I just returned from Las Vegas after attending the Exhibitor Show. This is the tradeshow for the tradeshow industry where the display product manufacturers show their wares. As a distributor, I look for new innovations in the industry and meet with my suppliers and manufacturers to reinforce relationships and talk shop. I also have the opportunity to check out the products my competitors sell so I know what I am up against when my prospects are shopping around. It is always interesting to see who is entering into this industry. There are many new manufacturers from overseas trying to enter the marketplace. The problem is that there are very few new ideas. Most of these company are just reinventing the wheel, so to speak. They have the same exhibit styles the major players have, but lack the quality and service. Unfortunately many of my clients and prospects are faced with budget cuts so the price becomes king. This is why aligning with a few of the economy brands is advisable. I did find a couple cool things. One was a backlight system consisting of a rollable panel with tube lights that backlight any mural panel on a pop up. The key here is that it fits any pop up frame. I actually took advantage of their “show special” and bought one right on the spot. Show specials will close sales on the show floor so be sure to include an offer for your proucts or services at your next show. I also saw a pretty neat collapsable literature stand that when opened up had a little table on the top to put a lead box or product sample. I am very proud to represent some of the best manufacturers in the country. To get a good sampling of the types of high quality, brand name exhibit materials Exhibit Experts represents you can visit the websites of my favorite suppliers.
