The six things an all-in price must cover
- The booth: walls, counter and the furniture shown.
- Graphics: printed from your files for every wall and the counter front.
- Labor: install before opening and teardown after closing, by union crews where the venue requires it.
- Delivery and return: shipping to the show and back.
- Drayage: the show contractor moving your booth from the dock to your space and back, billed by weight.
- Power: the electrical order for the booth's lights and screens.
If any of these is missing from a quote, it will be billed separately, usually after the show.
Words that hide extra bills
Read the quote for these phrases:
- "Labor not included" or "labor estimated": install and teardown hours will be billed later.
- "Drayage at cost" or "material handling billed separately": the show contractor's weight-based charge comes on top.
- "Electrical to be ordered by exhibitor": you place and pay the power order yourself.
- "Freight estimate": shipping can change.
A real all-in price has none of these. At BoothJet the price at checkout is the final price.
What is never included, by anyone
Some things belong to the show, not the booth:
- Your space on the show floor.
- Exhibitor badges beyond those included with your space.
- Internet, lead retrieval scanners, sponsorships and catering.
- Travel and hotels.
No booth company can sell these, so no booth company should add a margin to them.
Extras are all-in too
Screens, lit logo signs, furniture and other extras should follow the same rule: delivered, installed, powered and picked up, for one price. At BoothJet wall-mounted screens start at $350. See every extra on each booth page, and the full price list in what a booth rental costs.
Questions
Is union labor included in an all-in booth price?
It should be. At BoothJet union install and teardown are included, and where the show's official contractor must be paid for labor, we order and pay it.
Is the booth space included?
No. You book the space with the show organizer. The booth company supplies everything that stands on it.
Is sales tax included?
Sales tax is added for the show's state and shown before you pay.
