Cost Saving Tips

  1. Place your electrical order prior to the advance order deadline date. This date is typically 21-30 days prior to the event date.
  2. Verify that you are ordering the correct amount of power prior to the deadline date. Adding power after that date can be 25-50% more expensive.
  3. Do not assume that you can repeat the previous year’s power order even if your exhibit booth and layout have not changed. Power options vary in different venues. One venue may only offer a single 20-amp 120-volt outlet, while others offer less expensive 5, 10 and 15 amp 120-volt outlets. The same applies to 208-volt outlets.
  4. Always provide a detailed electrical booth layout, with dimensions, orientation and a main drop location in advance to allow the electricians to install the electrical services prior to your arrival. Providing outdated plans, incomplete floor plans or no floor plan will delay installation of your booth and add to your labor cost. If the decorator installs your carpet before the electrical services have been installed, you will incur additional costs and delays to have your carpet removed, the electrical services installed and the carpet replaced.
  5. Labor rules vary by venue. Review the labor rules for your show and make sure you are scheduling and budgeting the correct labor to perform the work required for your exhibit. Changes at show site can be costly.
  6. Utilize LED lighting in your exhibit. LED lighting utilizes much less power. Keep in mind that many convention centers do not allow halogen light fixtures.
  7. A credit card is required to have on file prior to work being performed in your booth. Not having a credit card on file may delay your installation and increase your costs.
  8. Pre-wire any equipment that requires a 208-volt service or higher to match the plug configuration of the electrical provider. Many times, we will have an adapter that would eliminate the need to invest in a new plug. Please call for availability.
