It’s finally here! The day we’ve been talking about all week long has finally arrived and it’s time to celebrate!!! Happy Earth Day 2011 from The Godfrey Group! All week long we’ve been showing you how to turn your next trade show presentation into one that is earth friendly with the help of our environmentally friendly trade show displays. Today we want to want to cap things off with a campaign that is sure to change the world for generations to come.
It’s called The Billion Acts of Green campaign and it’s more than just a way to show your support for all things earthy friendly, it’s a movement that is destined to show the entire world that change can happen. Kicking off in 2010 during the 40th anniversary of the first Earth Day, The Billion Acts of Green is a campaign in which ordinary people just like you and me pledge to take action to save the environment one act at a time with the goal of reaching 1 Billion acts by the start of the 2012 U.N. Conference on Sustainable Development in 2012.
This is your chance as an a small business owner, as a trade show traveler, and an individual concerned about the effects of the population on the environment to step up and commit to taking steps to make this world a better place. Just check out some of the things others like yourself are committing to doing:
*Switching to energy efficient light bulbs
*Riding their bikes to work
*Planting a community garden
*Buying from local farmers
Now that we know what others are doing, what can you do as a small business owner? Right away we know a couple of things, switching to an environmentally friendly display or a trade show display that is lightweight and will cut back on travel expense (which leads to less gas being use). How about scheduling events which are close together and eliminating some of the back & forth trips? Next time why not filling your information displays with brochures made from recycled paper? The trick is to be creative and stick with your commitment. Together one day soon we will be one billion strong united in our support for world change!

Welcome to another Monday with the Godfrey Group where all week we’ll be featuring posts centered around this coming Friday’s other big holiday EARTH DAY 2011!! Started way back in 1970 by Wisconsin Senator Gaylord Nelson as a reaction the 1969 Santa Barbara oil spill, for over 30 years now the holiday has taken place on April 22 and has inspired hundreds of millions to do their part to preserve the planet. Now a global event recognized in 141 different locations, Earth Day is more than just a reason to celebrate this wonderful world we live in. Earth Day is a call to action for everyone on this planet to start doing their part to reduce their carbon footprint.
Godfrey has taken up this call to give back and help preserve the world in all its wonder by offering trade show vendors a quality custom designed trade show display that is environmentally friendly. Imagine attending that next big trade show event being able to proclaim to the masses that everything they are looking at was especially designed to cut back on the amount of waste that would normally be produced in the production process. From the fabric walls to the custom logo featured prominently throughout, it was all done with the thought that saving the planet doesn’t have to mean settling for less.
Our custom designed environmentally friendly trade show displays feature:
Recycled Aluminum Tubing
Earth Friendly Fabric Graphics
Lightweight Construction For Inexpensive Shipping
Easy Setup
Custom Design & Graphics
The Ability To Create Any Shape And Mood Desired!
Optional Programmable LED Lights
Earth Day is time for us all to come together on a global scale to give back what we often take away without a second thought.

We’ve said it so many times and we will say it again, a custom designed trade show display will do amazing things for your sales. With a look that is the perfect match for your business, there is no limit to what can be accomplished thanks to some help from Godfrey’s amazing design team. While our displays will definitely get people in to see what you are all about, what happens next is up to you. This week we are going to focus on ways to better ensure that every customer is a success by reviewing some different techniques anyone in sales should know.
Today we are going to focus on the voice; after that custom design display has wowed them and the customer is ready to hear your pitch, the way you speak and use your words can lead to the beginning of a beautiful friendship or to a quick not interested.
Tone- Anyone that has ever had a significant other in their life knows that an incorrect tone can change a discussion into an argument at the drop of a hat. So many times sales people mess up by not choosing how they say their words properly. If you’ve been told before that you have a bad tone or need some advice, ask a friend that is willing to be honest with you and take their advice on how to change.
The pitch- Have you ever tried to learn something from someone that ums and uhs the whole time? Um today I would like to uhhh tell you um about uhhh this new product that ummm will save you money. The pitch is everything in sales and it needs to be practiced continuously until it can be delivered without a bunch of ums and uhhhs getting in the way. Be careful though all that practice might make you sound like you are reading from a script and that could cause you to fail to make a connection with the customer.
Emphasize and be energized- I’m a loud talker. I can’t help but shout everywhere I go. For some people this can be a big problem as nobody wants to get the sense they are being yelled at. Pay attention to the overall sound in the room and adjust your voice to fit that environment. At the same time remember to emphasize and stress those words that are meant to have an impact. The last thing you want it to bore someone away from your booth because you mumbled and spoke in a monotone voice.

