It’s another one of those weeks where if you’re a sports fan there is something happening every moment of the day. The NBA finals are finally getting interesting with the Celtics forcing a game seven with the Lakers. Tiger Woods is out to prove what he hasn’t so far this season at the U.S. Open teeing off this Thursday and that’s the thought that he’s still the same golfer he was before his recent struggles kept him away from the game. All of baseball fandom is hanging on Stephen Strasburg’s every pitch and for the first time in forever the Nationals are must see TV. Not to be out done football is proving it’s America’s number sport even in the off season as rumors run rampant that the Big 12 will soon cease to exist. Last, but certainly not least, the entire planet has their hands all over the World Cup as soccer is putting South Africa front and center in everyone’s minds eye. Meanwhile even as I type this all across the country trade show vendors are taking advantage of these events by getting their message and products to the public via game displays.
You may not know this, but Godfrey offers more than just a few game and promotional displays. In fact the possibilities are limitless thanks to Godfrey’s ability to create any type of game display that meets your exact specifications. Of course we’ve got the standard spin- to-win, football/freesbie toss, and putt putt displays, that are a sure fire hit guaranteed to always draw a crowd, but for those that really want to crank up the excitement Godfrey has just the ticket. How about a basketball shootout setup to go with the NBA Finals? Maybe a bean bag toss game for Major League baseball fans? We could even set you up with a kick and score display sure to bring those soccer fans to your booth.
With Godfrey the sky’s the limit when it comes to customized game displays whether your a sports fan or just a fan of high profits. Each and every display can be tailored to meet your specific needs with your logo emblazzoned for all in attendance to see. Don’t let the competition get the best of you at your next tradeshow; call, fax, or email your design needs today!!

It’s amazing how fast the days fly by. It seems like we just wrapped up the Christmas holidays and yet here we are again exactly one month away from the first official day of summer. All across the country spring is in full bloom and the temps are climbing. With the warm weather comes an endless string of outdoor concerts, fairs, and trade shows. Every weekend brings with it new opportunities to get outside and soak up some local flavor while hanging out at a nearby festival. As much as I like the main attractions at these events, my favorite parts are all the interesting booths and displays to be seen. Whether it be the wide variety of foods ranging from fried Oreos to homemade lemonade or the vendors with all of their freebies or the tents showing off the trendiest cars straight from the local dealership; it’s these types of attractions that give the event the color and flavor that brings a smile to every one’s face.
Outdoor vendors share more than one thing in common with their indoor counterparts but the most important of them all is their need to be noticed by the public. In fact outdoor displays and exhibits may need to be even more spectacular simply because not only are they competing with one another, but they’ve also got to find a way to steal the spotlight away from the main attractions even if it is for only a few brief moments. Godfrey understands the unique challenges outdoor events bring and that’s why they offer more than just ordinary pop-up tents and instead go to great lengths to offer their customers some of the most amazing outdoor displays on the market. From the great look of the mushroom and dome kiosks to spacious tent clusters with optional market umbrella, Godfrey has everything you want in an outdoor display with full customization and amazing graphics to match. Oh and if inflatables are what you have in mind than I’ve got two words for you event pavilions! They’re big, they’re high profile, they’re just the thing you need to make company the center of attention.
This summer don’t let the good times pass you by. Set yourself apart from those other vendors by turning your next outdoor trade show or festival into one for the record books! Call one of our personal project managers today ask them how you can make this a season to remember!!

A couple weeks back I brought you the article about the importance of making a good first impression. Simply put that first meeting often holds the key to finding out what a customer ’s needs are and what it will take to convince them that you have the product they have been searching for. Ask any trade or conference show vet and I’m sure they will tell you it’s not the sales you make that weekend that matter the most, it’s all the contacts that are gathered which provide the true test as to whether or not the time spent standing at your booth was a success. So the question becomes once you’ve made that first impression how do you turn all those names and faces into dollars in the weeks and months to come?
First of all make sure your booth or kiosk is a two way street of information. Yes your most important task is to show who you are and how what you are offering is the life change thing that the everyone in the world would be crazy to live without, but while shaking all those hands make sure you come back with a phone number, an email address, or even a business card. Grab a spiral notebook on your way out the door and ask everyone the stops by your booth (even just for a few moments) to sign their name and how they prefer to be reached. Offer them a chance at possible future discounts by doing so.
Second don’t let the grass grow under your feet when comes to reaching out to those you met. A week or two after the show get that spiral notebook back out and let those that spent a moment filling out their information know how much you appreciated their time. If they act like they want to know more about your company great, but even if that call or email doesn’t generate a response don’t give up. Keep in touch with them on a regular basis. Not to say you need to call them weekly, but just enough so that when the time comes where they find themselves in the market for what you have to offer your name is still fresh in their minds. Send them cards during the holidays or special offers every month or so.
Making the first impression is something that can never be made twice, but keeping that same spark alive is a process that can be created over and over. By following up with potential customers you are doing exactly what the term implies; you are maintaining the relationship so that they remain potential customers.

