It’s Showtime! EXHIBITOR SHOW 2011.
It is that time of year . . . and if you have been “peeking” at Peek-a-Booth, you probably already know what a creative and exciting display we have in store for the show. It’s a “Home” (of sorts) where you can relax and learn about all the great things happening at Classic Exhibits, Exhibits Northwest, Eco-systems Sustainable, and ClassicMODUL.

Bye Bye Pop Ups? Hello Hybrids!
Distributor Open House
I attended a Distributor Open House recently, where the distributor invited customers to see the latest trends in trade show marketing (ExhibiTrends 2011). Over 20 exhibit-related companies participated, ranging from portable manufacturers to lead generating companies, and from flooring suppliers to graphic providers. The event was well-organized and extremely successful. About 300 current and potential customers walked the event.
Jeopardy Questions — Test Your Knowledge of Classic Exhibits
Several weeks ago, a Classic Distributor asked me to create Jeopardy questions for his weekly sales meeting. He planned to test his Account Executive and Project Managers on their knowledge of Classic products and services. Since I enjoyed writing the answers/questions, I thought I’d put you to the test as well.
Below are all the answers and then the corresponding questions. So grab your buzzer and discover how well you know Classic?

First Timer’s Experience
This past week had a running theme — First Timer’s. That is, people who were either attending and/or coordinating their first trade show, or in one case, preparing for their first retail installation. You know what this is like. It’s draining, exhilarating, and frustrating –usually at the same time.
Looking for a Deal is Easy . . .
Well, after last week’s sales calls, I decided that all anybody wants to talk about anymore is price. The price of EVERYTHING. Not just trade show exhibits, but everyone is looking for a deal. Looking for a deal is easy, because there is always someone or something cheaper. That doesn’t necessarily mean that it is equal, just cheaper.
