NMB, Saba Saba Trade Fair Exhibition

TanTrade Sabasaba Grounds, Dar es Salaam    July 2026    30 Team Members

The Brief

NMB Bank engaged Route Marketing Consultancy to design, build, and run its exhibition presence at the Dar es Salaam International Trade Fair, popularly known as Saba Saba, held annually at the TanTrade Sabasaba Grounds.

As one of the country's largest and longest-running trade exhibitions, Saba Saba called for more than a standard rented tent. The brief was to give NMB a fully custom-built pavilion that would stand out among exhibitors and give visitors a premium, branded space to engage with the bank's products.

Our Scope

Route Marketing fabricated NMB's entire pavilion from scratch and deployed a 30-member team to run it throughout the fair.

  • Full pavilion design and fabrication, built from the ground up on-site
  • Branded perimeter fencing, curbing, and a dedicated welcome entrance
  • Finished interior fit-out, flooring, ceiling, lighting, and built-in seating
  • Custom-fabricated oversized branded set pieces and props
  • Directional signage and branded flags throughout the fairgrounds
  • 30-member on-ground team managing the space and engaging visitors

The Exhibition

At the Sabasaba Grounds, NMB's pavilion was built entirely from scratch by Route Marketing, from the branded perimeter fence and welcome entrance down to the finished interior where visitors could sit, ask questions, and learn about NMB's products. Oversized fabricated set pieces, including giant replica NMB prepaid cards and a branded NMB Tap milestone piece, gave visitors standout photo moments and drew steady footfall to the space.

The pavilion also carried NMB's AgriBiashara proposition to the fair, with a live tractor display anchoring the agri-financing conversation alongside product zones for NMB Pesa, NMB Mkononi, NMB Kikundi, crop insurance, and the Mkononi Patamu loan product. The 30-member team stayed on the ground throughout the fair, keeping the pavilion staffed and visitors engaged from open to close.
