Get ready to launch with Exhibition Centre Liverpool

At Exhibition Centre Liverpool, we've witnessed countless exhibitions come to life – from intimate art showcases to large-scale business expos. With years of experience in exhibition management, we understand that launching a successful exhibition requires more than just a great idea; it demands careful planning, strategic thinking, and the right support network.

Whether you're planning your first event or looking to launch a new profile, here's our comprehensive guide to launching exhibitions and choosing the right venue partner to help you achieve your goals.

Start with strategic planning 

The foundation of every successful exhibition lies in thorough planning, and at Exhibition Centre Liverpool, we believe in getting this right from day one. Your venue team should work alongside you to ensure no detail is overlooked during these crucial early stages.

Budget planning: Establishing a realistic budget is key to maximising impact while maintaining financial control. Your venue should provide detailed cost breakdowns and identify potential areas for savings without compromising quality.

Venue selection: Your venue needs to work with you to configure our flexible spaces to perfectly suit your exhibition's needs. This shouldn’t be the only focus though – consider venues that offer more than just space. Located in the heart of vibrant Liverpool, our central location means your attendees have additional reasons to visit, from rich cultural offerings to excellent transport links.

Audience targeting: Understanding your audience is crucial, and a good venue partner should be able to help you identify and reach the right people. Our in-house marketing team use an extensive network and local knowledge to connect you with your ideal attendees.

Timing strategy: Calendar management is vital to ensuring your exhibition launches at the optimal time, avoiding conflicts and maximising attendance potential. Your venue partner should be able to guide you through everything from seasonal trends to local events that might impact your success.

The luxury of time that comes from early planning cannot be overstated. It allows us to work together to anticipate challenges and create solutions before they become problems.

Define your purpose

Every exhibition has an end goal, and venues should tailor their support to match your specific aims:

Brand awareness and exposure: For new events and smaller businesses looking to build their reputation, explore the branding opportunities available throughout your venue at key visitor touchpoints. Look to their in-house marketing team to help amplify your message through their established channels and networks, ensuring maximum visibility for your brand.

Sales-focused events: When revenue generation is your primary goal, your venue needs to help create an environment that facilitate business connections. At Exhibition Centre Liverpool we have unique insight into the local business landscape, and can provide spaces optimised for product demonstrations and business meetings.

Experience creation: For cultural and artistic exhibitions, you need to choose a venue that excels at creating immersive environments that captivate visitors. Our flexible spaces can be transformed to showcase artworks, create interactive experiences, and encourage longer engagement times. Liverpool's cultural reputation provides the perfect backdrop for these events.

Industry knowledge

Your venue partner should regularly monitor industry trends and be able to advise on:

  • Popular layout designs that enhance visitor flow
  • Effective marketing channels for their local audience
  • Successful promotional strategies used by similar exhibitions
  • Networking opportunities with local businesses and potential sponsors

Our extensive experience across multiple sectors gives Exhibition Centre Liverpool unique insights into what works. We don't just provide space; we share knowledge that can make your exhibition more successful.

This research phase is where our partnership truly adds value – we bring years of accumulated wisdom to help your exhibition stand out in a crowded marketplace.

Comprehensive promotional support

Even the best exhibitions fail without proper promotion, so choosing a venue with a strong in-house marketing team is key to ensuring your launch creates the buzz it deserves.

Integrated marketing approach: Your venue team is there to amplify your messages and support the development of multi-channel campaigns that reach your target audience effectively.

Social media expertise: You need to choose the right social platforms for your audience, creating engaging content that builds anticipation and drives attendance. Your venue team should understand how different sectors engage online and be able to tailor their approach accordingly.

Local connections: Venues should be experts in local audience engagement. Being rooted in Liverpool for example, gives us access to local media, influencers, and community networks that can amplify your exhibition's reach. We regularly work with regional press and can facilitate valuable PR opportunities.
