Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Experiential Marketing

How can I best use experiential marketing at an exhibition?

Experiential marketing is all about creating immersive, memorable experiences that engage visitors on a sensory or emotional level. What better place for this than at an exhibition, using print to transform spaces and amplify brand impact?

Large-scale printed backdrops can set immersive scenes for interactive demos, while floor graphics in gamification zones help create themed environments that draw attendees in. Wall wraps and posters in sensory experience areas add depth and context, enhancing the brand’s story. Branded signage and printed props in AR setups can guide users intuitively, blending physical and digital elements. With strategic use of print, your brand can build visually engaging, memorable exhibition booth displays to reinforce your message.

How do NEXT's Eco-Printing Services contribute to a memorable experiential marketing campaign?

Our eco-friendly printing solutions contribute to memorable campaigns by creating visually stunning and tactilely engaging displays that resonate with attendees long after your event. Combining environmentally friendly materials like Re-board®, Dispa, Envirocore and paper with our sustainable green printing processes, we ensure that every piece not only looks incredible but also has a minimal environmental footprint, enhancing the overall impact of your experiential marketing efforts. NEXT has also completed carbon emissions studies for our clients to help demonstrate to customers how their exhibition displays are more sustainable.

How can I ensure my exhibit displays are more sustainable?

To create a truly eco-friendly exhibit display for your next event, focus on using recycled or FSC certified paper, other sustainable printing materials like Re-board®, Dispa and eco-friendly inks. These materials are also recyclable and produce durable displays that can be used more than once, creating a longer life cycle before their permanent disposal.

Are environmentally friendly printing and sustainable materials more expensive than traditional options?

While there’s a common perception that sustainable options are more costly, eco-friendly printing services from NEXT are competitively priced. We leverage efficient technologies and materials to provide cost-effective solutions from production to disposal. Since more consumers now look to buy from eco-conscious brands, investing in sustainable green printing also reflects positively on your brand and potentially leads to greater brand loyalty and customer engagement – which, in turn, generates a better ROI for your exhibition booth display.

Can sustainable printed materials be as vibrant and attention-grabbing as traditional prints?

Absolutely. NEXT’s eco-friendly printing solutions utilise state-of-the-art UV printing technology, ensuring that your sustainable printed materials are just as vibrant and eye-catching as their traditional counterparts.

It also contributes to your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) goals by actively reducing the environmental impact of your events.

How can NEXT's Project Experts help my event become more sustainable?

NEXT project teams opt for materials such as Re-board®, Dispa, Envirocore, and paper, all chosen for their low environmental impact.

Our team of experts then designs and produces bespoke eco-friendly printing solutions tailored to your specific needs, ensuring that every element of your campaign reflects your brand’s identity and engages your target audience effectively.

How can I measure the impact of using environmentally friendly printing in my brand activation campaign?

Measuring impact involves tracking engagement levels, participant feedback, social media mentions, and any increase in brand awareness or sales following the campaign. Additionally, showcasing your use of sustainable printed materials can be a key metric in evaluating customer appreciation for sustainability efforts, which can be gauged through surveys and social media engagement.

Can NEXT provide quick turnaround times for print materials needed for last-minute brand activation campaigns at exhibitions?

Services from NEXT Printing can be seamlessly integrated into this mix by providing QR codes on printed materials that lead to digital experiences or social media platforms, encouraging online engagement. Additionally, sustainable physical branding materials can enhance the tangible aspects of your digital campaigns, creating a consistent brand experience across all channels.
