Tradeshow Rentals: Growth and Customization Trends

Rental Displays from Classic Exhibits

Right Down the Line
Jim Shelman, GM Classic Rentals

Our exhibit rental business continues to surge. There’s never a dull day in the Classic Rental Division. And that’s what I like about what we do here.

Flexibility and customization has been the key to our continued growth.

If we were limited to a few select “kits” or standard design offerings, it just wouldn’t be the same. But with our flexibility in offering customization to our rental exhibit designs, our days are much more interesting! Customization isn’t limited to large projects. It can be as simple as coming up with a way to connect an iPad holder to a workstation or kiosk. Or working curved headers and towers into a rental design.

Here are four recent rental projects that I’d like to share with you.

I’ve been in this business since rocks were tools, and I still love working with our team on new ideas and solutions for your clients. It’s a lot of fun to watch a concept on paper become a reality on our staging floor and in your customer’s booth.

Please send us your thoughts on new trends that you see with rental exhibits.
