Wednesday we indulged ourselves a bit by talking about the BCS National Championship game and how to transform everyone’s love of sports into higher profits through the use of game props such as putt-putt, Plinko, and football toss. We also mentioned the nation as a whole was in a fever pitch which will continue building until it reaches its climax with the Super Bowl on February 6th. Doesn’t it always seem like the biggest events are held on the days where you simply can’t be two places at one time? You missed the Red Sox win the World Series because of your cousins wedding. Game 7 of the NBA finals got taken out by month end reports being due at work. Tiger Woods put on that green jacket while your Grandmother (who has never owned a TV) passed the gravy boat at the annual must attend or be kicked out of the family reunion.
Now comes word that the next great moment in sports history is taking place on February 6th and you’ve got a trade show planned for that very night. While Godfrey can’t make it where you are two places at once, we can bring the game to you and to the hundreds of visitors that are sure to stop by thanks to our amazing audio & video trade show exhibits!
Whether it be for trade show or retail use, Godfrey is ready at the drop of a hat to provide you with some of the most amazing audio video displays you have ever seen. Need a new way to show off that new commercial? Looking for a giant sized billboard to tower over your display so everyone in attendance can watch the big game? How about an easier way for visitors to contact people inside your company? Our helpful staff can provide you with options to fit all of these needs and more!
Don’t miss that next great moment in sports history because you didn’t plan ahead and don’t miss out on the chance be the go to stop at your next trade show event. Help is just a click away!!

As a fan of the University of Auburn I feel compelled this week to write about Monday night’s BCS National Championship win over Oregon. The game which set a record for being the most viewed cable event ever and another for the highest attendance at the Phoenix Stadium which just happened to be the home of Super Bowl 42, also highlights the obvious and that’s people love to compete. Regardless of what sport whether it be golf, tennis, football, basketball, or lawn darts that sense of challenge and accomplishment that is gained from claiming victory is the thing that keeps people always coming back for more win or lose. From the Olympic gold medalist to the king of paper football everyone has dreams of victory and for business owners this thirst for glory could mean some major name recognition

Looking back to what was 2010 there were a ton of stories that caught the nations attentions; the Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days, the Gulf of Mexico Oil spill that will be sending shockwaves through the entire country from years to come, and maybe the biggest story of them all the continued struggle to revive the slumping economy. Several months back we mentioned that at least from the point of view of one economist things were finally getting back on the right track. According to Gunther Bright, VP of the Global Client Group “We’re seeing a significant shift to a more positive outlook among finance executives as companies have moved from simply surviving the present to investing in growth for the future. At the same time, the experience of the recession set the stage for a newfound and long-term focus on financial discipline and management rigor”. Now comes word from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) that for the first time in a while trade show growth is on the rise!
In a release from the research agency, the CEIR is stating that according to their findings the third quarter was witness to the first upswing in trade show growth in nine quarters. “After a record setting nine consecutive quarters of negative quarter over quarter performance, the third quarter of the 2010 CEIR Index reports all four metrics show improvement over the third quarter of 2009. This is most welcome news and tends to confirm some of the anecdotal reports we have reviewed. It should be noted that the third quarter is historically the weakest of the four quarters and has had the greatest decline. The test will be to see if this positive trend continues into the fourth quarter of 2010 and then the all important first quarter of 2011.”
This means that for those companies holding back from attending a larger number of trade shows than they typically would, now is the time to look into jumping back into the waters and riding the wave of growth to higher sales. Thankfully Godfrey is here to help you make a splash with tons of original and custom designed trade show exhibits especially designed to grab the attention of all those consumers looking to be amazed! Don’t wait until it’s too late and risk losing money that could be made as more and more visitors pile into trade show centers all across the country. Contact Godfrey today!

Being as this is New Year’s Eve it only makes sense that we would be talking about resolutions and ways to improve your business for the coming year. So far this week we have covered ideas for saving the planet with the help of our environmentally friendly PodForum series and just how our display rental program could literally make it so you are in two places at once. Today we are going to talk about putting things off to the last minute. It’s something we all do and for many no matter how hard they try nothing cannot be put off till later so that something more fun or more desirable can be done immediately. According to one group of researchers looking into ways to more effectively manage time “In 1978, 5% of the population admitted to being chronic procrastinators compared to to roughly 26% of the population today (Steele, 2007).Surveys of student populations suggest that procrastination is pervasive with some surveys suggesting that 85-95% of students have problems associated with procrastination”
When running a business there always seems to be things that are considered more desirable and tasks that are uncomfortable to do. Nobody wants to sit around worrying about taxes or working on dropping sales reports all day when they can be out making contacts and marketing their company to the public. Still though in order to be a success it’s important to be aware of coming trends and what consumers will expect from you in the weeks or months ahead. A prime example of this can be found in Godfrey’s extensive design library. Winter is hitting the U.S hard with blizzards causing over 10,000 flight delays across the country. As individuals we can’t help but pay attention to the cold weather headlines taking over out nightly news reports, but as business owners we need to be planning for brighter days as Spring begins to creep closer and closer. This means that the time to begin designing that custom inflatable outdoor display isn’t three months from now when the temps begin to edge into the early 80′s, today is the day to begin making those plans so that when Spring has finally sprung to life you are ahead of the curve with your new trade custom built tent city already sitting within arm’s reach.
This year don’t wait to the last minute to find a display that’s a perfect fit for your needs, resolve to start looking toward the future today!!

