What Our Clients Say

FAQ

After all, even the Eiffel Tower is a modular construction: here is the essential information to help you design your booth on a solid foundation.

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.

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.

1. Flexible, Reusable, and Built to Last

1. Flexible, Reusable, and Built to Last

Your modular trade show booth adapts to different floor plans, marketing messages, and event formats without starting from scratch each time.

Reuse the structure, update the graphics, avoid unnecessary production: less waste, lower costs, and a smarter approach to exhibiting.

2. Visual Impact That Stands Out

In a crowded trade show environment, capturing attention quickly is essential.
Our designers create high-impact trade show booths using large-format graphics printed on premium tension fabric displays.
Your brand gets noticed—and remembered.

3. The Right Modular System for Your Goals

At Merci Gustave, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all system. We select the best modular trade show systems available based on:

  • Your Goals
  • Your Technical Requirements
  • How Often You Exhibit
  • Your Target Markets (France, USA, Canada)

The result: a trade show booth tailored to your specific needs.

4. Easy Installation, Simplified Logistics

Our booths are designed for fast and efficient installation.
More importantly, we work with trusted local partners on both sides of the Atlantic.

Less long-distance shipping, lower logistics costs, and reliable on-site execution.

5. Cost Control, International Support

A modular trade show booth is designed to pay for itself over multiple events.

Purchase, rent, or combine both options—we build the smartest solution for your budget and event strategy.

With our French and North American expertise, you benefit from a single point of contact who understands both markets and supports you every step of the way.

We provide everything you need to make your trade show booth welcoming, functional, and memorable:

  • LED Lighting
  • Displays and Multimedia Solutions
  • Reception Counters
  • Tablet stands
  • Contemporary Furniture (chairs, tables, stools, and more)
  • Brochure racks
  • And yes, we can even add plants 🪴

Need a specific feature or accessory? We’ll create it for your project.

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.

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.

At Merci Gustave, we believe in curated solutions, not endless catalogs.
