Advanced Exhibit Methods (AEM) has been helping trade show exhibitors of all sizes create high-impact, attention-getting exhibits for more than 15 years. From 10' pop-ups to 3500 square foot custom modular islands, AEM creates exhibits that stand out and get you noticed.

Our convenient Orange County location enables us to easily service trade shows in the bustling Anaheim, Los Angeles, Long Beach and San Diego Convention Centers, as well as nationwide.

If you are looking for a trade show exhibit that makes a statement look no further than Advanced Exhibit Methods.
Dear Exhibitors:

Today, July 2nd, 227 years ago, the Second Continental Congress declared independence from Britain. However the written version, our Declaration of Independence, was not endorsed until July 4th, which became the famous holiday. Just like in trade shows, the written version of the document becomes more important.

It is almost impossible to have too much paperwork covering your trade show event. Even as more show services are arranged electronically, nothing beats a hard copy when you are negotiating with a service contractor on the show floor. But ordering and maintaining copies of all these orders is time consuming.

You can declare your independence from this paperwork tyranny by letting us do the work for you. There is no need to dump tea in the harbor, just call and we will take over.
Our project administration staff loves Exhibitor Kits. After completing the kit, they create your "ShowBook" which contains copies of all orders, shipping documents, labels and other critical information, enough for even a Stamp Act Commissioner. It will only cost a few Jeffersons to celebrate your independence from this tyranny.

Please enjoy your 4th of July holiday and its parades, barbeques, fireworks and parties. Remember to thank those who allow us to remain independent and free.

Sincerely,

The show is over, and it's time to disassemble your exhibit. Although many think once the last exhibitor leaves the show their job is over, this isn't necessarily the case.

It's always a good idea to have someone from your company (or your exhibit house) supervise the dismantle of the booth, since this is really where caring for your exhibit begins. In our experience, 50% more damages occur in shipping after the show than going to the show. There is a simple explanation--careless packing. Having a representative supervise the dismantle ensures that things are packed properly and your exhibit properties are handled with care.

If you used a smaller exhibit and generally install and dismantle the exhibit yourself, there are a few things to remember as well. If you use a pop-up exhibit with photomural panels, make sure each individual panel goes into it's proper slip sheet. Most pop-up exhibits ship in two cases. The reason for this is to keep your hardware from banging against your graphics during shipping, so take care to make sure that each piece goes into it's correct case.

If you are one of the lucky few who actually get to assemble your own modular exhibit, make sure to take the same care when dismantling your booth. Use slip sheets between panels to avoid

scratches and cracks and make sure your graphics panels are securely packed.

It's always a good idea to get a packing chart from your exhibit house, so you know exactly where each piece should fit into the cases.

Once the exhibit is safely--we hope--returned to your storage space (be it your office, warehouse, or exhibit house), a few things should happen to make sure you'll be in good shape for the next show:
1. Inventory your exhibit. Make sure nothing was lost or broken during shipping.
2. If you have a pop-up, the panels should be stored lying flat. This is the case even for fabric panels to make sure that your magnets don't come off, or your panels don't start to de-lam.
3. Store your exhibit in a cool, dry place. Weather and moisture are a healthy exhibit's worst enemies.
4. If you do see any damages, get them repaired as soon as possible. If you wait until right before your next show, it may be too late to get the parts you need.

These are just a few of the key elements to keeping your exhibit in top shape. Exhibits are an investment, so protect them and they're sure to give you the return that you seek.

No fancy writing on this one--let's just list out the benefits of incorporating exhibit accessories into your trade show program:

1. Change or supplement your existing message without incurring the larger costs of refurbing your booth.

2. Use lit stands throughout your booth to display and distribute your literature in an organized manner while reinforcing your visual message.

3. Retractable banner stands can be used in a number of ways including transforming from a full height banner to a table top banner when needed.

4. Portability--use your banner and lit stands in hospitality suites and meeting rooms. When your done, you can simply pack them up and bring them back to the booth.

5. Use accessories in show and hotel lobbies where you are exhibiting or have a suite. You can even customize these to have arrows pointing the way or write the suite number on the banner.

These are just a few reasons why exhibit accessories can be a very effective tool in your trade show program. The possibilities are endless though.
