Choosing the right exhibition stand hire partner can make or break your presence at a trade show or event. But not all providers offer the same level of service, flexibility, or support – which is why it pays to ask the right questions upfront.
If you’re preparing for an event, here are five key questions to ask your exhibition stand supplier – and why they matter.
What’s Included in the Stand Hire?
Don’t assume all stand hire packages are equal. Some include lighting, flooring, or basic furniture, while others leave those as extras. Knowing exactly what’s included will help you budget properly and avoid surprises.
At Parkes, we provide transparent quotes with clear inclusions, so you always know what to expect.
Can the Stand Include Our Custom Branding?
Your exhibition stand should reflect your brand identity. Ask if the stand can be customised with your logo, colours, graphics, and messaging.
Good news: All our stands are custom branded to align with your visual identity – because we know consistency is key.
Who Handles Setup and Breakdown?
Event days are busy enough without having to worry about construction. A professional provider should offer installation and breakdown as part of the service, giving you peace of mind from start to finish.
At Parkes, we take care of the logistics – so you can focus on your team and your audience.
Do You Have Examples or References We Can See?
A reliable supplier should be able to show you past projects and share testimonials from happy clients. This helps you judge the quality of work and the level of service.
We’re proud of our track record – and happy to show you examples of successful stands we’ve delivered across the UK.
What Happens If Something Goes Wrong on the Day?
It’s worth knowing what support is available if things don’t go to plan. Ask if they offer on-site support or emergency contact on the day of the event.
With Parkes, you get full pre-event support and reliable backup during the event, so you’re never left in the lurch.
Confidence Comes from Clarity
The best exhibition experiences come from clear communication, thoughtful planning, and a partner who’s got your back. At Parkes Print and Design, we make exhibition stand hire simple, stress-free, and fully tailored to your brand.
