When to Effectively Use Banner Stands
Banner stands are a very popular marketing tool that work in many different situations. They can be used as informational displays in storefronts or used effectively at trade shows. There are many styles and types of banner stands that have their own specific purpose. Retractable banner stands are great for trade shows and traveling events. They pop up very quickly and assembly in a matter of seconds. This feature also makes these banner stands slightly more expensive that traditional solid pole banners.
Solid pole and spring back banners are great for in-store displays and for semi-permanent displays because they are lower cost than retractable banners with the same impact. We offer many different sizes so you can find a banner that will fit your trade show or store front. We can also combine multiple banners to make a graphic back wall. The low cost and versatility of banner stands make them a great option for any type of graphic marketing!

Economy Pop Up Displays
Economy pop up displays are a great options for some exhibitors. They are very affordable and will work with a tight budget. It is important to remember that economy pop up displays are a great deal, but they are not designed for long term use. We always highly recommend high quality displays because they cost less in the long. If you need a low cost, temporary display solution then economy pop ups are a great option. If you are looking for a product that will hold up year after year, show after show, then you should look at purchasing a Coyote or Arise pop up display. These displays will last for years and will cost less per show in the long run.

Different Types of Trade Show Displays
Trade shows remain one of the most effective ways to market your business. Even in a tough economy, it would be foolish not to take advantage of these shows. Most businesses, especially small businesses, have a very tight budget. I have listed a few cost-friendly trade show booths to consider when planning your next trade show.

Whether you want a large 20 foot trade show booth, a table top trade show display, or anything in between, the pop up display can be found in every size. Add graphics and you have a stunning trade show display that is sure to get positive results.
Banner Stands
These trade show displays are ideal if you have a tight budget and a small booth space. They take a matter of seconds to completely assemble and just as easily are taken down. Banner stands can be used long after the event is over, such as for retail promotional tools. The graphic banners can easily be interchanged, giving your banner stand a fresh look at every event. There are several different banner stands to choose from, including retractable banner stands, telescopic banner stands, and ceiling banners.
Truss Systems
These trade show booths come in several shapes and sizes, including 10x10, 10x20, and 20x20. Extra truss pieces can be added, allowing you to reconfigure the truss systems. The aluminum conjunctions are created to be extremely heavy-duty, yet are pretty easy to assemble, taking less than an hour. These booth displays have an open design, giving attendees and your staff more room to walk and scope out your trade show booth.

Is the Recesion Almost Over?
Today the stock market jumped again bringing the DJIA to over 9200. Many economists are calling this market rally a sign that the recession will soon be over. There are also economists stating that the market will fall again, even lower than the 6500 low we hit a few months ago. What does this mean for a company struggling to increase revenues and market share?
It means you can't listen to anything the "experts" say. Every industry is dramatically different and an overall assessment of the economy can not determine the potential for growth in an industry. Look at the crippled auto industry. Ford is pushing through this rough time and has yet to accept federal stimulus dollars, while GM and Chrysler are on the brink of disaster. This is a great example of how effective management and cost cutting can improve your companies bottom line. Cost controls, effective marketing, and valuable employees are the key to maintaining a profitable business.
Investing in trade show displays for your next trade show could give your company the boost it needs to get out of a slump or move up to the next level. Smash Hit Displays specializes in helping companies realize their exhibiting potential with out spending every last dollar. Our pop up displays have been very popular lately due to the great value they provide to our customers.

Attendance Up Despite Rough Economy
In an article today in Trade Show Week (http://www.tradeshowweek.com/article/CA6669867.html?nid=4680&rid=579526650&source=link) there is a prime example of what I have been referencing in my past blog posts. In its second year of existence, the Electronic Security Expo saw a close to 30% increase in attendees at the most recent show. This is due to the growing security industry and the demand for new technology. This is another industry that is thriving despite the overall slump in the economy.
The convention received a close to 70% re-booking rate from exhibitors showing their satisfaction with the results of the show. This article should be a key insite to the importance of finding your niche during this rough economic time. Exhibiting at a convention with good results for your industry and using effective trade show graphics is almost a guaranteed high return on investment. With many companies cutting costs and scaling back their marketing budget, it is a great opportunity for small businesses to reach out and grab a large portion of the market share that was hard to obtain in previous years.
Rember to always do you research before attending shows because a show that is not specific in your industry can end up with poor results. It's in your best interest to talk to a reputable dipslay dealer and others in the industry who know about different shows and will help you decide the correct convention to attend.
