Exhibit Deal Adds New Trade Show Flooring

ExhibitDEAL Adds New Trade Show Flooring Style to Its Product Offering
Soft Wood is cushioned like traditional trade show flooring and provides a professional-looking wood appearance.

SANTA MONICA, CA – DATE – ExhibitDEAL, the Original Exhibit Wholesaler, announces the addition of Soft Wood to their offering of trade show flooring products.
Soft Wood joins Soft Floor and Soft Carpet to offer customers more trade show flooring options. To learn more about these products, please visit: http://www.exhibitdeal.com/products-flooring.html.

Most flooring types available for trade shows are foam tiles and carpeting; Soft Wood trade show flooring combines the anti-fatigue properties of softer, foam-backed flooring with the high-end look of wood. Soft Wood tiles are durable and lightweight and provide cushioning for trade show exhibitors who are on their feet all day.

The Soft Wood interlocking tiles assemble quickly and are portable; they are 2’ x 2’ each and can be shipped via UPS or FedEx. Manufactured with high-density EVA matting, Soft Wood tiles are skid-proof and waterproof.

“Soft Wood was added to our trade show flooring products because it is the best wood flooring option we’ve seen,” says Mat Kelly, president of ExhibitDEAL. “It’s thick and resists cuts so it withstands the wear and tear of shipping and multiple uses. The feedback we have received on Soft Wood has been very positive.”

Trade show venues and conference centers will rent flooring for booths which can cost several hundred dollars. The benefit of renting from the facility is that the flooring doesn’t have to be shipped or transported to the show but the downside is that the flooring is only rented – for a few hundred dollars more flooring can be purchased and used at multiple shows saving money in the long run.

Kelly notes, “We strive to provide our customers with cost efficient trade show products that are high-quality, durable and portable; Soft Wood has all of these attributes and that is why we are excited to bring it to our customers.”

Trade Show Exhibitor Advice: Making Sales and Lead Generation

Making the most of your trade show
By Mat Kelly

If you are getting ready to set up a trade show booth for a show, then you are already being business-savvy and doing the smart thing. Trade shows are one of the best ways to market your products or services and advertise your business to interested buyers. Even for successful companies, trade shows can increase sales and public exposure dramatically. Trade show booths allow businesses to directly connect with the people that purchase their products or services.

Though the reasons for exhibiting at a trade show are obvious, simply setting up a trade show booth is not enough if you really want to make the most of your expense and time. Generating leads and making sales are your priorities and your trade show booth – both the physical space and the display – can help you do this. When you are displaying a trade show booth, you want to project just the right image for your company; one that makes potential clients want to learn more after their first glance. Although people’s eyes should be drawn to your trade show booth, it shouldn’t be because it is simply flashier or louder than the others. Flashy or loud may be good for sales if your business is video games or music, but if your business is selling gourmet foods to restaurants you probably don’t want to advertise your booth with a flashing neon light or loud ear-splitting rap music. Your trade show booth should reflect your company’s brand and market, while still offering just that little extra effect that makes it stand out. This may sound difficult, but it really isn’t. It just takes a little pre-trade show planning.

For the sake of keeping it simple, let’s say that your business is selling candles wholesale to retail outlets. You want your trade show booth to let people know immediately what your business is all about and understand immediately why your business is unique and worth looking into. Remember, depending on the trade show there may be other businesses that sell the same thing you do, so just simply stating your business name and what you do will not be enough. You don’t want to be obnoxious, though, so having a hundred lit candles placed all over your booth would be too much. Don’t overwhelm potential clients – it will turn people away. A better idea would be to display your best candles around the booth, unlit, and then have professional brochures placed next to each type of candle that you are advertising. Offer coupons for large discounts or money-back guarantees on a first bulk-purchase – this shows that you have complete confidence in your product. And consider a giveaway like a tealight or other small candle so attendees can take your product with them. This encourages them to use your product and to contact you if they are interested.

