Skyline's Contribution to Environmental Sustainability

Skyline contributes to environmental sustainability by providing lighter weight modular exhibits, and by minimising the impact on the environment from our manufacturing operations.

Reduce With Skyline

Skyline designs and develops exhibits that do not cause unnecessary waste of materials due to short life, poor design, inefficient construction and manufacturing processes. Skyline uses one third of the materials of traditional custom exhibits.

Skyline products also ship in much less space than traditional custom exhibits, helping to save energy and reduce greenhouse gas emissions during the life of the exhibit.

Reuse with Skyline

Clients purchasing Skyline exhibits can use their systems over and over again; and all of our exhibit systems allow for varying configurations; changing designs with the same components. Skyline also has a large inventory of rental systems that can be used for a show, sent back and used again. Each option optimizes the life cycle of our systems.

Recycle with Skyline

Many of our structural exhibit systems are recyclable metal. When our own rental inventory is damaged beyond refurbishment and repair, we recycle the metal exhibit system pieces.

Exhibition Tips and Tricks

Booth Staffing Tips: Take Trade Show Seriously

A trade show display or exhibit is a serious representation of your company′s brand, business philosophy, quality and heart.

  • Put your best people in the booth. This is not time to break in rookies.
  • Tell your staff about the event goals, the expectations and the ground rules.
  • Know who your key customers are in advance. Be prepared to engage them.
  • Know who the hottest prospects are in advance. Prepare your staff to handle questions and concerns and to be alert to opportunities. Above all, teach them to listen to customers and prospects.
  • Even small displays can be classy expressions of your organisation. Pay attention to detail, avoid clutter, and use graphics effectively (remembers exhibits are like billboards and need to read and understood easily and quickly) and realise when people stop, they want to talk to you.
