Make Your Trade Show Competitor's Jealous!


Your at the show, like usual you are putting your booth together. 5 minutes go by and done. With a simple clap of your hands together your display is done and your ready to go. You start to feel stares coming from all around, stares piercing in your back. You turn around to realize, it's your neighbors. Your booth neighbors are gwaking at you in pure jealousy. Your done and their, well... not.

The Banner-Mate banner stand system will make traveling a breeze and set up even easier. You'll look forward to going to those dreaded shows and everyone around will be envious to have their own.

Aim for the clean and clear message ... If you have been actively doing display research you already know that there are many varieties of displays to choose from - full size pop up or panel systems, table top pop up or panel systems and the popular retractable or pole banner stands. We would like to end your tradeshow display challenge by making sure you are aiming for the new fresh approach, the connected banner stands.

Aim for adapting and expanding ... How would you like to cover the same "real estate" as a full size pop up display at your next tradeshow and for a lot less? The Banner-Mate II™ will accomplish both! Pay less than a 10' full size pop up display and you could have yourself (3) separate units that form an 86" high x 105" wide straight mural backwall that is virtually seamless.

Unlike ordinary display systems, the standard 35" Banner-Mate II™ units can be linked together using the unique state-of-the-art edge to edge magnetic that will tightly hook the (3) units together. Design your graphics so that each individual unit may be used independently as well as connected, making the Banner-Mate II™ even more of a great marketing resource. This allows you the option of using only one unit and banner for the smaller applications. Get ready to throw the winning Game Shot for your company!

Another tremendous advantage is the clean edge to edge look. With no visible bases or feet exposed, only your top to floor graphics will be focused on. Keep your booth space functional with the 14.5" deep footprint leaving more space for you to move around - a perfect choice where space is limited.

Stay fresh and new by interchanging different banners with the easy to operate grip rail system. No double face tape or velcro needed here, just open and clamp down on your banner material.

The solid Chrome weighted base will ensure the stability and support needed. Don't fuss with a telescoping pole, the included 3-section corded Graphic pole requires no adjusting to the right height needed so you easily achieve the right height every time. Supply us with your full color graphics and we will print them on our high quality Lexan banner material. With a photo finish your artwork will represent you!

Included with each stand is a 3-section corded Pole, Chrome weighted base and Canvas carry bag with inner tube for added protection.

Aim for success ... Finally you'll discover how mobile a banner stand system can truly be. Meanwhile others are lugging around large crates and struggling to lift them in and out of their vehicle, you are traveling light.

Each stand and banner packs small within a convenient Canvas travel bag weighing only 8 lbs. For your next show, take along only as many stands and banners as you need -- throw them over your shoulder and put them in the front seat of your car all with ease.

That is what the Banner-Mate II™ system can do for you - become a more efficient tradeshow attendee. Again you are the one that stands out!

P.S. Don't forget illumination! Add one Halogen Stem light per banner to further enhance and lighten up your custom graphics all for $120.00 each. Easily attaches to the top of the pole. Ship frequently? Shipping case available to hold up to 9 stands and banners.

Focus on this, focus on what?

Scanning the Trade Show crowd sometimes can be surprising at how many people stopped their every day business to attend the show. Coming from local and from far away places but yet all are there for the same reason.

Yet, year after year attending that same trade show with so many others may seem tedious and repetitive and you feel so what’s the point in all this effort…

BAM! Well, that’s the point to a Trade Show.

But what if you don’t have that ‘BAM’ in your Trade Show, what if you don’t have that ‘something new’? What’s the point then?

The point: if nothing else, a Trade Show is no better a place to form new relationships while maintaining and reinforcing the existing relationships.

Here are FIVE strategeies to keep you and your business going. Because the point is: reinforcment of strength in both presense and relationships.

Tip 1: Focus on Features. Does every user of your product or service know it completely from the in to the out? Doubt it! Try taking your most overlooked features and push them. Get them recognized as a 'new' benefit.

Tip 2: Focus on the Future. Is something new and exciting coming but not quite there? Are you starting to focus on eco-friendly processing but it's not quite ready to unveil how. Start the buzz talk now, ahead of time, to get your new and old prospects talking and especially wanting that new service or item. Jump start it now.

Tip 3: Use the Proctor & Gamble strategy to make something old something 'New and Improved'. Here and there you may notice they use that on their laundry detergeant, shampoo brands, etc. If you have changed your product and it is New and Improved well say it. No need to reinvent the wheel when you can just enhance what you already have.

Tip 4: Focus on the People. Take your best faces and best workers and put them out there. The ones who make your products, the ones who make your services run smoothly. Put a face on the action behind the scene.

Tip 5: Foucs on Service. Have great customer service. Keep on proving it. Highlight your best services that make your customer's happy to work with you.

So, the point is even if you think you don't have something new to say, step back and really think about it. You will find something new based upon what you already have.
