(2) Videos from Empire Display Solutions at Natural Products East

October 18th, 2019 COMMENTS

At Classic Exhibits, we rarely see show photos, let alone videos of the exhibits we design and build. However, Matthew Houck of Empire Display Solutions shared two professionally edited trade show exhibit videos from Natural Products East.

The videographer is James Morano, and Matt and Aniyah Haynes narrate. Jeff Garrett and Alex Lebedev were the PMs and Kim DiStefano the Designer.

Both show how our collaboration with Empire Display Solutions resulted in two amazing custom exhibits. See the YouTube thumbnails below or click on these links: Threshold (20 x 30) and PICNIK Austin (10 x 10).

Charging Stations for Trade Shows and Events

In 2016, we decided to design attractive charging solutions for trade shows and events. At the time, most charging solutions resembled sea monsters with tentacles or space aliens from a B movie. Not much has changed. Most are still ugly.

At Classic Exhibits, we never stopped introducing new designs, like the over 40 tables, counters, kiosks, and towers in our Charging Gallery in EDS. Not enough? Add wireless charging to the 200+ counters in our Counters and Pedestals Gallery for just $125 per pad.

Perhaps it’s time to consider phone and tablet charging like intermittent wipers. How did we ever survive without them?

SuperNova Lightbox: Adjustable Tablet Mount

August 26th, 2019 COMMENTS

LED Lightboxes should be more than just a pretty face. They should also be functional. SuperNova Lightboxes already have single or double-side shelving options. See MOD-1615, 1616, 1617, and 1618 for examples. We’re delighted to add another practical feature.

Announcing the new MOD-1375 Adjustable Tablet Mount for iPad, Surface, and other tablets. The mounts are ideal for conducting surveys, lead retrieval, or simple web navigation. The mounts attach directly to the lightbox and can be positioned either inside or outside the LB frame.

In addition, the mounts adjust vertically without tools. As with all Port/Land tablet enclosures, the tablets swivel from portrait to landscape within a 180 degree rotation. See the video below or click here for more details.

Rental Exhibit Types: Rejects, Reruns, and Remarkables

June 25th, 2019 COMMENTS

There are Three Types of Trade Show Exhibit Rentals:  Rejects, Reruns, and Remarkables. All rentals depend on the exhibit supplier’s inventory and willingness to customize. So what’s the difference?

Rejects

Rejects: These are instantly recognizable as traditional rental designs from the GSC show manual. They are built from battered aluminum extrusion and Sintra graphic inserts. They are ugly, ineffective, and increasingly being replaced by modern modular wall systems.

Reruns

Reruns: Many rental designs now use modular wall systems. A very positive trend. Unfortunately, the designs depend on the supplier’s inventory, which is often limited. That means choosing from a narrow selection of inline and island configurations which are repeated again and again on the show floor. It’s a step up, but not a custom rental.

Remarkables

Remarkables: Customized rental designs are the exception since they depend on a large rental inventory, custom manufacturing, and design flexibility. They are generally indistinguishable from a purchase exhibit, since they are personalized to the exhibitor’s marketing requirements. They can be more expensive, but even that depends on the rental supplier and the exhibitor’s willingness to commit to multiple rentals.

Just because a supplier has a rental option, it doesn’t guarantee their rental inventory supports “remarkable” designs. Ask questions. Request designs. See photos of past rental projects. Finally, don’t fall in love too quickly. You deserve to date a few unremarkable candidates before committing to a long-term relationship.