This Thursday is that special day of the year where the rivers turn green, everyone suddenly remembers their Irish heritage, and we all wear the same color to work. St. Patrick’s Day is upon us once again and that means everyone will go green for at least one day. While in this case going green takes on a whole new meaning more closely associated with leprechauns and four leaf clovers, why not take advantage of the day by showing those around you how much you care about the environment at the same time? For business owners who regularly attend trade shows across the U.S. and the rest of the world, why not celebrate this St. Patrick’s Day by turning your trade show display into an all green event.
Environmentally Friendly Trade Show Display
Always on the cutting edge of trade show exhibit design, Godfrey has taken that idea of what a standard trade show display should be and completely turned it into an environmentally friendly work of art. In the past trade show displays have been bulky, hard to transport, unimaginative at times, and anything but good for the planet; those days are over thanks our environmentally friendly trade show displays that feature such earthy friendly options such as:
*minimal construction
*recycled aluminum tubing
*earth friendly fabric graphics
*ultra-light materials
Plus those traditional techniques that so many trade show displays are known for are still there only now they are done in a way as to help the environment. This means that those same amazing designs and custom graphics that you have come to expect from Godfrey can still be had. This St. Patrick’s Day show your love for green not by chugging back a pint, but by saving the planet!

Here we are finally making it to Friday, all set to make every second of the coming weekend count and yet once again most of the country is faced with literally feet of snow ruining everything in its path. The past two months have been nothing but one winter storm after the other, a trend that doesn’t seem to be showing any signs of slowing down despite what that pesky Puxatony Phil says. According to a recent weather report from CNN just this week “Parts of Oklahoma had received up to 12 inches of snow, according to the state Department of Emergency Management. Wind chills were 10 to 30 degrees below zero in some areas, and authorities were urging people to stay off the roads. Some 80 people in Oklahoma had been injured as a result of the storm, the state Department of Health said Wednesday. That total included 63 falls, one carbon monoxide poisoning, 14 injuries in traffic accidents and two “cut/pierce injuries.”
Like it or not more than ever, this year winter is an unmovable force that must be dealt with. A force that demands to be reckoned with. That cannot be overlooked or dismissed with the wave of a hand. If you think about it this is exactly what you want from a trade show display; something that creates buzz around a conference center, makes people stand up and take notice of who you are, that hooks into them and refuses to let go until they check out exactly what you have to offer. A display that WOW’s the crowd and opens their wallets.
We’ve all been to those events where after one walk around the room, you’re left feeling like you’ve seen everything a thousand times before and really wouldn’t have missed anything had you decided to stay home. Godfrey isn’t in the business of creating these types of boring displays. Give us the chance and what you will soon discover is that we have the tools to create for you a custom built trade show exhibit that is guaranteed to stop consumers in their tracks and stand in line to find out what amazing things are being offered.
If you are in the market for a custom built trade show display take a cue from Old Man Winter and let Godfrey design for you a display that will leave the crowd breathless!

In a lot of ways putting on a great trade show appearance is like producing a play. It may sound like a stretch but just think of the last trade show you attended and all the different things large and small that needed to be handled before the doors were opened signaling the beginning of the big event. Although the trade show will only last a few days the list of things that need to be done months in advance include:
*Locking in the date you will be attending
*Planning what you will be showing to the public.
*Making travel plans such as what flights to take and what hotels will offer the best rate
*Inventory needs to be stocked
*Potential customers in the area need to called on so they know where they can find you and what you will be offering.
*Employees to need be made aware of what will be expected
All of this and a ton of other decisions must be made before you even get to the conference center. Once there the production really kicks into high gear as all that planning pays off and a thousand more issues raise their ugly head. The event is going to last longer than originally thought, do you have enough product? The event planner stuck you in a spot where no one will be able to find you, is there a possibility to be moved? Where is the best place to put your additional signage such as posters or information displays? During those first hours of every trade show chaos rules and that’s why Godfrey prides itself on making sure that with all that is going on around you the last thing you have to worry about is your custom built display.
Regardless of if we are talking about an outdoor tent, an indoor grand format fabric structure, a custom built workstation, or an simple sampling kiosk, with the help of our designers and personal project managers the last thing you are going to have to worry about is how well your custom built trade show exhibit will stand up to the competition and how difficult it will be to install. So remember the next time you begin planning your schedule, get with Godfrey and enjoy the feeling of having one less thing to worry about.

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!!!!!
