Stop the Spread of Germs at Your Events!

Image
Hand Sanitizer Stations are quickly becoming one of the most important products you can provide for your visitors. Their main benefit has become the mission of all highly trafficked events: reduce the spread of germs. The CDC advises their use whenever water and soap are not available. Outside of washing our hands with soap and water, alcohol based (60% or higher) hand sanitizers are the best way to reduce the spread of germs and help to prevent infection.  Hand Sanitizer Dispenser Stands don't require any connection to plumbing or electricity - giving organizers total freedom to position these where there is the highest volume of foot traffic. Using gravity, and optimized designs that are built to work incessantly - these products are a great long term investment to ensure safe and healthy crowds.  Each event wants to invite interaction so that a message can be shared. This puts people into close proximity with others, and encouraging good hygiene is a great first

Making the Most of your Trade Shows! Part 1

Image
The most common size of a trade show booth is 10x10. This space needs to be able to comfortably include you, your products, and most importantly, all of your visitors! Consider how your competitors in your industry will be exhibiting. To stand out, you may consider a size comparable to your peers. Depending on your company size, amount of products, and your goals, 10ft x 10ft may not be large enough. A common mistake many first time exhibitors make is building their space around a table. Consider how approachable a standing representative is compared to one that is seated behind a table. You want to invite people to engage with you in an attractive and friendly area, and unfortunately a table can serve as a barrier that can turn people away. If you truly require a surface for your literature, as a compromise - consider a counter where representatives can stand up and face your visitors. Is your space inviting? Plan your display items so that you allow for the easy flow of people

It's Not Too Late!

Great promotions take time. Often more time is required than what one person can reasonably provide. Are you planning a special event? A Trade Show? Or perhaps just adding branding to an existing event. Regardless of the scale - time is your most valuable asset, and we only get a limited amount.  Consider how even the most simple of events can be a tangle of logistics - it is easy to get weighed down with planning for each requirement. Successful timelines err on the side of caution - because it is extremely easy to underestimate preparation time. Many marketing companies will spend 6-8 weeks planning for an event - and can still sometimes run into unexpected complications! You may be given significantly less time than this from your client - what can be done? Most importantly - remember that you are not alone ! Delegation can be a great friend to you when in a time crunch. Portion out the big tasks to qualified and trusted partners. However that can also take time if this
