Trade fairs often involve a considerable marketing investment by participating companies. Costs include space rental, design and construction of trade show displays, telecommunications and networking, travel, accommodations, and promotional literature and items to give to attendees. In addition, costs are incurred at the show for services such as electrical, booth cleaning, internet services, and drayage (also known as material handling). Consequently, cities often promote trade shows as a means of economic development. Exhibitors attending the event are required to use an exhibitor manual or online exhibitor manual to order their required services and complete any necessary paperwork such as health and safety declarations.

Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing and managing a number of different resources in order to bring about the successful completion of specific project goals and objectives. The primary challenge of project management is to achieve all of the project goals and objectives while honouring the preconceived project constraints. Typical constraints are scope, time and budget. The secondary—and more ambitious—challenge is to optimize the allocation and integration of inputs necessary to meet pre-defined objectives. Scan Display’s team includes project management experts who will help put your campaign together. Our highly trained team of professionals will design and deliver a powerful and eye-catching display for your campaign. It will be delivered on time and we guarantee satisfaction.

The whole point of taking part in a trade fair or exhibition is to increase your client base and make new contacts within your section of the industry. In order to do this you have to attract potential clients to your display stand. No-one is going to want to even come near your display if it’s a drab affair. Your presence has to be announced loud and clear for all to see – they must be attracted by what they see and they must want to see a little more. The key thing is the design of your display stand – it has to be eye-catching and it has to pull in the crowds. The best way of achieving this is to have a company such as Scan Display as your partner – a company that knows the exhibition world backwards and who can take over the design and construction of your stand from start to finish.

Scan Display has launched a range of Retail Merchandising Units (RMU’s) specifically designed to allow retailers to capitalise on previously unusable space within shopping centres.
Scan’s Retail Merchandising Units are manufactured locally in partnership with SddRETAIL UK, who have received numerous awards for design excellence. This new partnership therefore offers South African retailers international design at local manufacture prices.
Shopping centres
“Many large shopping centres have areas which are not utilised to their fullest potential. These architecturally unique, compact yet stylish RMU’s allow retailers to rent out this space, creating additional retail revenue,†explains Justin Hawes, MD of Scan Display.
Small traders
“Scan’s RMU’s also create an opportunity for smaller traders, who do not need a large shop floor area, to get into shopping centres. This in turn stimulates the growth of small businesses,†says Hawes.
Features
RMU’s are special-purpose retail kiosks that distinguish themselves from the usual retail carts by eliminating the customary wagon wheels and adding retail fixtures and shelving, special lighting as used in traditional merchandising, and additional security features.
They are portable and can be designed to complement the unique architecture of the location or brand identity.
To demonstrate the versatility of these flexible merchandising solutions, SddRETAIL UK recently conceptualised a RMU design specifically with the 2010 Soccer World Cup in mind. (See attached picture).

Scan Display, in partnership with Modulbox Germany, is now manufacturing the innovative Modulbox system locally. Scan will be launching the system at the upcoming Markex Jhb show, where it will be used to create the company’s stand.
Scan Display MD, Justin Hawes, says, “This modular ‘stand-in-a-box’ exhibition and retail solution won the innovation award at Europshop 2005 and was in the limelight when 10 Modulbox units toured 21 cities in Germany in the lead-up to the 2006 Soccer World Cup.â€
 
 
Roadshows
Modulbox is perfect for roadshows, allowing companies to create a portable branded showroom that can be taken around the country to wherever their customers are. This makes it a cost-effective way to communicate with a widespread audience.
Exhibitions
Each Modulbox can be custom-designed to a client’s specifications. They are easy to set up, making them ideal for events and exhibitions.
“Within the exhibition industry we have noticed that set-up times are becoming shorter and shorter. The Modulbox is therefore the ideal solution for exhibitors as it is in essence a portable exhibition stand which means the set up on site is very quick,†says Hawes.
By manufacturing the Modulbox locally, rather than importing the units, Scan is able to ensure that prices are kept competitive in relation to conventional exhibition stands.
Local manufacture also boosts skills development in the industry and Scan has plans to export these units in the future.
