Dear Exhibitors:

The origins of Oktoberfest date back to an 1810 wedding celebration outside of Munich. The celebration continues across the America today with people dressed in period costumes dancing to a live Oompah band and drinking large steins of beer.

Another German export is the aluminum extrusion exhibit system. These systems, comprised of vertical poles and horizontal beams, can be used to create a wide variety of custom exhibits. You have probably seen them in their simplest design as rental units from a show's general contractor. But they are used throughout the world to build multi-story, complex custom exhibits. 

As these systems are very practical for rental programs, you will see them utilized more as the US' custom rental market expands. Also, because of their world-wide use, an exhibit we design here can be built in Hong Kong, Munich or Taipei. Additionally each of the aluminum extrusion systems has a store fixture building component compliment.

So enjoy Oktoberfest and keep an eye out for that other German export, the aluminum extrusion system.
 
Sincerely,

Have you ever walked by a booth that was playing your favorite song, and before you even knew what your feet were doing, you were stopped and reading some exhibitor's graphics? You don't need an automated doggie dish refiller. You don't even have a dog! But something about that booth made you offer up two whole minutes of your valuable time. 

You may not have noticed what attracted you at the time, but you remember walking away thinking that you really need to get that CD back from your girlfriend.

There are many ways to update your exhibit to make it more inviting, but one of the easiest, most affordable methods is also the most overlooked. Music is a wonderful way to appeal to more show attendees. The best exhibit experiences are the ones that involve as many senses as possible, making the experience fully interactive. This allows for more opportunities to be remembered by your prospects.
There's a few things you'll need to remember when using this very valuable tool:

1. Make sure the music is appropriate to your corporate image. 

2. Upbeat music is the best. You don't want to remind your prospect about the ex-girlfriend who left him for her boss.

3. Music will keep your staff energized. Be careful not to play the same three songs over and over though, that's just gonna make them mad.

4. Finally, be conscientious with your audio. The goal is not to blast out your neighbors at the show. You should just be loud enough for passers by to hear the music distinctly.

5. Oh yeah, and whatever you do, under no circumstances whatsoever should you ever play Barry Manilow in your exhibit.

With today's economic climate, it is absolutely crucial that you get every penny's worth from your investments. This seems to be especially true for marketing expenditures. This doesn't necessarily mean using the same exhibit for 12 years though. You can make your investments last simply by upgrading/updating the graphics. Here are a couple examples:
 
Earth Tech is currently in the process of revamping their entire marketing image, but rather than purchasing a complete new trade show inventory, they've smartly chosen to update their graphics and use their existing hardware to reflect the company's new image.
When Rural Electric Utilities Underwriting Managers was purchased by Swett & Crawford a few months ago, they made the very wise and economic choice to simply update their graphics to reflect said change. This allows existing clients to recognize REU's old brand while introducing the new S&C brand.
