Social Media and Trade Show Marketing
Our friend Tim Patterson at www.tradeshowguyblog.com continues to amaze me. If you are fascinated about the intersection of Social Media and Trade Show Marketing, there’s no better source than his site. Here are some recent posts including one where he reviews his work with Classic Exhibits and EXHIBITOR.
Education for the Future of our Industry: Word on the Street — March 26th thru March 30th
EDPA Foundation Scholarship
I have been fortunate to sit on the EDPA Foundation Scholarship Committee for many years. It’s something near and dear to my heart: education and supporting those within our industry getting their Education.
To date, the EDPAF Scholarship Committee has awarded nearly $110,000 in scholarships! Isn’t that awesome!! And its gone to a myriad of people from the kids of industry employees, industry employees themselves, as well as spouses who have chosen to further their education.
Something for (Almost) Nothing — FREE Pop Up Panels
For Classic Distributors Only
Typically, we wouldn’t post this information in a blog, but this is our way of rewarding our loyal blog and LinkedIn followers. We have an inventory of Quadro S and Quadro EO Pop Up fabric panels in discontinued fabrics. We have been holding onto them, just in case a customer needed them, but now it’s time to do a Spring Cleaning.
The following fabric panels, complete with magnet and hanger and kicker strips, are FREE. First come. First serve (within limits). Simply email me at the address below. You’ll have to pay for packaging ($35 wholesale per box) and shipping, but there’s no other obligation. We’ve even eliminated all the fun of haggling, unless you count the packaging fee (which is non-negotiable). Perfect for the kindergartener who needs a durable sleeping mat. 😉
New Outdoor Display Products Gallery
We love to share good news about Exhibit Design Search.
There’s a brand new gallery in EDS — Outdoor Display Products. This Optima Graphics gallery includes 11 popular outdoor products, such as Banshee, Kapow, Ridgeline, and Valet. There’s even a listing for Event Tents. As with many of the new features in EDS, the gallery was added at the request of several Classic Distributors. And the timing couldn’t be better with Spring at hand and Summer just a few months away. Our thanks to Gary Camarato at Optima for all his hard work on this gallery.
“‘m So Sweaty!”: Word on the Street — March 19th thru March 23rd
Is it Just Me?
As many of you know I have twins, Nicholas and Presley. They are five now, and while they have always provided comic relief, they seem to be taking it to a whole new level. This week, rather than talk about business, I want to share a story that recently happened at home.
An Exceptional Video from Display Supply and Lighting (DS&L)
Display Supply and Lighting Video
Rob Cohen, from Display Supply and Lighting (a Strategic Partner of Classic Exhibits) sent us this video. It’s so well done that we just had to share. Here’s a summary what you’ll see, along with a little “smooth salesmanship” from Mr. Rob.
‘s a New Regime in Town: Word on the Street — March 12 thru March 16
As you all know, I think EXHIBITOR Show 2012 was AMAZING. But it did not go off without a hitch. It had nothing to do with the organizers. They did a fantastic job! It had to do with the local union steward unfortunately.
Here is the deal. There is a new regime in the local Las Vegas union, which at first glance and given the economic hardships of the past three years would lead you to believe that positive change is coming. Unfortunately NO. And to make matters worse, the union leadership decided to flex their muscle at an industry event. To me that is counter intuitive, but to them it made perfect sense. Let me explain.
What Really Goes On at Conventions in Vegas
I’m back from EXHIBITOR, jazzed about the trade show industry and excited about what 2012 brings . . . then I stumble into this story in BusinessWeek.com. Joe Stein, the author, agreed to go to seven conventions in three days in Las Vegas. That’s just plain crazy. Heck, I can’t even go to seven fast food joints in three days without suffering from intestinal rumba.
Nevertheless, it’s a good read . . . even if he takes the easy path with some very, very broad generalizations.
EXHIBITOR 2012…What a SHOW!: Word on the Street — March 5th thru March 9th
Goosies!
To steal a phrase from J-LO (yes, I said J-LO) . . . EXHIBITOR 2012 gave me goosies! 🙂
Let’s start on March 5 at 11:30 am. Normally the Classic Crew would be standing in the booth waiting for the doors to open and for the first attendees to arrive. But we weren’t! We weren’t because starting at 10:30 am we already had other exhibitors (most of which were customers) in our booth looking around, admiring the Classic Exhibits booth, and eager to learn about what we were showing this year.
‘s Showtime: Word on the Street — Feb. 27th thru March 2nd
It’s Showtime!
Classic Exhibits and its family of companies is ready to show at EXHIBITOR 2012. We look forward to seeing you at booth #1645 this week.
The exhibit installed Friday and Saturday and looks amazing. Special thanks to James and Corey from Exhibits NW who led the set-up charge. And special thanks to Chris Griffin and the men from TS Crew for their stellar work.
