A deposit is a partial payment made when booking. It makes the reservation binding and is offset against the total price.
With a deposit, the client pays part of the agreed price in advance and the rest later, for example on the day of the service or after delivery. The deposit counts towards the total price and is therefore not an extra fee.
Deposits are common in the events sector because providers reserve fixed dates and turn down other requests for them. How large the deposit is and what happens in case of cancellation is set out in the quote or the provider's terms.
For exhibitors the deposit is the moment an enquiry becomes a firm booking. Experienced crews are in demand during show weeks, and an enquiry alone does not secure the date. With the deposit paid, the crew is firmly scheduled for your show day.
Make sure the amount, due date and balance are stated clearly in the quote, along with the rules for postponement or cancellation. Settle early who approves the payment internally, because approvals in international companies sometimes take longer than expected. For exhibitors from abroad it also matters that the invoice carries the right tax details: the VAT ID for EU companies and, for non-EU companies, the note that no German VAT is charged. A correct invoice speeds up payment and spares your accounts team follow-up questions.
Payment is by invoice or online by credit card; the details are in the quote. The deposit invoice comes with the booking confirmation. Once the deposit is paid your date is firmly reserved and we plan crew, equipment and schedule for your stand (booth).
Paying the balance on the show day means you do not have to chase open invoices long after the show. The first photos usually arrive the same day, the complete material within 24 hours after the show ends. Package prices from €990 are plus VAT where applicable.
