Over the course of researching what I want to share on this blog over the course of a week, I continuously catch myself thinking that I’ve seen everything that Godfrey can do only to be surprised yet again by something amazing that I never knew about. This week alone I’ve shared with you the perfect tent for outdoor events and gone over some of the benefits of offering your trade show visitors a chance to sit and take a break in a set of classic looking scoop-back seats. I’m always bragging about our pop-up displays and grand fabric structures. From poster frames, to table wraps, to LED displays, to inflatable props; Godfrey just never seems to run out of designs to meet your needs. What you may not know is that my latest discovery of what Godfrey offers just might change the way you plan your next trade show event.
Before I share my new find I want to discuss just how easy it is to start working on your custom display. The first thing you need of course is an idea. Do you want something large and elaborate or are you looking for something small that can quickly be taken down to carry with you? Once you have a basic idea of what you want it’s time to meet your personal project manager. This is the person who will help you take your idea and turn it into a fully customized display. Together you will work out the basics, come up with a concept, and from there everything is sent to our design team. The design staff takes what you and your project manager have done so far and turns those ideas into something tangible that will be submitted to you for approval. Once this is complete it’s just a matter of time before your custom display is built. During this process you will be notified regularly about what progress is being made and you will even receive pictures of how everything is coming together.
Next comes that amazing discovery I mentioned above that just proves that Godfrey is the best at what they do. Along with your display you will have access to a support manager that will actually accompany you to the tradeshow and help you setup your booth. That’s right! Godfrey actually has a team of job managers that will show up and make sure everything is installed just as you ordered. And it doesn’t stop there! In b
etween shows you can even ship us back the display where we can then service, refresh the graphics, or even upgrade your design!
From start to finish and long after the show is over, Godfrey is here to give you the tools you need to make your next event the largest ever! Call us now and get your project manager working on a new design today!!

I spent all of last week talking about what could be accomplished with the use of Godfrey’s Grand Format Fabric Structures. This week I want to go in the opposite direction and talk about how less can sometimes mean more. A few years back I became interested in log cabins and dove headfirst into all the unique designs that today’s log cabin designers were making available to the general public. That’s when I first heard about Jim Shafer and his tiny home. I had forgot about Jim until this weekend when I came across a recent interview posted on Yahoo. What makes Mr. Shafer so special is that back in 1997 he decided to downgrade his living space. By downgrade I mean Mr. Shafer got rid of the majority of his possessions and moved into an 89 square foot cabin. All these years later Jim Shafer now runs Tumble Weed Tiny Houses a firm that specializes in designing tiny homes for those that live by the motto “Less Is More”. Jim’s success is a perfect example of how something small can lead to huge success; another example of this our line of Podium Shipping Cases.
Any salesman will tell you that the more people you see, the better your chances are of making a sell. If what you are selling requires some type of demonstration, than there is a definite need to be able to assemble and tear down a display quickly so that you can get to your next appointment in good time. Regardless of if you are traveling from company to company within the same city or plane hopping across the country, a good portable display needs to be tough, easy to use, and functional. What makes these Podium Shipping Cases so unique is that what you are getting is a sturdy shipping case that is able to take a licking and when stood on end becomes a professional looking podium perfect for those who make their livings by giving presentations. Though the shipping case initially looks like other cases on today’s market, what makes this case so special is that inside it carriers a fabric wrap that quickly snaps snugly around the outside giving you just that extra touch of class.
One of the key philosophies preached by Jim Shafer is that all the clutter, all the extras, all the flash and grandeur of today’s homes at least for some is exactly that….needless stuff that takes up space. If you are somebody that needs to be as mobile as possible at all times, that hates the thought of packing things up and hitting the road with tons of packaging following behind you, and likes the idea of having everything you need for that next big client meeting all wrapped up in one case….a Podium Shipping Case is the more than you’ve ever dreamed of.

In the course of writing this blog I’ve mentioned more than once that one key to being successful is to make sure the theme of the trade show is a good fit for your product. While I still believe this, a recent article in of all places Entertainment Weekly has me changing my tune at least slightly. The article is all about this year’s Comic Con show in San Diego July 22-25. Any pop culture fanatic will tell you that Comic Con isn’t your average comic-book convention, it’s the most anticipated event of the entire year. With over 125,000 people showing up for the three day event, this year’s organizers have put together a list of exhibits that goes beyond the realm of comic-books. In fact this year’s show will feature over 40 booths that are not to tied to comics at all such as televisions shows like Glee, Castle, and Hawaii-Five-O.
With all of these seemingly unrelated vendors showing up, I have to ask “When registering for a spot at a trade show, is being different always bad?” If you ask me the answer isn’t a clear yes or no, but like most things somewhere in the middle. If you are in the business of selling wrenches then a rug show is not the place to popup a tent for the weekend. However if it’s a car show where mechanics and automobile lovers alike will be visiting in hordes, then chances are you might do well. In other words there’s nothing wrong with being different as long as there’s a common thread to connect you with the other vendors attending the show. An island exhibit featuring a new high-tech wrench at a car show works because car lovers love to work on their cars, but the same display has no place at a rug show because the demographic is different. Likewise Comic Con is all about the most talked about television shows, movies, books, as well as comics so regardless if the vendor features a new cop show, sitcom, or drama the buzz is what connects them.
Being different is a classic double edge sword. Standing out can be a good thing if what you are offering has a base connection to the overall theme of the trade show. By the same token though being too different will only leave you high and dry as those attending the event keep their focus on what attracted them to the show to start with.

As we’ve shown over the past few weeks specifically in talking about such products as our inflatables and rubber floor tiles; Godfrey sells more than just a wide range of kiosks and pop-up displays. In fact no matter how big or small the event, our products are proven to increase sales and give our customers the edge they need to stand out from the crowd. Today I want to highlight one of these products that while a definite asset to anyone planning to attend a trade show, is the perfect fit for smaller venues where it’s just you and handful of people present. Believe it or not I’m talking about Table Throws and how you can turn an ordinary table into a professional looking display with the Godfrey touch.
Even as I write this on college campuses, in shopping malls and retail stores, in conference rooms and break rooms, all across the country presentations are being given on anything and everything imaginable. Corporations are laying out their new insurance benefits to their employees. Credit card companies are attempting to reach out to students on their way to class. Banks are offering their latest rates in hopes of setting up tons of new checking and savings accounts. Each of these are being done with little fan fair or much in the way of elaborate setups. Most of the time the entire presentation is given in front of a simple fold out table with a few brochures laying about. Well why not take that Plain Jane table add a professional looking custom made full length Table Throw and turn that presentation into something guaranteed to catch every one’s eye.
Far more than just an ordinary table cloth, these Table Throws are one-piece table covers made of fabric that covers all sides of the display table, are made of wrinkle-resistant polyester twill, and are available blank with no imprint or with one, two or full-color graphic prints. In addition to Table Throws, Godfrey also offers the TranZibit Portable Trade Show Table with optional table skirt. Together these two amazing products can be easily transported, require little room in terms of storing between presentations, and will help you avoid those risky situations where you arrive to find that setup materials have not been provided.
If you’re someone who is continuously giving presentations at smaller single company events or if you’re a trade show regular looking to add an extra touch to your display, Table Throws are just what you need to turn that ordinary table into on extraordinary display.
