h-round-10ftx42in-rs1042-9979Businesses put up a booth or kiosk at a trade show in order to attract potential customers, and potential customers are attracted to booths and kiosks that they can see!  One thing that will make your display more noticeable than the others is to hang a header over it.

Headers can be seen across a crowded room, as the song says.

Once your header has been spotted, your potential customers/clients might also be give a good impression if your main display is “green,” and Godfrey Group can help you there, too!  We have an extensive list of eco-friendly display options.

H.H. Backer Gears Up for 2010 Spring Show!

Organizers expect more than 5,000 pet specialty retailers, distributors, groomers and other pet business professionals to attend the event. More than 300 pet supply manufacturers and distributers are expected to display their goods at the show. The 2009 spring show attracted more than 5,300 buyers and 319 exhibitors.

Hours for the 2010 show have been reduced by one hour each day. New show hours are 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on April 23 and 24 and 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. on April 25. David Harvey, trade show coordinator, said feedback from show attendees and exhibitors prompted the change.

New in 2010 will be “Ask the Expert” management consulting sessions with Vicki Lynne Morgan, owner of manufactures’ representative firm, Animal Brands, of Califon, N.J. The free, one-on-one sessions are open to retailers, distributors and manufacturers.

The 2010 spring show will also feature a new $10,000 Treasure Hunt contest. The contest invites qualified buyers and distributors to participate in a daily scavenger hunt for a chance to win cash prizes.

Returning in 2010 is the all-natural area, which features companies with natural or “green” products; the Aquatic Answers section, which features aquatic exhibitors and “Ask the Expert” sessions; and the Product Showcase.

In addition to the exhibition, the show is set to include a number of free educational seminars and special events to help retailers learn more about marketing and pet care, among other subjects.

Participation is limited to the first 100 respondents.

Make Your Trade Show Display Uniquely YOURS!

Saturday, December 19th, 2009

d-1695-1010Your business no doubt has its own trademark icons and colors, so it’s a good idea to use these when planning and designing your business’ own unique trade show booth or kiosk displays.

If your potential clients/customers have seen your ads or read your company’s blog, etc, they will be actively looking for the color scheme and icons they saw before, and which they now associate with your business.

Remember that at a trade show, your company will be competing with hundreds of other companies for the attention and accounts of all of the conference attendees, every single one of which is a potential client!  It just makes sense to design your booth or kiosk to be instantly recognizable, even from a distance, as YOUR company’s booth or kiosk.

If your company’s trade show display is pictured on your business cards, all the better!  The clients/customers will instantly recognize your display, even if it’s only by the colors, and come right to you!

Need help designing your unique trade show display?  Godfrey Group is happy to assist you with this; just give us a call at 1-800- 789-9394.  You can even start planning your booth or kiosk design with Godfrey Group’s Design Library - and when you log in and save your plans,  you can always come back and change, rearrange, and share your ideas with others in your company!

Trade Show Display Rentals

rentalSometimes it’s more practical to rent your trade show booth display than to buy it.

Perhaps you don’t set up a booth or kiosk frequently enough to make it worth your while to purchase your displays.  Perhaps the product is making its debut at a trade show and you don’t want to buy a display until the product proves itself.  Maybe your budget favors rental rather than purchase at this point in time.  There are many reasons why renting your trade show displays is a wise decision; these are merely a few.

Godfrey Group has many fabulous trade show booth/kiosk rental displays, depending on what kind of product you’ll be showing; moreover, if we don’t already have exactly what you want and need, we’ll make it for you!

Give Godfrey Group a call at 1-800-789-9394; our customer service people are standing by for your call!
