40′ x 40′ Custom Island Exhibit by Classic Exhibits

June 21st, 2013 Mel White COMMENTS

The 40′ x 40′ Calypto Island Exhibit was built by Classic Exhibits for Exhibits Northwest Portland. The custom construction island featured a 40 ft entrance with downlighting, backlit reception counters, silicone edge graphics, and three large monitors all framed by two large “C” bookends. Behind the entrance was private meeting rooms. Built using wood cam-lock construction, primarily 4 x 8 panels.

The Account Executive was Tyler Poage. Edie Arambula was the Project Manager from Classic Exhibits, and Greg Garrett was the exhibit designer (www.greggarrettdesign.com).

Congratulations to all involved and a special “Shout Out” to Classic’s Wood Fabrication crew. Great job everyone!

Don’t Be Fooled by This Copy

June 9th, 2013 Mel White COMMENTS
iPad Clamshell

Patent Pending Swivel Stop

Whenever I hear someone say, “Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery,” I know it’s because they just copied something. We see that a lot with our designs and our innovations. At EXHIBITOR2013, there were two exhibits, one from a Chinese manufacturer and one from an American distributor, that were EXACT copies of our designs. Sigh.

Recently, we stumbled upon an iPad swivel mount by a competitor. The clamshell “seemed” similar to our patent pending Swivel Stop™. It rotated 180 degrees, encased an iPad in a clamshell frame, and looked similar both front and back. Aside from that, it couldn’t be more different, but you wouldn’t know that unless you compared them side by side. Well . . .  we decided to save you the trouble because we didn’t want you to be confused. 😉

So, in short, the original looks better, functions better, and has more features. And as if that wasn’t enough, the Classic Exhibits version is also about $20 cheaper. Go figure.

An Example of a Video Testimonial by a Classic Exhibits Distributor

June 6th, 2013 Mel White 2 COMMENTS

In February, we built a custom 30 x 30 island for Communication One Exhibits in Salem, OR. The client was Bob’s Red Mill, a manufacturer of whole grain products. Anyone who has visited us is familiar with Bob’s Red Mill. The company has a visitor center and restaurant just down the road from Classic Exhibits.

Tim Patterson, the owner of Communication One, did what so many of us should do — he created a video testimonial and then emailed it to his client list. With Tim’s permission, we’re sharing his video. We hope you enjoy (and that it serves as an inspiration to all of us to work on those testimonials this summer)!

The design details are in Exhibit Design Search, along with associated photos from the trade show. The designer was Greg Garrett, from Greg Garrett Design. Edie Arambula handled the project management for Classic Exhibits.

Honoring Memorial Day: Word on the Street — May 20th thru May 24th

May 26th, 2013 Mel White 1 COMMENT
Memorial Day: Word on the Street -- May 20th thru May 24th

Word on the Street by Kevin Carty

Whether you’re camping, on a road trip, outta town to see family and friends, or just hanging at home for three days like me, I trust you are enjoying your long weekend.

We all work very hard and while long weekends like Memorial Day Weekend provide us with an extra day to relax, I hope we all take time to reflect and celebrate the reason for the weekend. Please remember those who lost their lives to protect this great country.

This week I would like to share a poem I read recently by Bruce Obermeyer, former USAF Captain who served in Vietnam. As Robert Frost once said, “A poem begins with a lump in the throat.”

Their son was only two weeks old; their daughter’s years were three 
When duty called this pilot to the war across the sea.
“Let’s just pretend you’re only going on a business trip. 
Each day we’ll write about the things we’ve done and then we’ll slip
a note into an envelope and put it in the mail. 
You send me yours; I’ll send you mine, I promise, without fail.” 
He walked away with pounding heart while fighting back the tears 
with “Come home soon, I love you, Daddy” ringing in his ears.
They kept that promise, sealed with love some 30 years ago. 
They sent him tapes and photographs so he could watch them grow.
They’re married now with children of their own who, at the Wall, 
ask “Was my Grandpa brave?” and Grandma says, “Bravest of all.”

I hope you have a restful long weekend. Please take a few moments to remember the reason for the extra day. We have many to thank on Memorial Day.

Be well.
