How do you determine Tradeshow Design & Fabrication Timeline?

Published: Tue, 12/01/15

Hello ...

I want to share a few new things this week with you from the busy TradeshowGuy outpost...

You may recall I launched my new book Tradeshow Success: 14 Proven Steps to Take Your Tradeshow Marketing to the Next Level a month ago. During the first three weeks of the launch, I released 14 videos, each one addressing one of the 14 steps in the book. I've collected all of the videos into a brief playlist (each video is between 90 seconds and 2.5 minutes or so). Check out the full list here.

We love our friends...always trying to help you out with information that you can put to use at your next tradeshow appearance. For example, the folks at Bartizan Connects have a new e-book on how to use Facebook with your tradeshow appearance. Pick up 10 Steps to Facebook Success at Your Tradeshow.

Next...I saw that Handshake has just put out a nice little collect they're calling The Ultimate Tradeshow Marketing Kit. Also no charge!

Meanwhile, back at the TradeshowGuy Ranch, I published a couple more blog posts in the past few days.

First was this: Tradeshow Exhibit Design and Fabrication Timeline, which will come in handy the next time you're considering a new exhibit project.

Pre-Show Marketing. Upon the new book release, a number of people contacted me saying that one of their biggest tradeshow challenge was around pre-show marketing. Of course, that's a step in the book, but I put together a quickie blog post to address it. Check the post here.

Exhibit Design Search: Is Your Next Show Coming Soon?

Finding the exhibit you want is not always easy. Well, it might rarely be easy. But we've made it much easier with Exhibit Design Search.

When you land at EDS, you'll immediately be presented with some options: search for 10x10, 10x20, Islands or other display types. Take some time and browse the exhibits from the size or type that you're targeting.

SECRET HINT: When you find an exhibit that MIGHT work, or at least one you want to go back to at some point to review or share with a colleague, click the button that says "+Add To My Gallery" and that design will automatically zoom into your new gallery (try it! it really does zoom!). Then when you've finished your search and want to share the gallery, click "My Gallery" at the top right navigation column. You'll be given options to share, reset, clear the gallery or ask for more information. This makes it easy to share the gallery among colleagues, for instance, get feedback, add or delete to the gallery, or start over.

When your next tradeshow is coming soon and it's time to consider new exhibits, this is the best tool you will find online. Guaranteed!

Bonus: Watch my Essentials of Tradeshow Booth Design Webinar, thanks to Handshake.com!

Until next time...

Sincerely,