Remember that it is your expertise and professional demeanor that people will remember the most, despite all of your display magic. Though the day may prove to be long, remember to sound fresh and excited when talking to each prospective client. Every interaction is a chance to make sales and generate leads. Practice your sales techniques in front of a mirror if you think that will help. Ask friends and colleagues what they think of your sales pitches, and be willing to accept constructive criticism. Most of all, with each potential client, project confidence. If you can show that you really believe and are excited about your product, your enthusiasm will be contagious.

A trade show is a good venue to generate sales leads and establish new business contacts. Making a sales presentation is easy - you know your product and can speak to its features and benefits. You likely have several different presentations depending on the audience, length of time you have to speak and the product you are showcasing. Use these presentations while you are meeting with prospective clients at your trade show booth and you will feel confident that you are providing them with the pertinent information they need about your company and products. Think of a trade show as a place where you can make many sales presentations all day long to a targeted audience of people attending the trade show. This is the best way to exude confidence and make sales.

Using Banner Stands at Trade Shows

Banner Stands Increase Trade Show Traffic
By Mat Kelly

Attending a trade show can be a very effective method of promoting your company and its products. And one of the most effective ways to optimize your trade show display and increase traffic to your booth is through the use of banner stands. A banner stand for your trade show display draws attention to your booth and helps you deliver your message to prospective clients, current customers and business contacts at what is usually a highly competitive event. Your trade show display should stand out from the crowd, and a banner stand is a great way to make sure it does.

Banners themselves are typically constructed with either fabric or vinyl. There are advantages and disadvantages to each type of material, so you should consider how you will use your banner stand before deciding between fabric and vinyl. Fabric banners are durable and long-lasting. Fabric doesn’t reflect light like vinyl, which can decrease your banner’s readability. Fabric banners also don’t bend or crease so they travel well. However, fabric banners are not easy to clean and can become dingy or faded with time. Vinyl banners are easy to wipe clean and allow for brighter colors and sharper image definition on them making them more eye-catching than fabric banners.

There are many aspects of banner stands that make your investment in one worthwhile. Banner stands can be designed with your company logo or graphics, and include the important information you want to convey to prospective clients. They can be used in conjunction with a trade show display or on their own to advertise a product, announce an event, or showcase information about your business. They can be used as an extension of your trade show booth at a show because they can be set up in other areas like the show lobby or at the end of an aisle. Additionally, banner stands are lightweight, portable, and easy to set up and take down.

Once you have invested in a banner stand, you will find many uses for this vital piece of equipment outside of trade show displays. Banner stands are reusable and long-lasting. You might consider setting up your custom banner stand in a shopping mall to draw customers into your store, in a hotel lobby to direct the flow of traffic, at a movie theater to advertise an upcoming film, at a sporting event to showcase team information, or wherever your audience is likely to be found. The benefits of a custom banner stand will last your business far beyond trade show displays, and with proper care can be used for several years of succinct, eye-catching advertisement for your business or company.

Please visit ExhibitDeal to help you create the perfect banner stand for your next trade show. ExhibitDEal also specializes in trade show displays and mural design.

Trade Show Display Financing Now Offered by ExhibitDEAL

Financing program lets companies pay for their trade show display in installments allowing them to purchase the display they require.

SANTA MONICA, CA – Date – ExhibitDEAL, the Original Exhibit Wholesaler, is pleased to announce their new Trade Show Display Financing Program. A first in the trade show display industry, display financing was introduced by ExhibitDEAL to help businesses purchase the trade show display that meets their needs, not just their budget.

ExhibitDEAL set up the Financing Program to make it simple – after filling out the one-page application most customers find out if they qualify within 48 hours. Customers work with ExhibitDEAL’s leasing agent who understands the trade show business and the need to get the right display for a show.

ExhibitDEAL’s Financing Program grew out of a demand in the market for an alternative way to purchase a trade show display. Mat Kelly, president of ExhibitDEAL, explains, “Giving companies the option to pay for their trade show display in monthly installments, instead of all at once, allows them to get the display they want. Too often companies settle for a smaller display because of cost; our financing program helps them select the right display based on their requirements, not just price. And their cash flow isn’t tied up in a trade show display allowing them to invest in other areas.”
