Hints and Tips

With Aldi and Lidl opening stores across Australia and giving the traditional grocery stores a run for their money, is there really any room for a third grocery discounter?

German retail company, Schwarz Group, has plans to bring the hypermart chain Kaufland to Australia.

Kaufland has seen success in Eastern Europe with more than 1,230 stores and has a strategy similar to Lidl and Aldi but sells branded products as well as its’ own discount merchandise.

Data capture and following up on leads from an exhibition or trade show has never been easier. No longer do you need reams of paper to collect names, phone numbers and email addresses as it’s all captured on a tablet and sent straight to your database, ready for you or your sales team to follow up on.

Whether you are planning a stand for an exhibition, a retail pop-up space or an experiential marketing campaign, it’s imperative you consider all aspects of the build. People tend to focus on the stand itself, which is understandable, but the flooring is often something that gets overlooked by inexperienced operators.

Most companies will have a logo  – a logo that customers can instantly recognise. A logo design can be made up of different elements; whether it’s the colour, the font or an image, this is what depicts your brand.

Every day our clients send us artwork to be printed.  These files come in all styles and sizes, but unfortunately not all files arrive print-ready!

We’ve been building exhibition stands for many years and we work with marketing managers and business owners who understand the importance of their brand, and delivering a consistent brand experience at every touchpoint.

We’ve been creating exhibition stands for clients for over 15 years and in that time we’ve seen some sights! Here’s five things we suggest you never do at your next exhibition.

It still comes as a surprise to us that many people have not heard of experiential marketing.

Many get it confused with event marketing, which is understandable given experiential campaigns do tend to be event-centric and both share the same face-to-face elements. 

One of the major factors in any purchasing decision is price. We all know that everyone likes to think that they got a bargain. So, in any promotion, pricing is an important part. Firstly, you need to decide what the perceived value of the item is and then what consumers will be willing to pay for it.

Sometimes looks can be deceiving, and it’s only when you are actually up close and personal  that you realise the thing you think you are looking at is in fact something completely different.
