Now Is The Time To Redesign That Showroom!!

Wednesday, January 5th, 2011

Being as it is the first week of 2011 one can’t help but be optimistic about what the future will hold for this country. As our leaders begin to make plans and iron out details for what will hopefully bring forth a surge of economic growth in the coming twelve months, one leading indicator suggests that things are already starting off on the right foot. According to economists small businesses were responsible for 58% of all the hiring that took place in November. What this means is that over 90,000 individuals were hired to work for companies that employed less than 50 workers overall. President Obama had this to say about the surge, “When our small businesses don’t do well, America doesn’t do well. So we all have a stake in helping our small businesses grow and succeed. And because small businesses create two out of every three new jobs in America, our economy depends on it.” Todd McCracken, president of the National Small Business Association echoed the President’s sentiments by saying that “The marked increase in employment by the smallest firms is a very positive indicator for economic growth. This makes it even more critical than ever that policymakers do everything in their power to ensure this growth can continue.”

If you are a small business owner who is in the processes of hiring new employees to help accommodate a new surge of growth, then maybe now is also the time to look into redesigning your showroom. With Godfrey’s Bizwall system a new showroom is simply a click of a button away.

BizWall Showroom Interiors include:

*Panel walls light enough to be handled like furniture and can be set up by your office staff, without tools.

*Panels are Portable and modular, but with the look of permanent walls.

*Changeable face panels for office interiors, showrooms, or retail merchandising.

If you are one of the growing number of small business that have  recently begun experiencing an increase in sales resulting in the need for additional employees, maybe the time is right to also look at redesigning that old dated showroom with the help of Godfrey’s fantastic looking Bizwall Showroom Interiors!

Study Shows New Growth In Trade Show Attendance!

Monday, January 3rd, 2011

Looking back to what was 2010 there were a ton of stories that caught the nations attentions; the Chilean miners trapped underground for 69 days, the Gulf of Mexico Oil spill that will be sending shockwaves through the entire country from years to come, and maybe the biggest story of them all the continued struggle to revive the slumping economy.  Several months back we mentioned that at least from the point of view of one economist things were finally getting back on the right track. According to Gunther Bright, VP of the Global Client Group “We’re seeing a significant shift to a more positive outlook among finance executives as companies have moved from simply surviving the present to investing in growth for the future. At the same time, the experience of the recession set the stage for a newfound and long-term focus on financial discipline and management rigor”. Now comes word from the Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) that for the first time in a while trade show growth is on the rise!

In a release from the research agency, the CEIR is stating that according to their findings the third quarter was witness to the first upswing in trade show growth in nine quarters. “After a record setting nine consecutive quarters of negative quarter over quarter performance, the third quarter of the 2010 CEIR Index reports all four metrics show improvement over the third quarter of 2009. This is most welcome news and tends to confirm some of the anecdotal reports we have reviewed. It should be noted that the third quarter is historically the weakest of the four quarters and has had the greatest decline. The test will be to see if this positive trend continues into the fourth quarter of 2010 and then the all important first quarter of 2011.”

This means that for those companies holding back from attending a larger number of trade shows than they typically would, now is the time to look into jumping back into the waters and riding the wave of growth to higher sales. Thankfully Godfrey is here to help you make a splash with tons of original and custom designed trade show exhibits especially designed to grab the attention of all those consumers looking to be amazed! Don’t wait until it’s too late and risk losing money that could be made as more and more visitors pile into trade show centers all across the country. Contact Godfrey today!
