Earlier in the week we brought you a post all about information displays and how they have the ability to transform into any number of displays depending on what a company needs most. Today’s discussion is going to get back to the idea of information displays being suited for many tasks, but specifically we want to discuss the value of an electronic message system. In today’s world information is key to being successful no matter what business you are in. As individuals we want the latest and greatest news and product info in our hands the moment it happens. It’s as if the time spent having to look for something is time wasted that could be used somewhere else. What an electronic message sign does is it gives people all that they need to know the moment they walk into a building or enter an event. These types of information displays can be used effectively to keep people safe, direct them to where they need to go, or to alert them to an emergency that that requires their immediate attention.
Electronic message displays are programmed by a hand held IR pad or computer, have the ability to store 160 characters per page with 90 pages available, and each page can contain as many as 8 lines consisting of 1.2” characters. Measuring at 26.75” wide, 73” hi, 4.5” deep, using only 90 watts of power, and featuring letters available in red, yellow, or green; this type of information display can be used at many locations including:
- The Bank or other public places to provide the hours of operation, notify visitors of weekly specials or rates, or announce new locations
- Hotels to provide vacancy info, special events that are taking place, or rules and regulations
- Trade shows to point visitors to certain areas of the event or by vendors as a way to give directions to their specific demonstration
- Government offices or on freeway overhangs to provide info on Amber Alerts, impending bad weather conditions, or construction zones up ahead
If information is king than the ability to dispense that information in hopes of saving people time, keeping them safe, and helping to make their lives easier is certainly something that should be looked upon favorably. By adding a company’s custom logo and name to the top of the message they are essentially telling the reader that they care about them and there is something they must know. This concern is then translated into sales when the consumer begins to feel that a relationship exists between them and the company and a bond of trust is created. An electronic messaging display may sound simple, but the information it can provide is priceless when it is used to make a connection with a potential customer.

Wednesday I spoke about what to look for in a person you are sending out to work a trade show when you can’t make it yourself. Essentially you need somebody who is trustworthy, presentable, able to follow your lead, and can solve any problems that may arise along the way. While all of these things are great qualities to have in any employee, regardless of whether we are talking trade shows or retail stores, it’s also important to remember to send them on the road with a few supplies that will help them survive the grueling days ahead. Let’s face it, trade shows and conventions are never easy and if you’re the one having to stand at a kiosk all day talking to everyone that walks by, it can be downright brutal on even the most gung-ho individual. In order to avoid some of this fatigue and possibly keep a steady roll call of people willing to travel every weekend, a zip-lock bag containing a few simple items could save you tons of grief:
Aspirin-Like I said above, trade shows can be tough on anyone. Often you leave in the late afternoon, grab a couple hours sleep at some random hotel, are up by 5 a.m and work till 8 p.m. Throughout the day you can expect to meet hundreds of people while music and crowd noise blare in the background. Headaches are going to happen and a little help to easy the pain will come in real handy.- Caffeine-Throw in some money for coffee, maybe a couple bottles of 5-hr Energy, some chocolate covered coffee beans….whatever your choice just remember that when things are pop’n and the crowd has got you covered up things are great, but when things die down you’re going to need something to keep you in the game.
- Ant-Acids- Nobody eats good on the road. The food is grease, spicy, covered in batter. The stress levels are just as high as the expectations and all of it leaves your body feeling all out of sorts. A roll of Tums will go a long way to help calm your nerves and fight all that fattening food.
- Breath Mints-This is a no-brainer. Nobody wants to get up close and personal to talk about your latest gadget if you have bad breath.
- Band-Aids- Paper cuts are an occupational hazard and can cost sales if someone were to walk up to find you bleeding all over the place. A few band-aids, maybe some antibiotic ointment, and if possible a bandage should help control the situation and save you some cash.
- Break-Time- You can’t put this one in a bag, but it’s just at vital as all the others. Don’t expect yourself or anyone else for that matter to stand behind a display all day and stay fresh. Make it known that once or twice a day it’s okay to get out and mingle through the crowd. Not only will this give you a lay of the land to see what others are promoting, but it will allow you to make connections with those that may not otherwise stop by your booth or even know you are there.
Part of being a vendor at a trade show means that you are required to man the fort from dusk to dawn with little or no respite. As hard and rewarding as it is though, why not make life easier on yourself and your employees by sending along a bag containing a few simple items that will make the trip more bearable. It’s a like our moms used to say, “A little help goes a long way”.

