Introducing Sacagawea Portable Hybrid Trade Show Displays

Sacagawea Portable Hybrid Trade Show Displays

I’m just old enough to remember the skits where an actor would portray both a man and a woman by painting half their face as a man and the other half as a woman. Depending on the dialogue, the actor would show the audience one side or the other and often would wear a half suit and half dress costume. It seems silly now, but I’m smiling as I write this because the skits were entertaining, creative, and economical (one actor – two roles). 

As budgets tighten, particularly exhibit budgets, exhibit managers expect displays to perform multiple roles. Unfortunately, most exhibits are much better as character actors – portable or modular or custom but not custom portable (for example).    

If you are familiar with Classic, you already know about Perfect 10 and Magellan, two innovative hybrid systems in the $5,000 to $12,000 price range. You clearly like these hybrid displays, judging by our sales over the past 18 months. Recently, you asked for an even more economical solution, something starting around $3100.

Introducing the Sacagawea Portable Hybrid Series

For too long, trade show exhibit buyers have had to choose between price and design and portability and upscale features. Not anymore. The Sacagawea Portable Hybrid Series offers exhibitors contemporary hybrid design with aluminum extrusion and large format tension fabric graphics at a great price. 

If you are considering a pop up display, why not consider a Sacagawea instead for about the same price? The Sacagawea display takes about the same time to assemble, packs in portable roto-molded case(s) with wheels, and offers more flexibility with counters, workstations, and re-configurability. With Sacagawea, you can start with a 10’ x 10’ exhibit and expand to a 10’ x 20’ as your show schedule and budget grows. Because the system is constructed with durable aluminum extrusion and lightweight tension fabric graphics, your display will evolve as your trade show marketing program changes from year to year.

See the entire Sacagawea Series in Design Search including  (17) 10’ x 10’ kits and (7) 10’ x 20’ kits. Prices start at $3100.

Search for Exhibit Photos in P5D — New Feature

Past Five Days -- Search Thru Over 1000 Exhibit Photos

Past Five Days -- Search Over 1000 Exhibit Photos

On April 13, we posted “Past Five Days — Reviewing Photos in P5D” where we discussed the history and features of Classic’s daily photo log. Past Five Days has been a permanent feature on Classic Exhibits website, and on all distributor versions of Design Search, since September 19, 2006. Over that time, we’ve made multiple incremental improvements. Today’s improvement is anything but incremental.

New Photo Search Function

We’ve added search functionality. Now you can search the entire P5D database by size and/or keyword. We all know the expression, “A picture is worth a thousand words.” Too often, the challenge is finding the just right picture or photo. When it comes to trade show exhibit design, you may prefer renderings, but someone else in your organization may prefer photos. Now both options are available for many Classic Exhibits’ designs.

Say, for instance, you like Visionary Designs VK-1032 Hybrid Exhibit. Click here to see the rendering. “Very cool,” you say to yourself, but you wonder if there is a photo available in P5D that shows a “real” version of VK-1032. In this case, there is. Not just one, but seven separate entries for this design. Click here to see one of those photos. Not every photo will be complete with graphics. After all, those photos are taken in our Setup Area, and it’s not uncommon for us to ship displays without the graphics. The graphics may have been shipped directly to the client, or the photo was taken before the graphics were installed. It happens. Also, it’s important to remember that P5D is a sampling of orders. Not all orders. So, not every kit on Classic’s website has a corresponding photo.
