stand parameters and budget,
- materials for visual design,
- preferences for style and atmosphere.
We always say: the more information you give us at the start, the fewer surprises you will face at the end. The result will be a stand that works for your brand and draws the attention of visitors.
