From EvokAd.com comes this extremely useful post about maximizing your trade show experience:
Your company spends a great deal of time and money on trade shows, but do these investments pay off in increased business? Proper coordination from planning through follow-up will draw more traffic to your booth and seal the deal with new customers. Here are proven tips from our trade show experts:
Before the show
- Set S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Tangible) goals – research the show, know the audience, determine your objectives and plan your exhibit strategies.
- Hold meetings to be sure everyone working the event is informed and establish ground rules for expectations.
- Send pre-show mailers inviting current customers, potential customers and members of the media to visit your booth.
- Set appointments with current and potential customers before the show starts – you can’t expect business to just come to you.
- Take advantage of pre-show and on-site promotions through the show organizers.
- Coordinate staff clothing so that the entire team is easy to identify.
- Designate an in-house point person to handle all logistics, such as hotel reservations, airfare, freight, etc. Keep detailed and organized files for reference.
- Participate in the media room by providing media kits for the press.
During the show
- Research your competitors – evaluate their products, exhibits and literature.
- Be sure that booth team members greet visitors, answer their questions knowledgeably and direct them to the products or services you want to promote.
- If the venue has a media room, be sure the point person visits daily to ensure media kit availability.
- Take pictures of your booth and keep on file for reference.
After the show
- Conduct a post-show survey for staff.
- Follow up by disseminating information gathered at the booth to the sales team and track leads.
- Consistently track results from show-to-show, year-to-year.
The only thing I would add to this very helpful list would be that if you chose your booth, kiosk, and/or displays from Godfrey Group, your trade show would be an even greater success!

Your main trade show booth or kiosk should be instantly recognizable by your customers and clients; your company’s colors, emblems, logo, etc. should be clearly visible from across a large area.
Many businesses are having their most frequently used, sturdiest trade show booth custom-made, therefore giving it the most personalized, individual look possible.
However, there will be times when a trade show is so far away it makes packing 
such a display impractical. There might also be a trade show with a universal theme, etc, making it advisable to add something to join in the “fun.” Plus, there are many times an add-on or two will make your usual, standard display stand out even more! That’s where Godfrey Group’s pop-up displays will be a welcome addition!
Remember: you want your customers and clients to recognize your display, and you want potential customers and clients to spot your display and find it intriguing enough to check out!
Whatever your trade show booth, kiosk, or display needs, we guarantee that you will find exactly what you need at Godfrey Group; and if you need something custom-made, we’ll make it EXACTLY as you wish.

The world’s largest consumer technology trade show, the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show, known in the industry as the CES, is being held this week in Las Vegas at the Las Vegas Convention Center/Las Vegas Hilton and The Venetian. CES is such a large show that at least two venues are necessary, for the show covers more space than 35 (American) football fields. That’s a big space, folks.
The CES is always loaded with fantastic new electronics, all displayed beautifully in trade show booths and kiosks, many of these from Godfrey Group. If you are attending CES with specific products or companies in mind, look above the crowd for overhead banners and hanging headers; those are always an easy way to find something specific in a large area.
General information about the CES may be found on its website.
Hadn’t you best hurry over there? Lady Gaga, Garfield, Stan Lee, Drew Carey, Guy Kawasaki, Soleil Moon Frye (Punky Brewster!), Bradley Whitford, Tommy Lee, and many other celebrities will be at this year’s CES.
And the EXHIBITS!!! Awesome doesn’t begin to describe them.

From Pet Product News International.com comes this notice about an upcoming trade show, which will feature 300+ exhibits and several thousand attendees! That’s serious exposure for each booth or kiosk, so an exhibit or display that truly stands out will be of major importance! Any pet business planning to exhibit at this trade show, but which hasn’t yet decided on a display, might check out Godfrey Group’s unique and eye-catching booths, displays, banners, pamphlet racks, table covers, and other items that will definitely bring the potential customers and clients to your kiosk!
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. Fetching Communications, a Tampa Bay, Fla.-based marketing agency, is sponsoring a free luncheon/presentation on April 24 entitled “Going Green: What You Need to Know About Selling Natural and Organic Products.” To RSVP, email hello@fetchingcommunications.com. Participation is limited to the first 100 respondents.

Your 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!

Sometimes 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!

A backlit box frame can highlight your company’s promo or poster better and faster than almost anything else! Godfrey Group can offer you almost any kind of backlit frame that you can imagine, and if you need something that is difficult or even impossible to find - an unusual size, etc. - we’ll probably have it! And if we don’t, we can probably make it for you!
at tradeshows and in retail environments where the fight for attention is fierce. Backlit displays deliver your message with impact and help generate traffic.
are so thin they can be hung on the wall like a picture frame. Nominal thickness of 2-5/8”. Great for walls or use to brighten an exhibit.
FaceOff FlipFace Frame provides quick change of graphics. SlimLine light frames are extremely lightweight and easier to handle, while providing bright, even lighting. Custom sizes available.
For sizes larger than 48”x 96”, we can custom manufacture large format light boxes. Boxes feature aluminum framework, flip face aluminum frame that snaps over graphic, and laminate or milk plex edge panels. The large format frame will accept backlit vinyl graphics, which we can print in-house. Please call for a quote: 1-800-789-9394
For other backlit displays, see the Godfrey Group website.
