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.

Unless you’ve been living in a cave for the past three years, you’ve heard about Facebook and probably have better things to do anyway like protecting your family from a T-Rex or something. For the rest of us who can’t help but check our walls every five minutes of the day and feel compelled to let the world know that we ate too much Chinese food for lunch, Facebook is more than just another website it’s our way of constantly staying in touch with the pulse of the world. Imagine a day very soon in our children’s lives in which they literally never lose touch with anyone. For us adults high school friends haven’t been seen in twenty years; for our children, friends new and old will always only be a click away. If you’re a small business owner looking to promote yourself in this tough economy Facebook may just be the answer to those prayers.
Five Ways To Promote Via Facebook
Let the world know you have arrived- You just got to that trade show event that has been hyped so much only to find that A) it’s sooooo crowded nobody can find anyone in the maze of booths or B) it’s dead and nobody is walking the isles. Luckily you’ve just started up a Facebook page and over the past few months have been collecting a steady stream of followers which can also be considered potential customers. Immediately you pull out your smartphone and start taking pictures of your custom designed trade show exhibit complete with hanging banners and large video monitors. Within seconds you’ve told the world where you are and what to look forward when they arrive.
Videos can be instant commercials- For those that are unable to make it to that trade show or for simply showing off your new portable showroom designs, Facebook allows you to post video of your company in action. Plus Facebook is essentially an internet phone tree. For example say you post a video and one of your 300 followers says they liked it. Now not only have you shown that new showroom interior to your 300 followers, but that instantly doubles to include the 300 followers of the person that left the comment, then the number doubles again as more and more people comment on your original video.
Give customers 15 minutes of fame- While at that trade show posting videos about how great and exciting your trade show display looks, take the time to catch some visitors on camera and let them share in the limelight. There’s nothing people like more than some individual attention and getting on the on the web is the same as putting that spotlight right on them.
Don’t discount the power of Facebook- One new trend in business in terms of using Facebook to gain a competitive edge, is the concept of offering followers Facebook only discounts. From an extra 10% off on football tickets to free appetizers at your favorite restaurant, retailers big and small are learning that rewarding their loyal followers can quickly mean big business.

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
The Oval Pedestal- Need a standard pedestal with tons of options? We’ve got it. Sizes range from a top of 18″x36″ and 40″ tall to 30″x60″ top at a height of 40″.
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!

It’s officially Black Friday and shoppers everywhere across the country are camping out in line for the hottest deals of the season. Neither rain, sleet, nor snow kept people in their beds this morning as they braved the early hours, endless lines, and hordes of people just itching to get their hands on that must have item of the year. According to those in the know, the history of Black Friday goes back over forty years; “The term “Black Friday” was coined in the 1960s to mark the kickoff to the Christmas shopping season. “Black” refers to stores moving from the “red” to the “black,” back when accounting records were kept by hand, and red ink indicated a loss, and black a profit. Ever since the start of the modern Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade in 1924, the Friday after Thanksgiving has been known as the unofficial start to a bustling holiday shopping season.”
While Black Friday is definitely worth battling the early hours and out of control crowds for consumers, for vendors fighting to get their attention everyday has the possibility of setting sales records thanks to 2 amazing displays.
TechForm Aluminum Extrusion Exhibit System
How many times have you found yourself walking out of the mall or towards the checkout line and suddenly locked in on a new gadget that will change your life. Some of the most sold items on the market are found near the exits as consumers simply can’t avoid last second spontaneous buys. The TechForm Exhibit System is built for just those types of items. Featuring Velcro receptive fabric panels, halogen arm lights, a four tier center shelving module, and two side wall extensions with built in racks made to hang products such as shirts, jackets, etc….the TechForm System is a sure bet for those looking to attract some major attention and capitalize on last minute spontaneous shoppers.
ShowTopper Panel System
For vendors wanting more of a showroom style design with tons of shelving space and room for additional options such as an information booth or audio/video display, the ShowTopper is the show stopper. Along with full color custom graphics featuring your company’s name and logo emblazoned all around, the 20′ version includes three 6 figure panel displays with top riser panels, five backlit headers, eight straight shelves, and eight wedge shelves!! Talk about room for inventory, this is the perfect design for vendors looking to put as much variety in front of the consumer as possible.

Wouldn’t be nice if picking out a trade show display was as easy as going through the line at a fast food restaurant? You drive up to the menu. The lady comes over the microphone and asks what you want. Not sure as to what you are in the mood for, you ask for a few moments to make a final decision. Maybe you would like a grand format fabric display with custom logos. It’s been awful cold outside lately, it might be nice to have a portable banner to sit out front and save you from having to pay someone to stand out there for you. You’ve got that fantastic video demo that really catches everyone’s attention, a custom kiosk with built in video/audio inserts would be perfect….finally you make your decision. “I’ll take the Spacestation pop-up with a pedestal and information booth on the side.” All that is left now is to drive forward and load everything in the back.
This may seem like a pipe dream, but believe it or not when you order from Godfrey the reality is that it’s not too far a stretch. When you click on the Godfrey Design Gallery the first thing you will notice is a menu to the left with several different design elements to choose from including:
*Counters, pedestals, and sampling stands
*Fabric structures & Fabric Graphics
*Video & Audio Displays
*Props & Games
*Green & Eco-Friendly Displays
Once you determined what size you want from choices such as inlay displays, island displays, table tops, or showroom & retail environments the next step is to figure out what size. Then it’s on to literally hundreds of options each giving you yet another idea at just what can be accomplished by Godfrey. A personal project manager is waiting to help you get started while a designer is eager to step you through the entire process including regular updates and pictures via email. Still not sure what you want? No problem as we are always willing to work with you to make sure you get exactly the display to fit your needs. How’s that for fast service?

If you haven’t been looking out your window lately, I don’t blame you. All those beautiful yellows, browns, reds, and golds that signaled the change from one season to another are just about gone. Fall has fallen and what is left is nothing but gray skies and white snow. It’s enough to make the most cheerful among us feeling a little blue. Luckily there is a way to turn those frowns upside down and all it takes is a little change in atmosphere. According to David Johnson author of Color Psychology, colors play a significant role in how we feel about something. Below are some facts you might find surprising about several of the basic colors:
Black- Signifies color, strength power
White- Gives off a sense of purity and innocence.
Red- Creates feelings of fun, intensity, heat, desire. Red is fast and gets people noticed
Purple- Feelings of wealth, luxury, and romance are all associated with this color
Brown- Nature is most often associated with this color which signifies earth, home, warmth.
For trade show vendors and retailers alike color psychology could be the key to higher sales. What colors do you see when picturing a trade show? The convention centers are always tan. Tan paint, tan carpet, tan furniture…all geared toward making you feel warm and at home during your stay. As a vendor though what you want is something that screams “Look at me! You are missing the time of your life by passing me by!” The same holds true for retailers who must find a way to lure consumers out of their warm cars, through the dark and dreary streets, and into their store. By adding brightly colored banners to your store front or trade show exhibit, you are helping to create as sense of joy, happiness, and an urgency to cash in on the latest deal before it’s too late.
When it comes to which color to fit the mood you want your customers in, thanks to Godfrey the sky is the limit. With over fifty different colors to choose from we are not only masters of the custom built trade show exhibit; we keep in you in the loop by sending updates and pictures every step of the way. If all you want to see at your next trade show event is the color green, get with Godfrey where we are always in the mood to help make you a success!
