Pavilion stand or own stand: what to photograph

Indian companies often exhibit inside a national or industry pavilion organised by an export promotion council, on a compact shell-scheme stand (booth) with a shared backdrop. Photos of such a stand need care: tight framing, your company name clearly visible, and product shots that make a small space look like a serious supplier. Companies with their own island stand need something else as well: wide views that show the scale of the stand, the team and the traffic in the aisle.

We cover both. The Trade Fair Basic package at €990 is often enough for a pavilion stand: two hours, 30+ edited photos, a 30-second highlight video and one vertical clip. Professional at €1,490 covers four hours, Full Day at €1,990 eight hours with interviews and a 90-second film. The on-site team is two to three people, based in Essen and working at every major German venue, with an editing team cutting remotely while the show runs.

German fairs that matter for Indian exporters

Pharmaceutical and chemical companies have two key dates in Frankfurt: CPHI Worldwide in the years it is held there, and ACHEMA, the process industry show held every three years. Engineering companies, forging and casting suppliers and automation firms go to HANNOVER MESSE in April. Auto component makers meet the aftermarket at Automechanika in Frankfurt, every two years in September. Medical device and disposables manufacturers exhibit at MEDICA in Düsseldorf in November.

Home textile exporters go to Heimtextil in January; handicrafts, brassware, tableware and gifts to Ambiente at the turn of January and February. Spices, tea, rice and organic ingredients go to BIOFACH in Nuremberg in February and to Anuga in Cologne, every two years in October. Jewellery and gem manufacturers exhibit at INHORGENTA in Munich in February.

Invoice, payment and English on the stand

Indian companies are outside the EU, so the invoice from Pixer GmbH carries no German VAT. It is in euro and paid by bank transfer: 50 percent on booking and 50 percent on the show day. Your finance team treats it like any other service bought from abroad. The quote you approve is the amount on the invoice, with nothing added later.

English is the working language of the whole job: the quote, the shot list, the direction on the stand and the interviews. Your managers and engineers can speak in English on camera, which is what European buyers expect to hear. If you also need Hindi or another Indian language for audiences at home, we deliver translated subtitles, proofread by your team before the final version. We do not speak Indian languages ourselves; our other languages are German, Arabic and Persian, which help if your distributors are in the Gulf.

Formats for LinkedIn, dealers and head office

Show content from Germany can serve three audiences at home: LinkedIn for the company and its leadership, WhatsApp groups with dealers and distributors, and presentations for management. We deliver landscape photos and video for LinkedIn and the website, vertical 9:16 clips that play well when forwarded on WhatsApp, and clean product and team photos for catalogues and sales decks. If you report your participation to an export promotion council or an industry association, tell us, and we include wide shots with your company name and stand number clearly visible.

Germany is three and a half hours behind India in summer and four and a half in winter. First selected photos usually go out the same evening German time, which is late night in India; the complete edited set and the highlight video follow within 24 hours after the coverage ends. Head office starts the next morning with the material, and your team has every file before the flight home.

FAQ

Questions from Indian exhibitors

Do Indian companies pay German VAT?

No. Companies registered outside the EU, including India, receive a net invoice without German VAT. The invoice is in euro and paid by bank transfer.

Is the Basic package enough for a small pavilion stand?

Usually yes. Two hours give 30+ edited photos, a 30-second highlight video and one vertical clip, which covers a compact stand thoroughly. Book Professional if important meetings are spread over the day.

Can you deliver Hindi subtitles?

Yes, on request. Interviews are recorded in English, the subtitles are translated, and your team proofreads them before the final version.

Our stand is part of a national pavilion. Do you need permission from the organiser?

You request an exhibitor pass for us from your allocation. Your own stand, products and staff need no further permit; for wider shots of the pavilion we follow the organiser's rules.

When will we have the files?

First selected photos usually the same evening German time. The complete set and the highlight video within 24 hours after the coverage ends.

Can you photograph our stand for a report to an export promotion council?

Yes. Tell us what the report needs, and we include wide shots with your company name and stand number clearly visible.
