Looking for a dependable trade show display? We’ve got it covered!

Monday, December 13th, 2010

There are few things in this life that you can depend on. The smell of mom’s pot roast as you walk in from church on Sunday morning. The quick jab from your little brother you haven’t seen in a while. A snowman being built within hours of that first snow fall. When talking business these things we rely on become even rarer; a yearly raise, paid holidays a few times year, a free turkey at Thanksgiving. It’s nice to know that no matter what happens there will always be a cup of coffee waiting for you at the office in the morning.

Godfrey understands the need for those creature comforts we depend on so much, especially during those times when you are on the road attending a trade show. This  why we go out of our way to make every display we sell as simple, easy, and of course dependable as possible so that no matter what happens on your way there, you will always know that the last thing you need to worry about is how your exhibit will look.

Whether we are talking about our out of this world Space Station pop-ups which literally come to life in seconds, table top displays that have the ability to turn a simple folding table into an award deserving exhibit, or outdoor tents and kiosks which are sure to turn the heads of all those scores of visitors that will be walking past; Godfrey has exactly what you are looking for.

By the time you deal with all the packing, unpacking, traveling, locating and checking into the hotel, the last thing you want to deal with is a complex display that requires a PHD to assemble. With Godfrey you can set your worries aside and know that just as the sky is blue you will have the best custom designed display up and ready to go in seconds.

How To Politely Present Your Product To Customers

Friday, July 23rd, 2010

Today I want to wrap up our series all about how smaller displays don’t always mean you have to settle for smaller profits. Up to this point we’ve discussed the easy to transform and take with you podium shipping case, took a look at what a simple stand alone portable workstation with monitor mount can do for you, and today we are going in a slightly different direction with some thoughts about how the smallest of gestures can make a huge impact. Nobody likes a pushy salesman. You could have the greatest product in the world guaranteed to revolutionize all of civilization and if you come across as too pushy, unsympathetic, and rude you’re not going to have the same results as the other guy who is out there being as polite and helpful as he possibly can. It doesn’t matter you’re standing in front of one of the most state-of-the-art exhibits ever to be showcased at a trade show or simply sweating it out under a single kiosk tent at some country fair, for a majority of consumers how a product is presented is just as important as what is being presented.

3 Key Tips To Politely Present Your Product To Customers

1. Look Them In The Eye And Show Them You Care About What They Think. Notice this doesn’t say, “act like you care what they think.” People can spot when somebody is being fake and pretending to show interest in them just to get into their wallets. When meeting somebody for the first time, learn their name as well as some information about them such as where they are from or what they do for a living. Let them know who you are and how you think that what you are selling could do wonders for them. Try to maintain eye contact as much as possible so they know they have your full attention.

2. Be Graceful and Don’t Come Off As Greedy. It’s no secret to anyone attending that the reason you are standing in front of the custom designed fabric wall is because your job is to sell, sell, sell so don’t knock them over the head with it. Delivering your message without appearing that you are begging for a sale can easily be done. Remember to use the information you have gathered from the the customer up to that point to show them how your product could best suit their needs. Understandably things get hectic at times, but it could be something as simple as a handshake or friendly smile that gets the customers attention and leads them to finding out more about you.

3. Close With Class. Regardless of whether or not a sale is made, there comes a time when you’ve done all you could do and it either had the desired effect or you failed to hit your mark. If it’s the later don’t throw your hands in the air and send the customer on their way with little more than a wave goodbye. Some people will never jump into buying a product immediately no matter how good a deal it appears they are getting. They need time to kick things over in their heads, check with their spouse, or research what you are offering online. Before they leave though make sure to have them write down their name and contact info so you can follow up at a later time. This will give them the freedom to make their selves feel comfortable about what you showed them so that when you do call they are more inclined to commit.

What this whole discussion about whether bigger is better or less is more all boils down to is delivery. The most environmentally friendly display on the market won’t get you anywhere if you are rude and appear to be greedy. Likewise something as simple as one sales rep giving a presentation behind a podium or in front of a literature display will remain just that i.e. alone if he/she does not come across as genuine and compassionate.

Portable Workstations: Sometimes Less Is More

Wednesday, July 21st, 2010

This week we are talking about how smaller displays don’t always mean smaller sales or less impact. Today I want to take this thought and give you an example of how this can translate into a trade show environment. By now you know that Godfrey has everything you need from giant fabric structures to stand alone literature displays to outdoor inflatables, but what about a simple display that requires little in terms of involvement by an onsite salesman. I’m talking about a portable workstation with monitor mount and lockable storage compartment.

Imagine walking through a crowded trade show; everywhere you turn you see sales people blasting out their sales pitches to anyone in ear shot. Flashes of light and color coming from all directions accompany the teeth shattering pulse of the music as it blasts overhead. If you didn’t know better you might think that you were actually visiting one of the cities trendiest night clubs. Then suddenly off the side something catches your eye. It could be the overhead banner that promises a one of a kind experience for anyone that is interested in trying something new. It could the lone salesman as he stands smiling greeting those that walk by in a polite yet unobtrusive manner. Then again what might actually be catching your attention is the monitor station behind him with its sleek curved design, custom graphics promising something new is waiting to be experienced, and a flash of something on the screen that begs further investigation. As you approach the salesman invites you to learn more about his product and simply presses a button that starts a slide show designed to let you know just how much the product being discussed could change your life.

Sometimes you don’t need the flash and glitz that those over the top displays provide to get your point across. While larger structures definitely attract attention and are always popular, something as simple as a portable workstation with a monitor and an eye catching slide show may just be enough to attract the customers you are looking for. Plus they are easier on your wallet as well. The next time you get ready to go all out for that next event, take a moment and reconsider using a smaller display with a quality message. You might be surprised at your results.
