Making Trade Shows Work For Your Brand

To some people, trade shows are a necessary evil, while others believe by ignoring them it will make them go away. The reality is that trade shows are not going away. Just the opposite is occurring right in front of our eyes: They are becoming more important.

Because there are fewer of them, they have a higher value. Face-to-face is always going to be the best way to build relationships and sell products or services, and so trade shows will always be a part of our business.


The question really is, Are you and your company "all in" on trade shows or half-baked? Do you go through the motions? Are you there just to show others that you are there, or are you there to promote, sell, and get business, but just have not seen the results? If the latter is you, then let's talk.

Start with your goal from the show. In order to make an investment, you need to have a goal for how much you want to sell. Obviously funds are limited, unless you are Microsoft, so based on what you are investing in flights, booth space, people, meals, etc., you then should have a goal on how much revenue you need to bring in to break even, and of course make money. Doing a show without a goal is the first mistake a lot of companies make.

Next are the preparations to succeed at the show. Who is in charge? Someone must be responsible for choosing who attends, where you stay, having a pre-meeting, and putting organization to the whole process. How does your booth look? What do you want to get across to the visitors? How will your presenters dress?

Obviously we are biased, for all signs and apparel should be supplied by Speedy Signs and EmbroidMe!

Do you "work" the show, or are you there babysitting it? No food in the booth. No chairs in the booth. You need to be there ready to work. You need to have nice collateral material, and answers to questions from prospects. Never badmouth competition, it will only come back to haunt you. Follow the laws within the franchising community. Don't be an "information dump" to all the visitors. People can take in only so much on a trade show floor. Positively and professionally represent your company.

After the show, follow-up is key, and having a clear next step for your visitors is also. Do you want them to go to your website? Read your brochure? Fill out an application? Visit a franchisee? Come in for a meeting? Attend a webinar? Whatever you deem your next step should be is what you are promoting at the show.

At a recent show, one of the exhibitors was complaining about the attendance. Now this was an owner of a franchise company, and he was very negative. It was in front of his employees, which was uncomfortable. I had just come from our booth meeting where our director of sales was saying this was one of the best shows we have been at in years! Same show, in fact same aisle of the show. Why such a totally different opinion of the show?

We all need to be very careful on how we spend our advertising money, and that also goes to choosing the right shows. For some of our brands, trade shows are not the best way to build, but somewhere along the road they all end up at a show.

Whether it's an industry show, franchise show, or local Chamber of Commerce show, shows have been and will continue to be, an important part of our diverse sales and marketing approach in 2011. Trade Shows are one of the best ways to target an area and meet people face to face.

Trade shows work, it's people that don't sometimes. Attitudes will have a lot to do with success.

Signs for Buildings from Speedy Signs

"A good first impression."

The signage on your shop front is the most important statement you make about your business.

Let Speedy Signs design you a new look for 2011 and beyond.


Corporate Signs

What is corporate signage?
There are so many types of corporate signs and sign solutions that it is not possible to classify corporate signage in a sentance. But generally we see it as any signage in and around a corporate site i.e. plaques, directory systems, building signs, directional signs, health and safety signs, informational signs etc...

When arriving for the first time at an industrial or business park, how do you know where to locate the business you are looking for? Usually there is a sign at the entrance of the park with a map.

Once you arive you find you way to the entrance using a sign, once inside you locate the floor you need with a directory sign, when you walk down the corridor you realise you have arrived because you see the company logo on a sign on the door.

All of this falls under corporate signage.

Another area you will see corporate signage is on the side of buildings. Unlike most retail signs these signs are often a lot larger and often a lot higher, so a lot more goes into creating and fitting them.

Monoliths and panel and post systems are another area widely used externally in the corporate sector, as these can be very effective as a first impression.

How To Promote Your Business With Advertising Flags
People are always on the go with thoughts full of daily lists of thing to do. They don't stop to look at a business unless they have been searching for it. Advertising flags stop people on their tract. No matter what is on someone's mind, the constant waving of the flags in the wind draws people's focus onto what is in front of them and for a moment takes their minds off their daily list. 


That split second distraction and attention has put your company's promotion into the person's mind. They will think about your company and decide if they will make a stop now or maybe another day. And if this person drives by your advertising flag on a daily basis, the constant reminder of your promotion will eventually be ingrained into their heads.

Excellent reasons to choose Digital Signage for your business

For any company, advertising is one of the most important elements of their promotional programs. The entire brand image depends on how they sell themselves.

Therefore, by integrating unique advertising ideas through different advertising mediums, a company tries to attract as many eyes as possible. Gone are the days when an advertiser used to be content by placing posters of their products with the hope of catching the attention of its target audience.

No more of such passive advertising techniques are used. Today, advertising is much more competitive and aggressive. Evolving technology is changing every aspect of the paid form of advertisements.

With the new age tools and techniques, conventional advertising is taking great leaps in the form of digital advertising. Being a new medium, it is one of the fastest and most dynamic areas in the modern advertising industry and is capable of creating a superior quality of virtual world, generated through computer graphics and high-end animations.

