Is The Slowing Economy Hurting Your Business? Let Godfrey Help!

Wednesday, August 4th, 2010

A recent report concerning the country’s slagging economyjust came out this week and while it’s not bad, it definitely leaves a lot to be desired. According to the report from CNN “ The U.S. economy continued to grow during the second quarter, the government reported Friday. But the pace slowed more than economists were expecting, raising concern about growth - or even another recession - in the months ahead. Gross domestic product, the broadest measure of the nation’s economic activity, rose at a 2.4% annual rate during the three months ended June 30, the Commerce Department said. The sluggish pace was down from the upwardly revised 3.7% growth rate in the first quarter, and missed economists’ forecast for a 2.5% increase.”  As part of the same story one of the country’s tope economic analysts goes on to say that “People are continuing to cut back, and that could mean that third-quarter growth will be the worst since the end of the recession. The slowing growth path leaves the possibility of a double-dip recession on the table.”

If you are one of the thousands of companies out there they make their living by traveling from trade show to trade show, the thought of an even further slowing of consumer spending has got to send shivers down your spine. If your current display is aging quickly or you are looking for a more creative way to spark interest in your products, than this latest news has to hit you equally hard because we all know that  you need money to make money. Well you may be able to get some relief thanks to Godfrey’s display rental program.

Priced 50-60% less than if purchased all at once, rental displays not only help you get a better feel of what works, but they are also a great alternative to purchasing two displays if you only need more than one for a short period of time. Available in many styles, rental display options include:

  • A standard portable display with graphics creating a custom look.
  • A combination of our systems configured for a custom look.
  • A customized TechForm or Truss beam.
  • A complete custom PodForum.
  • In these tough economic times when people are becoming more and more selective with how they spend their money, it’s more important than ever that your investments reap great returns. Godfrey understands that when you are attending a trade show you need to be able to position yourself with a unique display that is sure to attract attention for your target customers. Unfortunately purchasing a display you’ve never seen in action before is more of a risk than some are willing to commit to and that’s why we are happy to help with multiple rental options that are specifically designed to spark interest in your company. For more information on display rentals contact one of our personal project managers today.

    The Art Of Knowing What You Want And How To Get It

    Monday, June 7th, 2010

    Last week in a post titled “The Right Person For The Job” I talked about how something as tantalizing as Fillet Mignon would appear to be plain trash if it were to be served to you on a garbage can lid. Now in that post I was using this example as way to make sure you are employing people who have a certain degree of charm and personality, but the same can be said about how you choose to show off your product as well. You could essentially have one of those products that becomes synonymous with a entire line of products from any number of manufacturers (Coke, TiVo, and Matchbox Cars are examples of this), but because you did not choose the best way to promote your idea nobody ever takes notice. It’s those early decisions about how you will choose to bring your product to the consumer that make all the difference in the world.

    Understandably this isn’t an easy process and not something to jump into. You want to start with a very broad idea of what you want and then begin to eliminate choices. Is your event outside? Do you need something like a large tent or would a smaller Mushroom style kiosk do the trick? Are you looking for something that can easily be packed up and taken to the next location or does portability not matter? Maybe you are just looking to spice up your office front. Will there be some type of attendant with a desk stationed there? Is privacy going to be a concern? How about signage? Were you thinking about something that may possibly hang from the ceiling or maybe you’d rather just have a stand that would allow people to pick up literature as they pass by?

    All of these questions and we haven’t even considered graphics yet. Are you looking for something with bright colors or is something more professional what you had in mind? Do you have a specific logo that needs to be included or are you looking to come up with a new theme unlike anything you have done before? Are considering renting a booth to start out or are you ready to fully customize a display of your own?

    Finding what is right for you and your products can be time consuming process, but one that is fulfilling and often very profitable. Knowing what works best for you and what you want makes all the difference in the world. The Godfrey Group understands this and that’s why we’ve created a Design Library that lets you start narrowing your ideas down and even save them so that you can come back later after you’ve researched what you want a little further.

    Trade Show Display Rental: A Good Decision In A Bad Economy

    Monday, May 10th, 2010

    Even if you don’t watch the stock market as closely as others, if you have any interest at all chances are you caught wind of Thursday’s 1,000 point plunge. While the dramatic drop was nothing to laugh at (especially for those who would like to retire and live off their 401k someday) what makes the situation even more scary is the fact that the country’s top experts really don’t have a clear idea as to why it happened or if it will again. According to one expert in an interview with USA Today this past Sunday “The fact we don’t know (what happened) makes us lose confidence in the system”. This may come as some harsh words to hear for a country that has been struggling to claw its way out of the recent recession. Regardless of what it’s in, investing is always a risky and worrisome thing to do. Still the only way to grow is to take that risk, cross those fingers, and dive into that latest venture.  That isn’t to say that you have to jump blindly though. In terms of the tradeshows and conventions, renting a booth may be a smart way to test the murky waters before committing loads of cash.

    This is exactly what The Godfrey Group is doing when offering its fantastic and wide spread line of products to its customers on a rental basis. Whether you’re just planning on attending one event or if your schedule has you criss-crossing the country every weekend, forget about simple fold out tables and a few chairs, Godfrey can cut your costs without cutting the quality you receive. Imagine a portable display with amazing graphics, a unique combination of several looks all rolled into one, or one of our best looking PodForum’s at 50-60% less than what you would typically pay. 

    Perfect for those that are considering venturing into new markets or wanting to test a new product, The Godfrey Group has just what you need to get through these trouble times. If you’ve been thinking about making a new investment and wish you had way to look before you leap, consider one of our many trade show display rental options.

     Just another way The Godfrey Group is helping to make your next trade show or convention the most successful one yet!

    . . . For ALL Your Trade Show Needs. . . .

    Monday, January 25th, 2010

    d-1249-2020Your 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 th_spacest-d-3115-1010such 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.

    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

    Friday, December 4th, 2009

    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!
