The NEW Symphony System

Designing a portable display system in today’s ultra-competitive market takes guts. Not only must it be durable, easy-to-assembly, and (preferably) tool-less, but it must also feature accessories like monitor/tablet mounts, workstations, counters, and storage. And if that wasn’t enough, it must be attractive and represent a real value.

In January 2020, Classic Exhibits will introduce Symphony, a portable system with over 30 mix and match configurations, seamless graphics, and dramatic shapes. Symphony will be both familiar and unlike anything you’ve ever seen before. That takes guts!  Coming Soon!

2020 Branded Exhibit Design Search

A few days ago, you received an email about the revised Branded EDS Program. We listened and made changes to the program introduced last year, including adding an earned rebate incentive. We made the incentive reasonable so most Classic Distributor Partners could reach those sales levels easily.

Best of all, if your wholesale sales were at least $150,000 in 2019
and you have an active EDS website, then you won’t receive an
invoice for 2020. Nothing. Nada. Gratis.

If you have questions about your existing Exhibit Design Search, or you would like to add a branded EDS to your website, contact Mel White, Jen LaBruzza, or Harold Mintz. They can explain the features and benefits of branded EDS sites, including our strategic EDS partnerships with Optima, CORT, Brumark, and Display Supply and Lighting.

Just Like the Wizard of OZ

At Classic Exhibits, we’re kinda like the Wizard of Oz. We love to create display magic, but we do it hiding behind a curtain as much as possible. On occasion we pull that curtain back, like at EXHIBITORLIVE or award programs. Otherwise, we’re invisible.

Recently, we agreed to a corporate profile in Exhibit City News, which we’ve never done before in any publication. It was in the September/October issue. If you didn’t get a chance to read it, here’s the online version: Classic Exhibits Inc.: An Industry Chameleon.

If we’ve learned anything over the years, it’s that people find it challenging to describe who we are and what we do, even our most loyal distributor partners. The article does a good job of making that clearer and includes quotes from Kevin Carty, Katina Rigall Zipay, and Mel White.

EDPA Access 2019

Kevin Carty and Jen LaBruzza will be attending EDPA Access in Tucson, AZ on December 4-6. Ask about several exciting custom projects (Star Wars, The Walking Dead, and corporate branding). There’s a lot going on at Classic and even more changes coming in 2020.

How to Promote Your Branded Exhibit Design Search

I’m often asked by Classic Exhibits Distributors, “How do I promote our branded Exhibit Design Search?” Well, in addition to making it prominent on your website and using it as a sales tool with clients, you should feature it on social media, like Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, and even YouTube. 

Consider posting:

  • New Exhibit Designs
  • Unique Solutions such as Charging Stations, iPad Kiosks, and LED Lightboxes
  • Exhibit Specials and Lightning Deals
  • Photos
  • Trade Show Marketing Articles
  • Videos

Here’s an example. Tim Patterson at TradeshowGuy Exhibits created an EDS tutorial video which he posted on YouTube. He will use it as a sales and marketing resource for existing and potential clients, but just having it on YouTube will also increase the exposure of his company. It’s a straight-forward video and very effective. See for yourself.
