NEW iPad Solutions Brochure

March 5th, 2013 COMMENTS

In the past six months, we’ve tripled our iPad Solutions. And, there’s another half dozen in the R&D pipeline. Here’s the newest brochure where you’ll find iPad kiosks, stands, extrusion solutions, counters, and inserts — all designed specifically for retail, trade shows, and special events.

There’s a link at the bottom for the Unbranded Version. The Unbranded Version can also be downloaded from the iPad Design Detail pages in Exhibit Design Search.

If you are attending EXHIBITOR2013, be sure to see the latest models at our booth.

Recent iPad Kiosk Trends

January 24th, 2013 COMMENTS

Let me share iPad Kiosk sales from an unnamed Classic Distributor. Last week, I ran a report on this distributor focusing exclusively on iPad kiosk sales over the past four months. This distributor is primarily online, but one I suspect you don’t know. They fly under the radar.

On their website, they created a category/menu for iPad Solutions. They also have Exhibit Design Search, which shows iPad kiosks in the Workstations and Counters Galleries. And, they’ve done several email broadcasts to their customers on iPad options. What are the results over the past four months?

Not bad. When you consider that they focused on MOD-1312/1314 until recently, it’s even more impressive. Just this afternoon, I was told to expect an order for 10 more. Nice.

What about Other Tablets?

Although iPads represent the vast majority of orders we’re getting, we have gotten a few requests for other tablets such as the Galaxy Tab and ASUS. It requires modification to the clamshell frame ($100 retail modification price), but the solution is sweet. Same anti-theft locks. Same clamshell frame. Same Swivel Stop feature. For cord management purposes, it works best in landscape mode, but if your client intends to use it in battery mode (9 hour battery), landscape or portrait is fine. We may not be able to accommodate larger tablets, but if you have one you’d like us to explore for an order, please let us know.

The details are available in the Workstations Gallery. All include the exclusive Portrait/Landscape Swivel Stop Rotation feature and internal wire management.

Exclusive E2MA Study about the Rising Costs of General Service Contractor Services

January 2nd, 2013 4 COMMENTS

The E2MA (Exhibit and Event Marketers Association) has spent two years on a study that presents factual data about the rising costs of exclusive services provided by General Service Contractors (GSC). We’ve all “known this,” but now there’s a summary of actual facts and data that makes it real. No trend jeopardizes the full recovery and future of the trade show industry more than this.

Please take a few minutes to download and review. Share, share, share with anyone and everyone who has a vested interest in trade shows and trade show marketing.

Download the E2MA PDF Slideshow Presentation

Successful Meetings summarized the findings and recommendations in the online article:  E2MA: Trade Show Organizers Must Negotiate Lower Costs for Exhibitors.

“In response to its findings, E2MA has recommended a course of action that’s based on full disclosure and better control of costs. For instance, it advocates “game changers” such as bringing general contracting in house and eliminating exclusive show services, as well as the following “simple” solutions:

  • Disclosing all show management rebates and discounts to exhibitors;
  • Understanding what exhibitors are paying, identifying pain points and negotiating on their behalf;
  • Providing all costs up front in the exhibitor prospectus;
  • Simplifying show rates and rules; and
  • Eliminating the practice of discounting exclusive services and combining with other non-exclusive services.”
