You can get started by asking for recommendations from people in the business or at your office, and by doing online searches.Most well-reputed exhibit companies have websites where you can explore their portfolios, company backgrounds and services.
Also consider going to trade shows in other industries, and if find any booth designs that you particularly like, ask the staff for the name of their exhibit builder.
Here are tips to help you screen different trade show exhibit companies:
Ask how long they’ve been in the business, and know the credentials of the people who are actually going to do the work.
Look at every company’s portfolio of exhibits within different price ranges.
Ask for references from past and present customers.
Know what services they offer in particular, as well as whether they hire subcontractors for any of them.
Have them tell you about their approach towards exhibit development, and pay attention to how attentive they are to the needs of their customers.
Make sure they can meet your timing and budget requirements.
With the answers you receive, trim down your list of options to about two or three, and ask each one for a proposal. In any case, everything should be expressed in detailed written form, particularly the scope of work to be done, when the project can be completed, and its financial requirements.
The moment you’ve picked a trade show exhibit builder, you need to first outline your particular expectations from the design. Important to include are the exhibit’s size and estimated completion date, along with any special requirements you might have, and lastly, your budget.
More details means more chances of getting a an exhibit that is exactly as you want. Certainly, this happens only if the builder truly understands the nature of your business and knows good techniques to promote your products or services with a trade show booth.

An professional display builder, with all their technical knowledge and experience, can probably develop concepts and possibilities that you’ve never considered before. Of course, these pros are not all created equal, and you still have some homework to do before choosing one.
