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.

When discussing those affected by the most recent downturn in the economy, mall department stores have surely been among the hardest hit. So called anchor stores such as JcPenny, Dillards, Sears, and Belk are just a few of the big name retailers that before the downturn could be found in most malls all across America, yet now have left huge gaps in retail space as they were forced to make some unfortunate decisions regarding the number of stores they could maintain. Thankfully it appears that there very well may be some light at the end of the tunnel as one recent report suggests that shoppers are slowly but surely making their way back to the malls and bringing with them a much needed influx of cash. According to Fortune, anchor stores reached a milestone of sorts in 2010 by increasing their market share for the first time since the 80′s. President of Customer Growth Partners Craig Johnson explained that although the growth was small it was having a huge impact on the industry saying “Even though it was only a tenth of a share point, for department stores, that is a huge change. This is a real turn in the market. We’re optimistic that the momentum is just gathering.”
This recent upward tick doesn’t just represent a significant event for big name stores such as Macy’s and Nordstrom’s, consider that for every anchor store located in a mall there are typically 10-20 smaller business who have been experiencing the same economic issues but with much more dire consequences due to the lack of a larger corporation to help them stay afloat. If you are one of those mom and pop style small business owners who have somehow managed to make ends meet until the shoppers return, then now more than ever you need to make sure that when they walk through your doors they are hit with some of the most amazing designs they have ever seen.
From full scale portable showcases, to custom designed fixtures, to enticing window displays, Godfrey is here to help you answer the call off all those consumers who are finally making their way back to those very same malls that once cherished so dear. Don’t wait for those stores around you to do it first, get a jump on the competition and be ready to see you sales rise thanks to a little bit of redesigning from Godfrey.

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.

It used to be that what happened in the rest of the world either never affected us here in the U.S. or took several months or years. The world was a bigger place where few traveled outside of their circles and distant places were nothing more than a clip on a news real or a tale told of on the radio. In today’s age however a sudden earthquake in South America can have economic consequences felt as far away as Moscow within seconds as we all find ourselves living on a much smaller planet thanks to the internet and modern technology. A prime example of this is unfortunately taking place this very week as three separate events are making things tougher on businesses all around the globe. In Egypt the outbreak of civil war has shot oil prices over $100 a barrel leaving those that travel feeling the pinch of another round of price increases on everything from fuel to airplane tickets. Meanwhile one of the most powerful cyclones in recent history slammed into the eastern coast of Australia at the same time yet another winter storm hit the already frozen U.S., combined the two sent sugar prices to a thirty year high and drove up grain prices worldwide.
With the cost of traveling reaching new heights and food prices trending upwards, the already hard to budget for trade show just got that much harder to justify. It’s with this in mind that today we at Godfrey would like to present to you three displays that will save you money while still offering the same quality custom designed features you’ve come to expect from our amazing trade show displays.
Fabric Pop Up Displays- The key to transporting a display for the budget minded is to maximize the display while minimizing the amount of space it takes up when not in use. Made from ultra-light materials that instantly spring to life when extended out, a fabric pop up display does just that i.e. pop to life in seconds giving you an out of this world trade show display complete with custom graphics in a wide variety of styles and designs
Briefcase Table Top Display- Don’t let the fact that this briefcase table top display folds up into the size of your standard brief case fool you. Made to cut down on travel expenses while still giving you the highest quality look imaginable, combined with a custom table skirt these are some of the most amazing yet cost efficient displays on the market today.
Demo Pedestals- One of the best products in Godfrey’s extensive line of displays, the demo pedestal may just be the ultimate small scale display. What makes these some of the most cost efficient displays on the market are their ability to literally transform into a shipping container and then back to a professional custom designed pedestal in a matter of seconds thanks to an easy to attach fabric wrap.

