Creating a Trade Show Budget
Dec 10, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Setting up a display at a trade show is expensive business. You have to rent the space, create a display, promote it, stock it, and "man" (or better, "woman") it. Before you decide to get involved, take a serious look at the costs of all of these components to determine if the ROI (return on investment) is sufficient.
Generating Traffic for Your Event Blog or Website
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
In a previous post I discussed the pros and cons of creating a special website (or blog) to promote a special event such as a company function or community event. Now I want to address the question: Is it possible to get some Search Engine recognition in the relatively short time your special event website will be in operation?
Creating an Event Website or Blog to Promote Your Event
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Much more important is whether or not your group has the know-how to actually create a website from scratch and then maintain it for a year or more. If you have an experienced web designer or webmaster on your committee he or she will probably be able to set the group up for next to nothing. If you don't, I suggest you find one before tackling the job. This is not the time for flying by the seat of your pants.

Tradeshow Booth Cures - Knick-Knack Knockouts
Aug 7, 2005 - Author: Patty Stripes
Strategic use of Feng Shui elements like light and color of can do a great deal to contribute to our trade show success. But in today's competitive environment, it's necessary to pull out all the stops. Don't worry, we won't ask you to trot out a "dog and pony" show.
Tricks of the Trade: Design your Booth for Maximum Impact
Aug 7, 2005 - Author: Patty Stripes
The fight for your customer's attention at a tradeshow has never been so intense. Budget cutbacks in the travel sector means that buyers spend less time than ever at shows.
What to Look for in Display Graphics
Aug 3, 2005 - Author: Rick Hendershot
Display graphics are graphic images used for illustration or "display" purposes. Display Graphics are usually printed on paper, vinyl or fabric using a "large format" printing device. Normally display graphics are over-sized graphics printed on paper or some other material, and then mounted or hung on a graphic display unit of some sort in a conspicuous place. The purpose of display graphics is to promote your product or service with impact, so they should be designed and produced accordingly.
Display and Banner Designs that get noticed
Jan 1, 2005
Author: Rick Hendershot
In advertising it really comes down to this: "Do you want your ad, your poster, your billboard, or your banner to be effective or not?" And now that we have that settled, why not try thinking of something that will get peoples' attention?
Banner Star Features Changeable Graphic
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
The Banner Star features lightweight aluminum end pieces that clip onto the graphic. So the graphic can be easily changed when it is time to update your display.
Throw in Another Banner Stand or Two
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Retractable displays are portable, easy to set up, and very inexpensive. In fact the price of these units has come down so much you no longer have to be concerned with amortizing their cost over five or six shows. A banner stand is inexpensive enough to be considered a one time item.
Make Your PopUp Display a Winner
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
The important thing to remember is that people are not going to walk up to your display and start reading the information on it. That is why a "graphic" approach is much more realistic than an informational approach.
PopUp Displays. What are They?
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
A popup display normally has only two main components, with two or three other popup display accessories. The most substantial part of a popup display is the folding frame which is normally made of either
fiber glass or aluminum tubes.

Putting Flash Video online using Flix Pro
Dec 30, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Flix appeared to be my sort of product. Free-standing, no hidden Macromedia-oriented agenda, apparently quite flexible, and lots of built-in "player" designs that should hold off for quite a while the desire to go into Flash MX and start designing new players.
Flash Slide Show and Animation Tools from Imagematics

If you are looking for a tool to take a series of digital images and turn them into a flash presentation, then chances are ImageMatics has a product that fits the bill.
Flash Media Alternatives - Camtasia Producer
Dec 24, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
I have have always been unhappy with the mainstream alternatives — Windows Media, Real, and Quicktime. What a pain having to encode for different players — and then trying to get those players to work. It is no wonder that rich media has been stalled for the last three years or so.
Revolution in Creative Media
Dec 24, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Everything from graphic design to animation to photography to video and audio production has been shaken to its roots by this revolution. Even the not-so-purely-graphics (or "media" related) creative arts such as writing, presenting, training, and, yes, even "sales" have been turned upside down by one or another aspect of the digital revolution.
Alternative Image Editing Software
Dec 23, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Ever since we got our first Mac (about 15 years ago) I've been using Photoshop to do image editing and manipulation. Not on a Mac anymore, but it's still pretty much the same old Photoshop. I really don't know what I'd do without Photoshop. How would I create all those quickie graphics I need to spice up our websites?

Should You Use Quark or PhotoShop for Your Large Format Design?
Jan 1, 2005
Author: Rick Hendershot
When you are creating large graphics for printing on trade show displays or large vinyl banners for backdrops and display areas, is it better to assemble your graphics in a page layout program like Quarkxpress, or should you do them all as one image in Photoshop or some similar program?

What Makes A Successful Speaker?

Author: Sandra Schrift
Fear of public speaking is No. 1. Death is No.4. So most people would rather get a root canal and pay their taxes than speak in front of an audience. Here are a few techniques to help you reduce your nervousness and present like a pro.

Vinyl Banners Don't Get No Respect
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Printing machines are now available that can print directly on both indoor and outdoor grade vinyl in stunningly beautiful full color. That means a graphic designer can take the same files she uses for her client's magazine ad or company brochure, blow them up, and print them directly on a very durable piece of vinyl.
Turn Your Vinyl Banner into an Advertising Masterpiece
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
In the advertising business you see rookie advertisers making the same design "mistakes" over and over again. They think people are going to walk up to their poster, billboard or vinyl banner and examine every detail. So they cram it with lots of product information, a detailed map of how to get to their store, and the phone numbers of all their sales reps.
Design Tips for Large Vinyl Banners
Dec 1, 2004
Author:
Generally speaking, a vinyl banner is easy to design. Anybody with a little bit of graphic design experience can design a banner. And even if you have no experience, your supplier (for instance America-Banners.com) can point you in the right direction, or even design your banner for a small charge.
Putting Images on Large Vinyl Banners
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
When you want to add a photo or image to a vinyl banner design, try to keep a few things in mind. In order to look crisp and clear an image must have the correct resolution. At America-Banners.com we try to keep resolution at about 100 ppi (pixels per inch) at full size.
Vinyl Banners are Not All Created Equal
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
But not all suppliers use the same process or the same equipment. Some use silk screening, some use low end ink jet printers, and some use higher end solvent digital printers. It is important to know the difference between these, and often you cannot tell by looking at the descriptions provided to you on supplier websites.
Super Big Vinyl Banners Can Be Like Billboards
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
Let's say your building is located along a busy highway and you have an empty wall exposed to the view of the traffic driving by. This is a perfect place for a Super Big Vinyl Banner. Because of the way Big Vinyl Banners are produced, you can make it almost any size. And hanging it is easy. Use roaps fastened to grommets along the top and bottom. Or put a pole in the top and bottom and tie your ropes to the pole.
The Top 5 Uses for Vinyl Banners
Dec 1, 2004
Author: Rick Hendershot
It used to be that vinyl banners were only useful as short term replacements for more "professional" looking signs. But the advent of digital printing has meant that vinyl banners can be printed in full color. And they are very inexpensive compared to the alternatives. This means that vinyl banners have a wide range of uses. Here are some of the most popular.
