It seems like these days with the economy crisis that a lot of exhibitors are looking for the cheapest trade show displays they can find. The problem with this is that a lot of companies will find that in the long run they will spend more money on maintenance and upkeep on the cheap display than they would have originally spent on a high quality trade show display.
However if you must go cheap we recommend you go with a low price banner stand. The reason is simple, there is little hardware that comes along with a retractable banner stand and tension fabric banner stand. The chances of having to do maintenance on a banner stand are much slimmer than on a pop up display or truss display system. Two products that we recommend that give you a good bang for your buck are the Pacific Banner Stand and the Orient Banner Stand. Both products have a low price tag and carry a one year warranty.
