That cold snap that came through the last couple of nights really did a number on your pipes. You got up to take a shower this morning an you immediately noticed the change in water pressure. As that sick feeling began to take over, you slowly made the march towards the basement already aware of what you would find waiting for you at the bottom of those dark stairs….moments later phone in hand you do what must be done and that’s call a plumber for help with the 5 inches of water that is quickly rising.
All that running a around trying to get the plumbing fixed left you exposed to the elements which in turn made you a prime target for the flu. Within days you’re running a fever of a 105, can’t hold anything down, and can’t afford to use any more sick days. As much as you hate it, the only choice is to call the family doctor and get back on the path to good health.
Meanwhile the water that was filling the basement went from 5 inches to 10 by the time the plumber finally made it. The result left a crack in your foundation which won’t easily be fixed. A call to your home insurance agent gets a time setup to meet and a promise that it’s not as bad as you think. As he hangs up the phone the agent promises you that things will be back to normal in no time and the claim should go smoothly.
Just like in the scenarios above, at some point a problem gets so out of hand that we all must seek help from the professionals. For small business owners trying desperately to see the light at the end of that long economic tunnel, The Godfrey Group is here to help when you need us the most. From our expert design team who go out to their way to ensure your satisfaction to our display rental program which makes it easier than ever to try new ideas to our extensive library of designs with tons of concepts to choose from, we understand how tough the market is these days and we’re here to help. Whether it be an outdoor tent covered in your own personal logo, an information display with tons of room for pamphlets and brochures, or an easy to transport simple to install popup display; regardless of what your needs are if you are having trouble creating sales than it’s time to call the professionals and let Godfrey save the day!

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!!

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.

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?

It appears that
Election Day 2010 is fully upon us as millions of voters will go to the polls tomorrow and choose the leaders that will guide this country for into the coming years. With over 100 House seats and 37 governors up for election, 2010 has been witness to one of the most costly and hard fought political seasons in decades. According to a CNN/Opinion Research survey “
A new national poll released Monday showed the number of Americans who say things are going badly in the country, at 75 percent, is higher than it has been on the eve of any mid-term election since the question was first asked in the mid-1970s.” Needless to say some very tough choices will made on Tuesday, thankfully when it comes to deciding the best company to help you promote your company Godfrey is the clear winner.
Outdoor Banner Stands

Featuring collapsible aluminum supports, dual sided graphics, and easy installation we have some of the best quality outdoor banners on the market today. Plus Godfrey now offers window banners for mall and retail outlets!
Pedestals, Kiosks, & Workstations
With plenty to choose from including sample & demo pedestals, computer kiosks, event tents, and information displays, there’s nothing Godfrey can’t do when it comes to designing the display perfect for your company. In addition to this, for those that are looking to add to an existing display, we also offer several display add-ons that are sure to make any exhibit look brand new again.
Video & Audio Displays
Some of the most high tech and innovative audio video displays available can be brought to life at your next trade show with a little help from Godfrey. We have the ability to integrate your video message into a wide variety of displays. Not to mention we offer freestanding video and audio presentation packages proven to create a stir at any event.

We started this week out talking about how the time to get ready for next spring and all of those highly anticipated outdoor events is now. Designing a quality outdoor display with tons of style that is custom made to your specifications takes time. While it may seem as simple as picking up the phone and placing an order, in actuality the design process at Godfrey is such that the customer is involved in every step of the process from start to finish. That’s why if you’re a company that makes the bulk of its sales traveling from one outdoor event to the next, the winter months are the perfect time of the year to get all the prep work out of the way so you can hit the road when the warm weather returns.
So far this week we’ve discussed Godfrey’s line of outdoor signs and banners, in addition to several styles of kiosks and tents all designed to make your display the center of attention at any event. Today we want to wrap things up by talking about our Instant Promo/Sampling Stations which may seem small but in fact make a huge impact.
Perfect for high traffic areas that offer little space, instant promo stands give you maximum exposure at a minimum cost.
Key features include:
*Full color graphic wraps perfect for branding
*Optional Velcro receptive panels that can be changed instantly
*Tons of storage
*Counter Space perfect for offering samples or literature
*A customized canopy top
*Canvas tote bag for easy transport
Plus the instant promo station is also available in the uniquely shaped extra wide version with optional rounded header!
For vendors looking for something even smaller and easier on the budget, Godfrey now offers the Simple Sampler Economy Pedestal. Essentially a knock down plastic pedestal, the economy pedestal is made of aluminum header poles attached to a classic white fold up counter topped off with a custom header board. In addition to this a full color graphic wrap for the base is also offered to help add to the custom look of the station.
If you are the market of the perfect outdoor display, the time to order is today!

Every summer all across the country at fairs and outdoor trade shows, vendors put their best foot forward as they attempt to sell everything from brand new cars to out of this world corndogs. With cold weather just around the corner many of these events will be moving indoors, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to forget about those tents and booths. In fact right now just may be the most important time of the year for outdoor vendors who are looking to change things up and make a huge splash come spring time.
3 Types of Outdoor Displays
Mushroom Kiosk- Complete with a canopy top and tons of counter space, the Mushroom Kiosk is both functional and professional in appearance. A fabric top and counter wrap only add this kiosks unique design.
Dome Kiosk- Similar to the Mushroom, the Dome Kiosk excels in blending the bottom of the structure with the top in a way that is sure to turn heads. Easily transported and folded down into two cases, the Dome Kiosk is available in 6.5′ and 9′ models.
Event Tents- From the standard 10′x10′ canopy style to the amazing Tent Cluster which is actually four canopy tents combined all under a large market umbrella, Godfrey has turned the idea of an event tent and turned it into a unique work of art. Full color printed pole wraps only add to the customized look of these outdoor displays.
Godfrey also offers a wide variety of inflatable displays and props including the humongous AirFlatable Event Pavilion. With a 40′ diameter it’s any wonder this is one of the largest inflatable pavilions on the market today. Featuring 10 arched doorways, fully digital print skin, a variety of different door ways to choose from, and the same quality custom graphics you’ve come to expect from Godfrey; the Airflatiable is exactly what you want on at your next outdoor event.
Before the weather gets warm again and you find yourself struggling to attraction attention to your outdoor booth, contact Godfrey today and be ready to make a splash at your next outdoor event.
