Trade Show Marketers: How To Make Attendees Willingly Rush to Your Booth


 by: Patty Stripes

Trade show booths are a lot like cars.
They all basically do the same thing:
they take you from point A to point B.
Some do it in sleek, chic manner, others with zip and zing, and sill others do it more by just sort of lumbering along.

And when it comes to your trade show booth, the last thing you want to do is lumber along.
You want a trade show booth with class, sass and kick, well, you know.

The absolute best way to ensure your trade show booth has just the right combination or class and sass is to hire graphic design experts to create the perfect trade show booth for your business.

Yes, you can buy a trade show booth that's more or less designed using a template, and it will look good.
But you want more for your booth than to just look good:
you want it to be stunning and hypnotic and suck people over to check you out like they will a lovely Jag in a mall parking lot.

Graphic designers know how to do this.
They'll take the time to learn about you and your business.
They'll look at all your marketing materials for colors and themes they can use in your trade show booth.
Professional graphic designers know their eye candy and can guarantee you will have a visually appealing trade show booth that customers will be drawn to.

More importantly, what professional graphic designers can do is to develop an overall marketing concept for your trade show booth.
Why is that important?
Every great marketing and advertising campaign has a concept, a basic message that it works to convey.
That concept will carry through all of a companies advertising and marketing materials by using various elements in them all of them to ensure that consumers are saturated with that message.

For instance, if your company uses the colors royal blue and white, you want these colors to be dominant in your booth design.
You don't want to go with purple and green for your booth, though you would definitely stand out from the trade show booth crowd using that combination of colors!
What would happen, though, is after the trade show when a customer saw your standard royal blue and white marketing materials, they wouldn't automatically connect those materials with your business-and worse, might toss them in the trash.

Professional graphic designers also know how color and visuals work together to be appealing, inviting and tell a story.
They also understand color and balance, and how to use them to get a response from the viewer.
And that response should always be something more than ?Oh, what a nice-looking trade show booth.?
They can create a trade show booth that will have customers going ?Oh, wow!
I've got to get over to that booth right now.
Gotta check it out!?

And really, why would anyone settle for being nice looking when they could be fabulous!
Or lumber along in a nice mini-van when they could just as easily be zipping around in a Porsche!

Just How Is Chocolate Made?

Just How Is Chocolate Made?

 by: James McDonald

How is chocolate made you are wondering? Chocolate is derived from a cocoa bean removed from the pod of the cocoa tree. Cocoa trees are found growing in equatorial zones in the South America region. Once the Cocoa beans have been harvested they are then placed into large shallow pans to be heated. This is also known as the fermentation process. In some regions where the climate is warm the beans may be fermented by the sun. Throughout this fermentation workers stir them often to ensure that all the cocoa beans have been equally fermented.

One of the first things that industrial chocolate manufacturers do is dry roast the beans. The process of dry roasting helps develop the flavor into what we enjoy when eating it. The cocoa nibs, otherwise known as beans are comprised of two very important ingredients: cocoa solids and cocoa butter. The cocoa butter is basically a fat while the cocoa solids are predominantly...

Get A Credit Card That Works For You


 by: Ron King

For most of us, hardly a week goes by without getting a credit card offer. If you are thinking of getting a new one, there are several key issues in choosing which is best for you.

They all advertise benefits. Which mix of benefits best fits your needs? That is the key. Let's discuss a few of the things you should be aware of before you do any applying.

What Will You Use The Card For?

This is the most important question to ask yourself. Your answer will help you decide just what type of card and what incentives will work best for your needs.

For example, if it is for business use, look for a card that offers cash back for business purchases or a membership to a discount buying club. Most companies offer a low introductory rate for a specified amount of time -- you need to know what the rate jumps to when that time has expired. It might work better for your business if you...

Design Tips for a Great Kids Birthday Cake

Design Tips for a Great Kids Birthday Cake


 by: Stephen Houlihan

These days, you can probably buy just about any style of child?s birthday cake already made. But there is nothing like the sense of satisfaction from making that special cake just for your child ? after all, they have each birthday only once!

There?s also the benefit of being able to control what ingredients are actually used in making the cake. Apart from producing a healthier cake, you can also cater for any allergies that your child or his/her friends may have.

Once you have decided to make the cake yourself, here are some tips to help you:

1. Don?t worry if you failed Art 101 dismally. Remember that kids don?t expect you to turn out a design worthy of da Vinci. Often they are more interested in the number (and color) of pieces of candy on top of the cake than the actual design itself.

2. In selecting a design for the cake, there are two main options: a specific...

Fun Treasure Hunt

Treasure Hunt...

Make a Birthday (or any reason for a gift) into a fun time for all?? First the short simple version:- Put a clue in a Birthday card that leads to another clue, then another clue, until eventually they find the presant..just like a real treasure hunt. For the finer points ..read on?.

For many years I have not GIVEN Birthday or Christmas presents to my children, instead they receive their Celebration card and in the card is a simple clue written on a piece of paper. (Depending on the age and ability of the birthday child would depend on the clue they receive).

The general idea is to play treasure hunt on whatever scale you feel the recipient can manage...E.g. Young children from 4 to 10 would probably be restricted to the house and garden. Teenagers may like to travel to local malls or shops..for adults unless you have a rocket to play with ..the world is big enough!!

Donald Trump?s Marketing Secrets Revealed!

Donald Trump?s Marketing Secrets Revealed!

 by: Dan Lok

It's official!

Now in it's third season, Donald Trump's killer television series "The Apprentice" is officially a "franchise."

With new seasons in the making, a clothing line that carries "The Apprentice" brand, DVD's in production, and mega-fortunes to be made, it's no surprise that the king of real estate... a man who knows a good thing when he sees it... is involved.

I like Donald Trump a lot.

Mostly because I learn something new from him every time I watch him in action.

One of the barbs critics aim at Donald Trump is that he's a shameless egomaniac who can't get enough of the spotlight.

Well, they may call it egomania, but from my perspective... it's a brilliant business strategy.

I'll admit it: I'm a marketer.

My job is to make people sit up and take notice of my clients (and their products or services), and to deliver a "brand" message at every...