Drive down any major street in America and no doubt signs for McDonalds, Target, Toys R Us, as well as several odd number billboards will catch your eye. Now this could mean you have a 4 yr-old in the backseat like I typically do or according to one study, it may mean that certain colors play a key role in what we opt to spend our money on. Believe it or not there is an entire field of psychology devoted to the science of figuring out what moods are brought on by specific colors and what they are finding is that although you may not know it, some colors may actually be subconsciously pulling or pushing you towards them. Take my the example of McDonalds above; when you think fastfood phrases like “need to be quick“, “in a hurry“, “no time to sit still” probably come to mind all of which just happen to be associated with colors red, yellow, and orange. It should also come as no surprise that these are also the main colors covering the majority of fast food joints across the country. Now take the opposite; when you want that the perfect restaurant to have a nice romantic night out what does your favorite spot typically look like? My guess would be someplace with low light, clean white linens, tan almost dark brown walls, and everything is covered in the soft glow from several well placed candles. As it turns out each of the colors I just described encourages people to slow down and relax.
In terms of trade shows the right colors can make all the difference and help set the perfect mood to match who you are as well as what your message is. This is why the Godfrey Group goes to great lengths to offer its customers more than your standard red, blues, and greens. When you get ready to place your order with us, take a look at our RoadRunner Color and Push Loop selection guides where you will find such eye capturing colors like Blueberry, Oyster, Par Green, Sterling, and the always popular Flame red. Need something with a little texture to it? How about Regency, Amber, or Stellar all available in ribbed or velvet designs. The Godfrey Group has plenty of colors to choose from each available for table runners, throws, pop-up displays, and other exhibits. Remember before you get ready to attend your next event, think about the mood you want to set and get with Godfrey for the perfect color to match your needs.

A few years back I was working a swim meet at a university in south Alabama and things were not going my way. I had swim caps. I had the latest greatest suits and goggles. Training aides, nose plugs, ear plugs; if it was meant to make you faster in the water I had it there just waiting to be purchased. I had it all and still though my sales were dismal at best. Suddenly several hundred 7-10 yr olds came running towards the table and….kept going right past everything I had brought. It was then I figured out where I went wrong. It wasn’t that morning during set-up; it was several weeks before when I assumed that because the event was at a college everyone attending would be college kids. The majority of everything I had packed were higher sizes and thus way too big for those actually swimming that day. I hadn’t done my homework and cost myself hundreds of dollars in sales.
Before you make plans to attend that next big trade show on your calendar, make sure your company is a good match for the overall theme of the event. Know your demographic, their likes and dislikes, and find out if they will be there in abundance. Get a sense of the layout of the event and don’t be afraid to ask if your booth will be positioned near others who may be offering similar products to yours. Ask the organizers of the tradeshow how they plan to advertise the show and what the schedule will be. The next step is to make sure you’re prepared to bring you’re A-game and that’s where the Godfrey Group comes in.
At the Godfrey Group we want every event you attend this year to be your best yet and that’s why our Personal Project Managers are specially trained to help you take any idea from conception to completion. We can supply your company display designs, custom production services, a wide range of graphics, booth rentals, and we can even help you manage that next event on your schedule so you don’t make the same mistake I did.

We have had a little opportunity to post some of our ideas and some things you may consider when choosing a trade show display for your event, but who should you choose for your display or for your booth at your next trade show, conference, event, or meeting? Maybe a statement from our President, H. Glenn Godfrey:

It seems like a small statement but it does provide the essence of what The Godfrey Group is and lets you see what we want the world to know about us. Perhaps a further look into what we want people to know:
