Once you have determined which shows will most likely benefit your organization, careful planning and execution will increase your ROI. Look for different ways to save on shipping, drayage, and labor. ExhibitCraft's consultants recommend investing in practical custom exhibit solutions as well as custom portable displays for that custom look with all the cost-efficient benefits associated with portable displays.

Lean heavily on the experiences of others. Your exhibit supplier should be giving you tips on how to save money on your particular experience. There are so many variables to consider, that there is no single formula to save. Some examples might be:

• Ship to Site or Advanced Warehouse?
• Bring or rent carpet? Tables? Lead retrieval equipment?
• Arrange freight yourself? Or by professionals?
• Purchase show services yourself?
• Supervise by yourself? Or hire a seasoned professional?
