My Birthday Wishes

DateWednesday, April 7, 2010 at 01:52PM

Today is my birthday or maybe my anniversary of my 29th birthday.  I would like to share some of my exhibit and trade show wishes.

#1.  I wish the show decorators would standardize the show rules and books.  Seems like every show decorator has a sneaky item hidden and if you only work with shows a couple of times a year it can be difficult to catch all the rules.  If you miss a rule they will charge you for it.  My clients who do the show management themselves spend hours pouring over the show book.  We offer this service a la carte and we do it daily.  Even for us it is hard.

#2.  The easiest way to save money is to ship slow as much as your schedule allows.  A general rule of thumb is that art is not finished until time is up.  I wish we could have enough time to slow ship all the time.

#3.  I wish that I had a display for my clients that fit into a shoe box and was mailed with a stamp.

#4.  I wish more clients would invest in Pre and Post trade show marketing.  Heck, let's skip this one sign and put 5k into digital pre and post marketing.   You will get better show traffic and as a bonus  you get digital data that proves the importance of your marketing.  (if you are interested- call me, we can arrange this for you)

#5.  I wish more people went with simple design.  I had a client once who made custom tooled parts. He brought crates of custom parts with him to the show, he had pictures of all his custom parts on his 20' booth.  He even had a giveaway calendar done with a custom part pictured on every day.  But no where-  no where-  did his exhibit say the word "Custom". 

These are my top birthday wishes for exhibits. (as of right now).  Do you have some more?  Is there something you would like us to provide?  Is there a different method you would like us to use?  Please let me know

Happy Exhibiting!

Here is an example,football jerseys for youth men football jerseys, Brazil Team World Cup Soccer Jersey Kobe’s jersey at the present time, but the Lakers look 20 years ago. That would be an example of the throwback kind. Sports stars put them on now and again during games also.
