When Should You Buy a

Truss System?

 

Making an investment on a large scale trade show display or truss system is a serious decision. These can be expensive pieces of equipment. Take the Cepheus-2 10′ x 20′ Orbital Truss System as an example (pictured above). A trade show display of that size and stature costs around $12,000! It’s important to keep in mind how mush you expect in your return on investment. If you think you will get $20,000 worth of sales through leads that you gain at a trade show, then purchasing a $12,000 truss system might be a great idea for your company! On the other hand, if you typically don’t gain more than $8,000 in sales leads by attending a trade show, you may want to consider other options. Purchasing an expensive trade show display without already having proven methods of driving sales leads can end up a costly mistake.