Your main trade show booth or kiosk should be instantly recognizable by your customers and clients; your company’s colors, emblems, logo, etc. should be clearly visible from across a large area.
Many businesses are having their most frequently used, sturdiest trade show booth custom-made, therefore giving it the most personalized, individual look possible.
However, there will be times when a trade show is so far away it makes packing 
such a display impractical. There might also be a trade show with a universal theme, etc, making it advisable to add something to join in the “fun.” Plus, there are many times an add-on or two will make your usual, standard display stand out even more! That’s where Godfrey Group’s pop-up displays will be a welcome addition!
Remember: you want your customers and clients to recognize your display, and you want potential customers and clients to spot your display and find it intriguing enough to check out!
Whatever your trade show booth, kiosk, or display needs, we guarantee that you will find exactly what you need at Godfrey Group; and if you need something custom-made, we’ll make it EXACTLY as you wish.

Your business no doubt has its own trademark icons and colors, so it’s a good idea to use these when planning and designing your business’ own unique trade show booth or kiosk displays.
If your potential clients/customers have seen your ads or read your company’s blog, etc, they will be actively looking for the color scheme and icons they saw before, and which they now associate with your business.
Remember that at a trade show, your company will be competing with hundreds of other companies for the attention and accounts of all of the conference attendees, every single one of which is a potential client! It just makes sense to design your booth or kiosk to be instantly recognizable, even from a distance, as YOUR company’s booth or kiosk.
If your company’s trade show display is pictured on your business cards, all the better! The clients/customers will instantly recognize your display, even if it’s only by the colors, and come right to you!
Need help designing your unique trade show display? Godfrey Group is happy to assist you with this; just give us a call at 1-800- 789-9394. You can even start planning your booth or kiosk design with Godfrey Group’s Design Library – and when you log in and save your plans, you can always come back and change, rearrange, and share your ideas with others in your company!

There have been several inquiries recently about “green” trade show displays. Yes, we have them! Here is the information, from last July:
Direct from the Godfrey Group’s eco-friendly displays page comes the following information for those who wish to have a classy display while staying “green:”
Our PodForum is your earth-friendly approach to preserving not only a green environment but also lots of green cash. The PodForum uses minimal aluminum tubing, which is recycled. The entire surface of your exhibit is earth-friendly fabric graphics. Less material, more impact. The savings don’ t just stop at material. The display is as lightweight as a gossamer, thus, inexpensive to ship. Setup is simple as well. So, your savings extend from concept to completion. See our other fabric structures also. The fabric graphic skin can replicate nearly any surface from water to brick and stone. This fabrication option makes possible mega-size structures, yet the structure remains very light in weight while providing a very elegant look. Sheer, see-thru fabric graphics is one fabric option that is very sophisticated, particularly when lighted by programmable LED wash lights.Fabrics can be opaque or semi-transparent. Fabric graphics may be front or back lit. Nearly any mood can be created from soothing, low-light glow to a high-energy, pulse-pounding environment that changes color with variable frequency. Discuss with us your desired effect and objective. We will design and build your image. Additionally, fabric graphics stretched, pillow case style, over an aluminum frame provides an ideal means of updating and changing your theme, your message, your graphics, your mood, and your mind on short notice. We custom bend your design and print the fabric graphic skin, all in house. We offer dye sub and direct to fabric printing. Our design staff takes your image from concept to completion, all under one large roof.
Give us a call at 1-800-789-9394, and we’ll work with you!
