Nowadays, trade shows are all about the SHOW… And it’s amazing!

October 6, 2009 Posted by admin

Remember when I posted earlier on my amazement concerning modern trade shows? I’ve kept researching the subject, and right now I feel like a complete ignoramus. I was completely blown away when I saw these modern Display Exhibits from a company offering Trade Show Exhibit Rentals… and I barely realized that was the tip of the Iceberg. Granted, these Custom Exhibits are impressive, and they provide small to medium businesses with amazing tools for taking part in trade shows… but still, it all pales in comparison with the hottest big-time trade shows which take place all over the country, all the time! I must have been living under a rock all these years, for never having noticed the amazing technological developments in this area.

Okay, in all truth I have watched my share of trade show videos in the past few years… yet somehow, I never really paused to realize: that’s the same kind of trade shows I used to visit all the time when I was a teenager! However, things were much different back in the day. Presently, trade shows have become amazing multimedia shows, with intricate displays, humongous screens and flashing lights. It’s not really about the trade any more… apparently, it’s all about the show! After getting all this information, I really feel like setting up my own booth and participating in a trade show related with my area of expertise; but I’m so overwhelmed I barely know where to start. Maybe one of you readers can provide me with some orientation? Feel free to use the comments box down below if you can come up with some good suggestions.

Today’s Trade Shows are not unlike yesterday’s science fiction!

October 6, 2009 Posted by admin

I guess this shouldn’t really come as much surprise (me being the tech type and all), but I should say… Trade Shows? They’ve REALLY gone a long way in the past couple of years. Yeah, the last time I went to a trade show there was barely even Internet, and I’m fully aware of how technological developments keep pacing up nowadays… but I was really caught by surprise, when I happened to come across a website specializing in Portable Displays and Trade Show Counters. From a technical standpoint, it seems as though trading shows are more sophisticated these days than a full-blown rock concert used to be in my teenage years! Check it out, this is what they call Modular Displays:

Looks really fancy, doesn’t it? Well, just wait until you see the more sophisticated booth, with built-in image projectors, and extended hardware… after seeing all of this, I wouldn’t be much surprised if they’d already come up with some kind of sentient trade booth that does all the promotion on its own! And if you think that’s an overstatement, think again! I’m not just talking about top-league trade shows, here! This is the kind of material that’s used by regular people doing regular run-of-the-mill trade shows. I’m really curious about visiting a modern trade show now, and I really don’t know what turned me away from the trading show world: I used to love trade shows when I was a kid. I’m really glad I found this, I will now investigate for shows worth seeing in my area of residence.

Heads up! It’s the XXI century already, in case you hadn’t noticed!

September 11, 2009 Posted by admin

It’s a whole new world out here in the XXI century, and from a business as well as a personal standpoint, we are left with two choice: adapt and evolve OR be left behind and collapse. You may think I’m exaggerating, but in all truth I keep coming cross clear-cut examples of how much anyone can benefit from keeping up to date with the latest technological developments and novelties.

A good example that comes to mind is business voice & data; there are nowadays some highly competitive services which oftentimes go by unnoticed; there are advanced business VoIP that will allow any company to make a drastic cut in their communication expenses. Yet, there are many companies that still use the tried and true old methods which sometimes cost several times as much. That’s just plain old stupidity, if you ask me!

I’m not running a business – at least not just yet – but if I ever find myself in such a position, one of the first and most important things I’ll do is going to be researching a good and modern business internet service; we’re living the heyday of the information age, and as such our lines of communications are so important for our businesses as our blood vessels are to our body. Feel free to keep living in the XX century if you feel like doing so, but don’t tell me I haven’t tried to warn you about the possible implications of such behavior!

Simple and practical solutions that help make a better world.

September 5, 2009 Posted by admin

When it comes to helping make a better world, I feel that sometimes we tend to lose sight of the difference between problems and solutions. For instance… in my opinion, there’s not that much we can do about the earth’s overpopulation – not on the short term, anyway. However something that we can indeed think about doing is developing strategies to handle problems that stem from such overcrowding. I was browsing this website on solid waste management and I must say I’m impressed. This is just the kind of thing that may yet help averting the end of the world – or at least the human-driven exhaustion of our natural resources as well as helping to heal the scars we’ve been leaving on this planet for such a long time.

Pre-paid custom VISA cards. Why? Just because we can!

August 23, 2009 Posted by admin

Now here’s something that wouldn’t have been possible a few years ago: Visa Gift Cards. In my opinion, it’s a great thing how technological developments keep providing public access to things that used to be corporate-league only. Nowadays, you can easily get a bunch of customized pre-paid credit cards for your company, your family or even your bird-watcher’s fan club! Granted, you may reason this is not something you’ll probably need anytime soon – but as far as I can see, just the simple fact that we CAN is indeed quite positive. These are all modern age tools, and it’s up to each of us to use them anyway we want to. And there is no limit, other than imagination! Think about it.

You think it’s just a website, but it’s actually your home on cyberspace!

August 21, 2009 Posted by admin

Sometimes I find myself musing on the parallels between Internet and regular life. For example, this morning I was browsing around some random websites, and I was vastly impressed with how badly messed up most websites look. The funny thing about it is that most people are very mindful when it comes to decorating their homes and making them look good and fresh. But when it comes to their virtual homes (i.e. their websites), well… I guess the cultural values aren’t yet properly formed, as to prompt webmasters to pay close attention to the look and feel of their websites.

My recommendation for these people is actually quite simple and straightforward: get some professional web design help. Granted, everyone can create a website nowadays – there are simple enough tools with widespread availability… however, creating a website and creating a pleasant-looking and efficient website: those are two different things entirely. So, if you’re running a commercial website and you’ve been wondering why those customers don’t stick around or come back, there’s a good chance your virtual home is passing the wrong kind of impression to your customers! Fortunately though, that’s something that can easily be fixed; just do yourself a favor and talk with a professional website design firm. On the long run, it’ll be well worth your time and investment.

There’s nothing like a summer evening barbecue!

July 4, 2009 Posted by admin

Today I invited a few of my friends over for a barbecue, and it was a pretty neat experience. HOWEVER, being the proper geek that I am, I’m already thinking how I can make it better the next time around. You see, I’m taking advantage of a little backdoor patio in my new house to bring out the best in the summer. And late evening outdoor dinner parties are one of my favorite things to do in the summer! There’s something really nice about eating outdoors in the cool, cool summer breeze after a long, hot day.

Well, that’s exactly one of the problems I’m dealing with to make sure the next barbecue is even better. The heat. Rather, the absence of a cool summer breeze. It was just too hot tonight, I was sweating bullets all through the evening… and the fact that I was in charge of handling the grill certainly didn’t help. So, first in my to-do list involves getting some Outdoor Fans (such as the amazing minka aire )to make sure there’s always a breeze when needed be. Now, second on my list comes a proper Kichler Landscape Lighting; simply because spotlight lamps (such as the one I’m using right now) totally wreck havoc with the whole summer evening lounging mood. Hm… getting all these items are gonna set me back a good chunk of cash, but I think it’ll be worth it! There’s nothing like a good summer evening barbecue I tell you!
