For this reason, we feel that it is important to discuss and explain a few variables that affect the prices of units. **Varying Transportation Costs** First and foremost, the main element affecting cost in the industry is transportation. This is due to factors such as: location of delivery, availability of trucks and fuel prices. Transportation costs are the most unpredictable variables in the industry.

With our containers, you can get to different locations both quickly, and with ease throughout the span of one or multiple days. The SSLite series, pictured below, is especially effective when frequent venue changes are required. With the ability to be hauled by a pick-up truck, and easily deployed by our electrical leg system, the SSLite model is a favourite among our clients. In addition, our solutions have a quick set-up time. Our standard units have hydraulic doors and leg systems built-in designed to make the load-in/load-out process as quick and efficient as possible, and our SSLite series have electrical legs and doors that are easily operated by a single person.

One specific project comes to mind when we think about the many challenges we have faced throughout this past year. This project, for a German airline, had a very tight delivery time of 10 days. Due to a difference in time zones, we encountered additional communication difficulties with the client, which added to this already daunting challenge. **Container customization at its best** [Read More](https://blog.steelspaceconcepts.com/en/they-did-not-know-it-was-impossible-so-they-did-it) Topics: [Experiential Marketing](https://blog.steelspaceconcepts.com/en/topic/experiential-marketing) ## [Customizing and Branding Your Experiential Marketing Unit](https://blog.steelspaceconcepts.com/en/customizing-and-branding-your-experiential-marketing-unit) Posted by Guillaume Cloutier on Jan 15, 2019 2:17:37 PM - [Tweet](https://twitter.com/share) [![](https://blog.steelspaceconcepts.com/hubfs/Funko-Steel-Space-Concepts-SS20-1.jpg)](https://blog.steelspaceconcepts.com/en/customizing-and-branding-your-experiential-marketing-unit) Today we’ll be going over most of our clients‘ favorite part of the project; deciding on how to customize the container. This stage of the project is very interesting for us as no project is ever the same. Some clients prefer to build the concept on their own and then have us execute their plan, others prefer to work on a collaborative basis with us in order to come up with the best possible outcome, and others ask us to design the entire concept and propose different alternatives that they can then choose from.
