One often overlooked aspect of trade show booth design is storage. Having well-planned and strategically placed storage solutions can greatly enhance your booth’s functionality, organization, and overall impact. Let’s look at three simple ways to build storage into your trade show booth, and use the most of your limited space.
1. Know your storage needs
Before the design process, take the time to evaluate your storage requirements. Consider the types of products, promotional materials, and equipment you’ll be bringing to the trade show. Make a list of items that require storage and determine their sizes, quantities, and specific storage requirements. This initial assessment will provide a clear picture of the storage solutions you’ll need to incorporate into your booth. Don’t forget the back packs, jackets, and other items that the booth staff will bring. Include water and snacks in your dimensions as well.
2. Use hidden storage spaces
Your hidden spaces can be placed beneath countertops, behind display panels, or under tables. They provide an easy solution for storing additional inventory, spare supplies, or personal belongings without compromising the visual appeal of your booth. Closets also work great to showcase large graphics, hold TVs, and make perfect storage. Don’t forget the space under your tables as well. A good table cloth can hide a multitude of items.
3. Look at your vertical space
When space is at a premium, don’t forget your vertical storage. Vertical shelving, hanging racks, or wall-mounted organizers can help you take advantage of unused wall space. These solutions provide more storage and keep items off the floor, allowing you to showcase more products or create an open and inviting atmosphere within your booth. This is especially true in closet spaces, shelves mean the floor stays clear.
Building storage into your trade show booth is an important element of booth design that should not be overlooked. By including well-planned storage solutions, you can create a booth that is organized, visually appealing, and showcases your products effectively.
