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.

    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!