Recently my family and I had the opportunity to visit the McWane Science Center in Birmingham, Al. The three story building which is tucked away among banks, brokerage firms, and other offices downtown, is one of the many hidden gems in the city. For my four year old it was a dream come true. Unlike other museums which encourage silence and strolling from one exhibit to the next, the McWane Center has only one rule and that’s nothing is off limits in terms of what you can touch, pull, push, or throw. The completely interactive museum is everything that you would expect from what is essentially a business trying to get people in the door. Like the McWane Science Center in order to grow and encourage consumers to spend their hard earned money, today’s business must put aside the old ways of simply describing what their product does and instead give them complete access to experience the item firsthand.
It used to be the case not too long ago that in order to convince consumers that a product would change their lives, all a company would need to do is invest in a pedestal, an information booth to hold a few brochures, and a good pitchman. Times have changed though and with them trade shows are no longer filled with well suited guys spreading the charm and instead feature full scale putt putt golf courses, interactive audio video displays, not to mention chances to win big with such guaranteed crowd pleasers such as cash closets or spin to win games. In order to win a potential customer over they need to be able to touch, taste, and test the product so they know that what they are looking at is the latest thing that they can’t live without. Consumers want a chance to get on Facebook or Twitter to find out what others have to say about your product. They need to Google the latest news and reviews before they dish out the cash.
If you are a small business owner or trade show vendor looking to make a stronger impression while increasing sales, then the time has come to give your customers what they want with a fully customized interactive trade show display from Godfrey featuring the hottest designs on the market today!

Ask any one of the thousands of victims of workplace crime and you are sure to learn that workplace violence is real and happens every day. According to the National Center for Victims of Crime:
*In 2007, 12.7 percent of violent crimes and 14.7 percent of property crimes were committed against victims who were at work or on duty at the time, amounting to 621,450 violent crimes and more than 2.5 million property victimizations.[1][1]
*Of the 621,450 violent crimes committed in the workplace in 2007, 492,790 were simple assaults, 97,830 were aggravated assaults, 23,270 were robberies, and 7,550 were rapes or sexual assaults.[2][2]
*Nearly 80 percent of workplace homicides are committed by criminals otherwise unconnected to the workplace.
For business owners large and small all across the country keeping their employees safe is quickly becoming a major concern and expense. While such things as security officers and high tech alarms certainly work, for those looking for a little extra security Godfrey just might be able to help. It might sound simple but a kiosk with touch screen monitor, printer, and phone line could help you keep your entire facility safe for little expense. A custom designed professional kiosk from Godfrey will greet your visitors as they walk in the door and offer them direction as to how to seek employment, contact individuals inside the facility, and make an appointment if unexpected. What it will ultimately do best though is act as an additional form of security by helping screen individuals and keep them out of the areas where they may possibly harm your employees.
In today’s world you can’t be too careful when it comes to personal safety at home or at work. That’s why it so important to not take safety for granted and take every possible step necessary to ensure the well being of your employees. A custom designed kiosk from Godfrey may just be the thing that stops your office from becoming another statistic.

Last week Anaheim Convention Center in always sunny Anaheim, California was the home of the annual National Association of Music Merchants (NAMM) trade show. The event which is unfortunately not open to the public drew a crowd of over 90,000 and caught some headlines thanks to a one of a kind music set that is has everyone across the country talking. It all went down Wednesday when former Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee and rumored 2012 Republican presidential candidate got the chance of a lifetime to pick up a guitar and play a couple songs with legendary Def Leppard guitarist Phil Collen. Huckabee was at the trade show in support of their commitment to keep music education in schools. The former Governor turned Fox New talk show host described this year’s NAMM trade show as “musician’s heaven”
Soon after the jam session took place the video went viral and within seconds millions all around the world that had never heard of the trade show event were suddenly checking out the NAMM video. As one can imagine this kind of advertising is priceless, yet isn’t anything that can’t be done by any other trade show vendor on the circuit today. The trick is giving the people something they have never seen before such as a one of a kind display that is sure to knock them off their socks. Imagine the type of response you could receive by letting Godfrey help you design a custom built display such as a submarine complete with a periscope, portholes, video monitors, and computer kiosks that are specifically designed to engage the customer. How about an eco-friendly trade show display with a center tower topped with fire and surrounded by monitors showing off your hottest products.
Sure it helps to have a movie star or legend of rock handy, but when one of those isn’t waiting in the wings a quality built custom designed trade show display from Godfrey is sure to get people talking!

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.
