FAQ
What Is a Modular Trade Show Booth?
A modular trade show booth is a bit like a building set for ambitious brands.
It is a reusable, scalable, and flexible exhibition structure made of prefabricated modules that can be assembled quickly and adapted to different events.
Moving from a show in Paris to one in Chicago? Expanding your booth space? Updating your message?
No problem. Your booth evolves with your goals and your budget.
At Merci Gustave, we design custom modular trade show booths that tell your story, attract visitors, and showcase your brand—while remaining practical, durable, and environmentally responsible.
Do Your Modular Booths Include Custom Features?
Absolutely.
We work with local partners to design and produce custom elements such as cabinetry, metalwork, 3D-printed features, custom furniture, display cases, and branded experiences that integrate seamlessly into your modular booth.
In fact, this is one of our specialties: combining the flexibility of a reusable modular structure with custom-made features that make your booth unique and tailored to your specific needs.
The result is a booth that reflects your brand, evolves over time, and stands apart from the competition.

Should I Rent or Buy a Modular Trade Show Booth?
There is no one-size-fits-all answer—but a simple rule can help you decide quickly.
Renting a modular trade show booth is usually the best option if:
• you exhibit fewer than 3 times per year
you are attending a one-time event
you are exhibiting far from your usual operating base
Renting helps reduce upfront investment, eliminates storage requirements, and lowers logistics costs.
Purchasing a modular trade show booth makes sense if:
- you exhibit more than three times per year
- you attend trade shows on a regular basis
- you want to adapt and evolve your booth from one event to the next
Owning your booth helps reduce the cost per event, reinforce your brand image, and maximize long-term value.
How Long Does a Modular Trade Show Booth Last?
A high-quality modular trade show booth typically lasts around five years and often much longer when properly maintained.
The modular trade show systems we select at Merci Gustave are:
- Durable and repairable
- Designed to be reused and reconfigured
- Built on systems with long-term parts availability
Another often-overlooked advantage: these systems are widely recognized throughout the industry, helping preserve their resale value on the secondary market.
The result: a booth built to evolve, built to last, and built to deliver value long after a single event.
