If you’re a fan of video games or simply electronics in general, than you are no doubt already aware of the E3 Expo that kicks into full gear this week in Los Angeles from the 15-17th. With over 40,000 visitors and booths representing 98% of U.S game manufactures, it’s no wonder fans are proclaiming the circus is coming to town. E3 for short, the Electronics Entertainment Expo proclaims itself to be the premier electronics even of the year and is only available to those professionals directly employed by the interactive entertainment industry. Exhibitors aside, this however is not what makes this trade show so special; it’s the dozens of exclusive fist time look products that will be unveiled to world for the first time. The top two of these rumored to be the new Microsoft Xbox Natal controller and the Nintendo 3DS.
The new Natal is literally being previewed with the help of the world famous troop Cirque Du Soleil. Forget all those thoughts of what a videogame controller is, was, or should be; the Natal is the controller that puts the contoller in your hands by doing just that…making your hand the controller. Straight from Microsoft, Natal is “a revolutionary new way to play: no controller required. See a ball? Kick it, hit it, trap it or catch it. If you know how to move your hands, shake your hips or speak you and your friends can jump into the fun — the only experience needed is life experience.” Talk about custom graphics!! How much more custom can a trade show exhibit be?
Not to be out done, Nintendo is planning to demonstrate it’s latest world changing technology with the premier of the 3DS. The successor to the DSi XL, this new addition to the hand held game arena takes the worlds recent addiction to all things 3D to new heights by giving the public it’s first 3D gaming system that takes the tradition glasses and throws them out the window. That’s right, no glasses required!!
With demonstrations, exhibits, displays, and kiosks from everyone who is anyone in the electronic gaming industry, this year’s E3 Expo promises to be a dream come true not only for gaming fans but for those that love checking out the latest in trade show marketing tools. From floor to ceiling and wall to wall, you can guarantee that E3 will only provide those in attendance with the best in custom graphics, hands on work stations, and theme displays. Who knows maybe we’ll see you there!!

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!

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.

Businesses 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.
Not sure exactly what kind of trade show display is right for you? Rent first! Godfrey Group 
can offer you a wide selection of rental kiosks, booths, and displays.

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!

This blog is all about trade shows and everyone one would need to display and exhibit his/her wares, talents, and knowledge in such a way that others would be attracted and come closer to investigate. No website about such things could ignore the fact that in just a couple of days, thousands of people will be flying, driving, walking, or being taken by train, boat, plane, and any other conveyance you can possibly think of.
On second thought, scratch “boat.” Blog World Expo is in Las Vegas, and I don’t think there are any waterways connecting it to anyplace else.
The point is, THOUSANDS of people will be at this trade show, checking things out, comparing, contrasting, meeting up with peeps, and walking up and down the rows and rows of dealers, all of whom have done their best to make their booth or kiosk as attractive as possible.
People will be following directions and directives stated right here on Godfrey Group’s blog: bring business cards, bring your camera, make your display colorful and appealing, etc.
Many of the booths and kiosks will be utilizing the designs and displays purchased right here at Godfrey Group!
There are still a few tickets left to Blog World New Media Expo 09. If you haven’t already made your plans to be there, DO IT NOW!
That’s Blog World New Media Expo 09, October 15-17, at the Las Vegas Convention Center.
Blog World Expo details on their website, right here.
