How to Choose a Reliable Exhibition Stand and Graphics Supplier

How to Choose a Reliable Exhibition
Stand and Graphics Supplier
We know that many marketing managers
and retailers want and need a reliable, economical source for obtaining exhibition equipment such as banner stand displays, retail displays, outdoor event gear and large format printing.
Too often, cheap prices mean no service. So how can you confidently
select a supplier who will stand up to your expectations for quality,
price and service? Here are some questions to ask vendors:

How do you arrive at your pricing?
Believe it or not, we have been told in the past that we’re too cheap!
Clients can't believe that the quality is as good as our competitors
who may charge three times as much for exactly the same equipment. There's
no magic involved in Discount Displays’ pricing. We keep tight control
of our costs, buy in bulk and have a small sales force. The result?
You get a fast reliable service offering quality products (our frames
are backed by a 6 year guarantee) at rock bottom prices. If you
see cheaper prices ask why. How are the graphics printed? What inks
are used? Where is the stand made? Will the graphics have a good fit?
Is the printing in house?
Do you offer a lowest price guarantee?
We keep a close eye on the competition and make a simple promise: If
you find the same product elsewhere for less, prove it and we will beat
it.
Who are your current clients?
Look for a supplier that has consistently been chosen by brands
that demand quality. We have continually been chosen against stiff
competition by the most demanding of clients including many well-known
high street names for major nationwide contracts. (Marks and Spencer,
Thomas Cook, De beers, etc.) as well as local government, Schools and
Charities in the UK and overseas. You can view our full product range
at our Showroom in Croydon.
What warranty do you offer?
You want a supplier that stands behind the product they sell.
Our business has been built over the last 17 years on repeat work so
our stands have to be totally reliable and trouble-free. Our display
equipment is carefully sourced to offer the very best value for money
and durability. Our stand warranty covers manufacturing defects rather
than operator damage.
Do you offer discounts for quantity?

The answer here should be yes. We're unbeatable on large quantities.
A couple of recent projects have included a nationwide delivery of 350
Roll-Up displays for Marks and Spencer and 450 Eco Rollas for Thomas
Cook.
What are your delivery times?
Look for a vendor who has the capability and desire to meet your deadlines.
Unlike many of our competitors, we hold stock so many standard products
are available off the shelf. Customised take a little longer -- about
7 days – but can be provided sooner in some instances.
What quality are your graphics?
You want to be sure your graphics are printed using high quality digital
ink jet technology and the very best branded inks and media (HP and
3M). We print images on 600-micron polyester with a scratch resistant
durable matt laminate seal for a hardwearing finish.
