Floor Plan Design : Should I Draw a Floor Plan Myself?

One common question we frequently hear is, "Should I create a floor plan on my own?" Let's explore the options.

DIY

With us, you can create your own floor plan for free. This is a great choice for small events or shows, especially if you want to use your floor plan just for exhibitors. Check out our guide on how to design a floor plan here: https://help.expofp.com/en/articles/8370314-how-to-design-a-floor-plan

Professional Design Services

For those with more complex floor plans involving multiple levels and intended for attendee use, our designer services come into play. Starting at $800, the pricing depends on the number of booths. Concerned about costs? Here are two valuable tips:

1. If your event is annual and will be held at the same venue, you can reuse the floor plan for the next year and make changes yourself. So, buying once you can reuse it multiple times.

2. Consider sponsorship options like placing logos in booths or headers. This not only helps cover event tech expenses but also gives you an opportunity to earn extra money.

Choosing our professional design services has many benefits. The resulting floor plan looks polished and aligns seamlessly with the brand guidelines, creating a cohesive brand image—a crucial aspect for big trade shows. Besides looking good, this plan serves to reserve booths, handle payments and makes wayfinding easier. 

Additionally, numerous details contribute to making your floor plan visually appealing. Understanding the fundamentals of User Experience (UX) is essential in selecting elements like a suitable color scheme, background, booth colors, icons and text. Considering the right color combinations and incorporating clear icons and text enhances the overall design. 

Whether you opt for a DIY approach or professional design services depends on the scale of your event and the goal of a floor plan. If you prioritize a more professional look, fast delivery (within 4-7 business days) and an expert touch, contacting ExpoFP for our designer services is the way to go. Your floor plan is not just a layout; it's a crucial element in enhancing the overall event experience.
