Island Trade Show Exhibits: Does Size [Really] Matter?
Ok, imagine that you’ve just stepped onto the trade show floor as an attendee. You utter a quiet “Wow” as you take in the colors, lights and the massive footprint of each exhibit. Do you stop in and engage with this gargantuan branded environment, or do you scurry by overwhelmed, intimidated and a bit foggy?
“The Randy”
As they say, better late than never, as we reflect upon our recent participation as golfers and sponsors at this years very special “Randy”.

What Marketers Want [Mind Reading for Vendors]
We as marketing vendor-partners want to present innovative ideas, while our client is just trying to figure out how best to communicate to their constituencies today with the tools already in their toolbox. So how does a marketing vendor navigate meaningful conversations in this environment?

If a client can map out a series of smaller, local events why not offer an extended rental option to stretch the budget? This does not preclude the ability to change either the design architecture and/or graphical content from event to event. The program would simply reserve the use of modular hardware components for a dedicated mobile tour of pre-planned events…all at a discounted rate.

The Fine [Developing] Art of Virtual Selling
What does Virtual Selling mean anyway? I tried to sell something, and it didn’t work? Does it mean I sold something, but for no money with no actual product? Was I playing a new video game that tries to inspire real salespeople to get off their butts and DO something? Or none of the above?
The Power of the Virtual Private Event
There’s an opportunity to take what we’ve learned in 2020 and turn the digital event tool into a new, better platform for things other than trade shows. The same components of a critical trade show can be reimagined as perhaps a sales presentation tool, remote learning platform or dynamic environment for a company meeting.
