Exhibition Booth Design and Management Learning from Failures Success often comes from learning from past failures. We’ve seen many mistakes made by both Japanese and foreign companies when setting up exhibition booths in Japan. By understanding these failures, we can determine the best practices for foreign companies exhibiting in Japan. Here are some common pitfalls and tips for creating a successful exhibition booth.
Overcoming the Language Barrier
English and Japanese differ significantly in grammar and pronunciation, making communication challenging. Many Japanese people often struggle with speaking English while they read English. Therefore, having people in a booth who can explain products and technologies in Japanese in a booth is more effective way.
Even though more Japanese people have lived abroad and communication has improved, many still prefer traditional Japanese interactions. Using simple phrases like “Hello” and “Thank you in Japanese,” along with exchanging business cards in the Japanese style, can enhance communication and likability.
Creating Appealing Designs
Japanese aesthetics favor simplicity and sophistication. Flashy or overly individualistic designs may not be well-received. For technology-related exhibits, a simple yet appealing design, such as a nature-inspired or futuristic look, is less likely to fail.
When it comes to characters, Japanese comic (Manga）and animation offer insights into popular styles. Japanese audiences often prefer cute, deformed characters. Incorporating these elements into your design can make it more appealing. It’s advisable to involve Japanese designers for character creation and panel designs to ensure cultural compatibility.
Ensuring Thorough Preparation
Insufficient preparation can make your exhibits unappealing. Planning in advance is crucial, including marketing, promotion, companion arrangements, training, novelty arrangements, design, printing, and installation. Missing any of these aspects can diminish the exhibition’s effectiveness.
Companion training is particularly important. Untrained companions may struggle to communicate and explain exhibits properly, rendering the effort ineffective.
Proposing Optimal Exhibition Booth Design and Management Plans
Modern Co., Ltd. conducts thorough preliminary research based on the type of exhibition and the industry of the exhibiting company. This helps us determine the best exhibition booth design and produce necessary panels, pamphlets, and commodities.
We design exhibition booths to attract public attention and arrange exhibits effectively. We also produce movies for display on monitors. By understanding visitor characteristics, we dispatch appropriate companions and provide them with necessary training. Additionally, we promote the event through various media channels to increase visitor numbers.
Maximizing your exhibit’s impact requires efficient allocation and management of limited time and resources.
