This paper deals with the question of why companies choose to go on trade fairs and exhibition examines how the media works. The essay's main focus is on stand contractors and why those hired to produce other company stands. The study is based on three interviews, a visit to a trade fair and a questionnaire survey. Together with the relevant literature is given a clear picture of how companies are thinking in their choice of attending the fairs, but also why stand contractors are involved in the process. We concluded that some companies do not know why they participate in fairs and many feel compelled to contribute to not be forgotten in the market. Some of the most important parts of the exhibit is to have a message that reaches out to visitors and potential customers. It is also important to have staff that are committed and understand the company's objective of participation. We even came up to the booth contractors can contribute to a better outcome. Through the resources and experience of the industry development stands to customer requirements and message.

Sammanfattning Mässor förekom som fenomen redan under medeltiden och har allt sedan dess använts som en kanal för försäljning och marknadsföring. Idag tävlar företag och organisationer om mässbesökares uppmärksamhet genom att skapa attraktiva montrar med vinnande koncept som ska locka människor och få dem att lägga företagsnamnet på minnet. Detta är vad Karlstads universitet haft i åtanke då de utformat beskrivningen till detta projekt. Bakgrunden till projektet är att universitetet finns representerat på ett antal mässor varje år, runt om i landet. Uppdraget har således varit att ta fram ett nytt koncept med en tillhörande design till universitetets mässmonter. Syftet med detta projekt är inte primärt att få besökarna att söka till universitetet, utan att de ska minnas det vid eventuell framtida övervägning av vidarestudier. Projektet har utvecklats med hjälp av kvalitativ metodik. Intervjumanualer har utformats för att kunna kartlägga vad kommunikationsavdelningen, studentambassadörer och studievägledare har för åsikter angående monterkoncept. Utifrån informationen som dessa intervjuer gav, skapades en mall över viktiga aspekter att ta till vara på vid utformningen av det nya materialet. Utöver detta har universitetets kommunikationsstrategi studerats och teorier om marknadsföring, varumärke, sinnesmarknadsföring och platser har bearbetats för att skapa ett så bra monterkoncept som möjligt. Resultatet som skapats består av ett koncept med tillhörande trycksaker. Trycksakerna som framställts innefattar bland annat en broschyr, två uppsättningar med roll-ups och en monterbakgrund. Det slutgiltiga konceptet blev ett genomgående sommartema som grundar sig i respondenternas egna associationer och åsikter samtidigt som det anspelar på universitetets huvudfärg som är gul. Känslan som monterns utseende ska förmedla är att man som besökare i montern befinner sig utanför Karlstads universitet på sommaren. Vårt antagande är att detta representerar något utöver ett vanligt monterkoncept och därigenom etsas fast i besökarnas minne. / Abstract   Fairs already existed as a phenomenon in the Middle Ages and has since then been used as a channel for sales and marketing. Today, companies and organizations compete to get the attention of visitors by creating attractive displays with the winning concept that will attract people and get them to put the company name to memory.   This is what Karlstad University had in mind when they designed the specification for this project. The background to this project is that the University is represented on a number of exhibitions each year, around the country. The mission has thus been to develop a new concept with an associated design at the university's stand. The goal of this project is not primarily to get visitors to apply for the university, but that they will remember it in any future consideration regarding further studies.   The project was developed using qualitative methodology. Interview manuals was designed to help identify what the communication department, student ambassadors and counselors thoughts of stand concept were. Based upon the information that these interviews showed, we created a template of key aspects to use  in making new material. In addition, the communication strategy of the university studied, and theories of marketing, branding, sensory marketing and places have been processed to create the best stand concept as possible.   The result created consists of a concept with accompanying printed materials. Printed matter produced includes a brochure, two sets of roll-ups and a display background. The final concept was a recurring summer theme based in the respondents' own associations and opinions, while it alludes to the University's main color that is yellow. The feeling this booth appearance should convey is that a visitor is outside Karlstad University in the summer. This feeling is reinforced by the stand's floor  that is a lawn that joins the display background image representing the university and the lawn beyond. Our assumption is that this represents something beyond a normal stand concept and thus etched in the visitors memory.

<p>Student recruitment is a subject that seems to be forgotten in the theory of event communication. Yet the area has some specific reoccurring features.

Information is also important; both to create awareness about the events and fairs, but also information at the event and fairs. This information should first and foremost be through a course catalogue, but also information about the school and the life as a student is important.