This week we talking about the one thing on everyone’s mind and that’s New Year’s resolutions. Whether you are planning on quitting smoking, joining a gym, or answering the phone when your mom calls every day, no doubt you have something special in mind that if you could just stick to it might change your entire life. New Year’s resolutions aren’t just for individuals though. In fact setting a list of goals for the coming business year is always a good practice to maintain and could end up making you a ton of profits. On Monday we discussed a type of resolution that is sure to be at the top of everyone’s list, going green with the help of Godfrey’s PodForum series of environmentally friendly trade show displays. Today we want to focus on another way to save, but this time we want to target your wallet with the help of our trade show rental program.
One question we get time and time again about display renting is “How can it help my business?” The answer is “How can it not?” Regardless of whether you operate a retail store, a mail order company, or even a mall kiosk, renting a display is not only a smart decision it may just be the key to opening up doors you never knew existed.
How renting a display can help your business
1) Allows you to be in two places at the same time. We understand you can’t always control other people’s schedules and that at times it seems almost impossible to be at all the places that you would like to at the same time. So what do you do on those days you need to be at the big trade show in Chicago, at the local union meeting near your headquarters in New York, and still keep someone at your flagship store? Whether it’s a onetime thing or you find yourself continuously pulled in multiple directions, a rental display can help by easily giving you a presence where the help is needed.
2)Testing out new ideas becomes easier. Got an idea that just might change the way you market your company? Want to test out the waters of the trade show market without having to risk losing a ton of cash? Thinking about expanding but not sure if now is the best time? Renting a display takes care of all of these problems without causing you to over extend your budget
With the New Year quickly approaching now is the time make those changes and take those chances you have been chewing over for months. Thanks to Godfrey’s display rental program you are one click away from gaining access to a display that includes such options as: 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 system; a complete custom PodForum system.
Don’t hesitate contact us today online or at 1-800-789-9394!!!!!

To say that shopping is stressful is like saying that popcorn is made from corn. It’s a no brainer that giving is a gift can be extremely frustrating. Whether it be the perfect Valentine’s Day gift to win over that special someone, a birthday gift for that person that has everything, or the dreaded Christmas Gift that will bring a tear to your girl’s eye, no matter what the situation spending that cash you worked so hard to get is definitely something that shouldn’t be taken lightly. This proves to be even more true when it comes time to buy a new trade show exhibit. That’s why today our gift to you is a list of ways to make your trade show display shopping experience a little less stressful.
Steps To Building A Stress Free Trade Show Exhibit
Have a budget- I listed this before knowing what you want simply because what you want and what you can afford are often completely different two different things. Think about how much you can afford to spend, how much in terms of sales a new display will add to your business, and try to figure out how what you might want fits in to what you can afford.
Have a plan- Once you have an idea of how much you can spend, figure out what you need. An easier way to do this may be to figure out what you don’t need. If you are a vendor that strictly visits indoor events, you clearly don’t need to be looking at outdoor tents and inflatables. Browse our trade show design gallery and see how your idea of what a trade show display should be compares to what is available.
Know how to execute the plan- After you have narrowed down what you are looking for, it’s time to figure out the best way to get the most out of your new display. What configuration works best? What sales approaches work well with the new display? How will you direct traffic in and around your new exhibit? Make sure you know what the layout of your design will look like long before you arrive at that convention center to setup shop for the weekend.

Every display needs one, every vendor could use one, and every lover of free samples desperately seeks one; today we are talking trade show pedestals. Believe it or not, all trade show pedestals are not created equally. Some are tall, some are short, some are wide, some are narrow, some even turn into their own shipping case. Regardless of whether we are talking about outdoor displays, hanging headers, or game displays, Godfrey doesn’t do anything halfway and that includes offering you the best looking pedestals on the market today. Check out these awesome designs!
Customer Built Trade Show Pedestals

Kidney Shaped Pedestals- A pedestal with tons of style and functionality, the Kidney shaped design is a fan favorite with an optional fabric stripe inlay and some extra storage cabinet below.
Rectangular and Square Shape Pedestals- It’s hip to be square with these pedestals that give a new spin to something old. Available in a wide variety of colors including the ability to mix and match tops and bottoms, this is the perfect addition to any trade show exhibit.
Round Pedestals- Other than the fact that these pedestals are round, something else that makes them uber cool is the ability to stack them on top of one another. The Multi-level round pedestal offers you a bottom level that measures 16″w X 40″h, a second level measuring 30″w X 33″h, and a top level at 48″w X 26″h

Have you ever been at a trade show and wished for the one thing that only an insane person would expect to have with hundreds of people walking past at any given time. Today we are talking about privacy which is something that you are ensured never to get during a trade show. Given you are there to sell sell sell and the whole purpose of a trade show is to get your name out by talking to as many people as possible, but still there are always those times when you can’t help but think that if you could just have a few moments of privacy with an individual it would surely lead to a sale. After all a little one on one time goes a long way to establishing that all important relationship that is essentially the foundation of any sale not to mention any reoccurring sale.
Godfrey understands this need for a place to sit out and spend some one on one time with a potential client and that’s why we are proud to offer you what is essentially a portable conference room. Sure you can still have all that show room space with your exhibit featuring a wide variety of pedestals, hanging racks, video monitors, information displays, etc…but now you will also have the ability to take those customers you want to spend some extra time with back to a private enclosed area complete with fabric walls, a small portable conference table, and chairs so you can sit back and get down to business.
When building those all important business relationships sometimes you need to get away from all the chaos and noise that a trade show brings in order to be able to really get a sense of what the customer is looking for. With a portable conference room from Godfrey you will be getting just that!
