2 stands at ILTM
04.12.18
We where happy to build 2 stands this year on ILTM in Cannes. One for a returning customer, wanting the exact same stand as last year and a new client already exhibiting on ILTM Asia and wanting to have a copy of that stand here in Cannes.
The stand for Scenic Cruises was a 3x3 in wood colour and black with transparent furniture not to block the stand. The White VIlla's stand was a copy of last year only the dimensions changed to 2,50 x 3,60.
As you can see, both clients have a completely different look. If you are exhibiting at ILTM and are you looking for a custom stand solution to stand out from the crowd, talk to your local stand builder in Cannes, Nice & Monaco, CannesExpo. We have affordable custom solutions starting from €345 per square metre turn-key. Contact us to find out more!

5 Benefits Of Using A Local Exhibition Stand Design & Build Company
26.11.18
CannesExpo provides a full service exhibition stand design, construction and assembly of semi-custom stands for a fixed price of €345 per square meter all inclusive (this means that you don’t have to worry about a thing. We specialise in small stands in our own area and have no interest in the big projects as we believe there are enough big boys out there that do a great job. But they do not show enough love to smaller space only exhibitors. We aim at filling the gap between shell-scheme and full custom build without falling back to a modular system. So if you are planning to exhibit with a 6m2 to 27m2 space only stand, contact us for a bespoke solution for €345 per m2 all inclusive. We can help.
GEOGRAPHY
Simply, picking a design and build company that is near the venue will reduce the amount of miles your exhibition stand has to travel. In addition to reducing your carbon footprint there are also a number of great advantages in knowing the city of the exhibition venue. For example, the best hotels located near the venue, where to eat out, where to get last-minutes supplies, how to get emergency graphics printed, and much more.
Ideally situated just outside Cannes, we are less than 30 minutes away from Cannes and less than an hour from Nice and Monaco. We regularly manage projects at all the major venues across the French Riviera, which means that we have specialist knowledge of the venues in this area and very likely recent experience about exhibiting there. Having people on the ground who can give you answers to all the questions you have about a venue or city you’ve never exhibited at before is invaluable.
MULTILINGUAL TEAM
You should strive to select an exhibition partner that has a multilingual team. While English remains one of the most widely spoken languages in Europe, in France it is really appreciated if you speak French. It helps you a lot for getting things done. At CannesExpo, we understand the need to be able to communicate with everyone in the supply chain when it comes to delivering a project. At CannesExpo, we speak English, French, and Dutch, so we can communicate easily with clients, organisers and on-site suppliers. This ensures that everything will be handled smoothly and on time.
UNDERSTANDING LOCAL LAWS, CUSTOMS & REGULATIONS
When exhibiting in France it is important to adhere to the often strict health and safety laws that apply to building a temporary structure. It is important to have an understanding of the etiquette and culture of the event organisers and key suppliers. We have many years of experience building to these standards, and we keep up-to-date with new legislation. We also have many international clients who rely on us to ensure that any collateral sent from their home country is processed in the correct way to guarantee a speedy transit through customs and import processes.
COST
In addition to your carbon footprint and managing logistics it is a much more cost-effective solution to use a local contractor to exhibit in Cannes, Nice or Monaco to reduce transportation/shipping costs. It is important to find a partner that is close to the venues to decrease travel and labour costs. It just saves a lot of money if your contractor doesn’t need to book, flights, hotels etc.
PRINT LOCAL
Sometimes it’s just not cost-effective or to time consuming to print your marketing materials and ship them to the South of France. In a lot of cases it’s just simpler to produce them locally. CannesExpo offers a print service for brochures, business cards, but also for banner displays, beach Flags , vinyls and foam board. We can offer emergency print service if needed and are able to deliver directly to your stand in Cannes, Nice & Monaco.
CONCLUSION
Whether you are already exhibiting in Cannes, Nice or Monaco or looking to do so for the first time, it is essential that you engage the services of a local stand design and build team in order to ensure the optimal return on your investment. CannesExpo recognises the importance of quality and assurance, and we will be happy to discuss your requirements.

Print work for MIPM
08.03.18
So you are based in Australia and exhibiting at MIPM in Cannes. What is the most effective way to get your printed brochures on the show ??? And you also would like 2 roll-Up Banners on your stand.
In this case the client was smart enough to realise that printing locally was the best solution, so a quick google search later after clicking on the first result shown they came to us. And we had a special offer up for 2 roll-Up Banners for €99. So these where ordered and brochures in French en English in a small quantity (100+400).
"Even with an 11 hour time zone difference and 17,000km between us, organising our event was simple with CannesExpo.
The Brochures and Roll-Up Banners where delivered on the stand the day before the show, photo's of the delivered materials send to the head office in Australia to confirm delivery and create peace of mind. No need to say the client had all the tools needed to have a successful MIPM.
Everybody happy :-)
5 mistakes people make when participating in an exhibition…
09.01.18
Participating in an exhibition is a great way to generate leads and attract customers. A professional stand combined with a good preparation allows you to make contact with dozens of leads, which are looking for your product or service. It will take a lot of effort though. Will you participate in a trade show soon? Don’t make these 5 mistakes!
Participate in the same exhibitions all the time
Maybe you have had lots of success on the same exhibition for many years, but that shouldn’t prevent you from trying something else. Perhaps you can promote a new product to a different audience? Or you participate in moderate exhibitions and it is time for something else? Continue develop and renew your exhibition strategy to maximize your trade show performance!
Information overload
Something we see happening with a lot of exhibition participants: They give too much information. It is good to be enthusiastic but a stand is no department store. You should formulate a clear message that will attract attention. A decision to stop and talk to you is made in a split second, so be clear about what you have to offer and why people should enter your exhibition stand. Don’t try to satisfy everyone!
Bad planning
When you decide to participate in an exhibition it might seem far away, but days fly by quickly though. You should make an extensive, realistic planning and a comprehensive checklist to ensure you got everything ready in time. A professional stand is essential for a good first impression and you want to have your stand ready in time. Even if your exhibition stand is ready in time, you wish to use your valuable time to its fullest. You should make a clear marketing plan describing your goals for every target group and your approach. Make sure to send out invitations to visit your stand and communicate your presence on social media and other publications.
Only have sales people on the stand
The success of your exhibition participation is determined by communication rather than selling. In general visitors come to an exhibition to orientate, not to buy so it’s all about getting leads. Considering that you should create a team of people with good communication skills and enthusiasm who are able to keep a conversation going. And for the more serious or technical questions have one or more people on the stand that know your products/services inside out. And don’t forget that working one or several days in a stand takes a lot of energy. Who has the capacity and remains fresh and motivated? Those are the ones that can make a difference.
Not qualifying leads
The worst thing you can do is forwarding your leads straight to the Sales department. You should make as many notes as possible. Use your Smartphone, the free program Evernote or just an old school lead form. Take a picture of the business card or attach it to the lead form and note everything you can remember about the conversation. You might also use a qualification system for leads. People you definitely wish to talk to again, will get the number 1; other people, you expect only little of, will get a 3. In Evernote you might, if desired, apply tagging, allowing you to filter and contact all number 1 leads afterwards. In combination with your notes your sales team will have plenty of starting points for a good follow-up.
Participating in an exhibition remains an extremely valuable way to make contact with potential customers. Just being there isn’t enough. You will have to work hard to make contact with the right prospects; you will have to follow-up your leads afterwards and, above all, enjoy your presence there. And don’t forget, when the show is over, evaluate within a few weeks so everything is still fresh, and use that to improve for the next show!