Advertisers are going to every extent to carve a niche for their companies. Innovative ideas, creative tag lines and strategic placements of ads. The advertisers need to look at every aspect of the advertisement in order to survive in such a competitive ad world. Digital advertising comes here as a useful weapon to combat the tough competition. The latest version of the digital ads incorporates 3D animation, beaming sounds that help to cut through the clamor of a busy street and even fragrances and smells so as to catch the maximum attention of the passersby.

Digital hoardings, also known as digital signs or digital signage display messages and content. They aim to produce some of the most highly targeted messages to specific segments of audience and locations and at specific times. Therefore, digital advertising messages are more relevant and targeted to a specific segment and as such, can produce huge impact on the masses.

Digital advertising has the ability to deliver the ‘Point of Purchase’ by projecting dynamic, captivating and relevant advertising messages. Using digital advertising gives you the option to engage the consumers at a certain point of time and their attention is thus, virtually guaranteed.

One simply cannot ignore such catchy advertising messages while passing by a place. That is why these advertisements are placed on areas where the public attention is 100 percent guaranteed, like a bus stand, outside a bank, shopping malls and restaurants. These targeted places have better chances to get the maximum crowd and thus, the digital signage displays have more probability to get the maximum exposure.

A company should opt for digital signage in order to get maximum promotion, as it is advantageous in many ways. It helps a company to communicate about its brand. It is crucial for brand building and is quite ‘in-your-face’ or interactive in terms of spreading the intended message. Unlike the conventional form of advertising like the printed posters or signs, digital signage can offer great potential by providing superior returns when it comes to investment opportunities. Right from the outdoors and the conference rooms to retail, a digital sign could be a great way to engage and educate consumers with its innovative and unique display ideas.

Thus, you can build a great reputation in the market by harnessing the vast potential of digital signage. Digital advertising undoubtedly brings never-ending opportunities to your companies. While the traditional system of advertising is becoming a passé for several newly emerging companies, digital signage is acquiring the supreme position through the utilization of a wide variety of cutting-edge technologies and by the incorporation of attention-grabbing tricks, to convey your creative concept to the common masses.

Top 5 Tips for a Great Business Sign

If your business is in a high traffic area then you want to make sure you stand out from nearby shops. 

Business signs are a great way to attract interest and also build brand awareness. Unfortunately, not all sign services are created equally, so you need to make sure you spend your money wisely.

Top 5 Tips for a Great Business Sign

1. Remember your sign is a form of Communication to your business audience

It sounds simple, yet many business owners forget this. Your sign should reflect your attributes and competitive advantage. This is another reason to have it professionally designed by a sign writer. First and foremost, you should understand your target audience and carve into a specific niche.

2. Have good Lighting

This goes without saying, but have you ever noticed the amount of signs that are darkly lit and unreadable? Probably not, because you don’t see them, but they're out there. Make sure your not missing out on potential business by appropriately lighting your sign. Great vibrant colors do not hurt either, as long as they are aesthetically pleasing and not too obnoxious.

3. Make it short and simple

Do not overload your sign with too much information. Poorly designed logos will also detract from your sign. Signs shops are notoriously bad for creating logos (not all of them – but most). Instead, why not get your logo professionally designed by an expert? They are very cost effecient, but most importantly, provide an excellent return on investment. Your logo makes the first impression and retains your brand identity.

4. Be sure it’s big enough to be read from a distance

Be sure to check with your city office on sign regulations and ordinances. However, make sure your sign is legible from nearby vantage points and high traffic areas. Get as much exposure as you can.

5. Change it occasionally

You wouldn’t necessarily need to change the whole sign. Logo’s, color schemes, shapes should all remain consistent. However, it helps to add additional information about your business whenever possible. New sale going on? New event taking place? Adjusting this information may help your ability to get noticed by passer-bys.

The Different Types Of Business Signage To Market Your Business

A business sign is the first impression that many people have of your business. You want it to demonstrate quality, but be suitable for the business itself. While flashing LED or neon lights might be just the suitable touch to advertise a casino, nightclub or even a movie rental business, it may not be the most suitable for a funeral home. That’s why consulting with a specialist in the area of signage or engraving can assist you increase the effectiveness of your signage dollar.

The quality and appropriateness of the business signage extends to the indoor and the outdoor signs. Signs exhibiting the business name, signs giving information, door plaques, signs mandated by law, name plates and directional signs tell visitors something more than just the details you wish to convey, they tell a lot about the business. You want all business signage to be of high quality to demonstrate your extra attention to detail and give your customers or visitors the feeling of being in capable hands.

Every business utilizes a number of different types of signs. The most important, however, is often the sign with the company name or brand. Depending on the business, the type of material used for this sign varies. You might find that neon can add excitment or elegance to your business. The true professional knows how to work with neon signage to create all types of looks and combine them with other materials for signage to present the image you want for your business. Combinations of polished steel letter signs and neon can add elegance and make a distinctive difference in how visitors view the business. The use of frosted or clear Perspex plaques or a demure metallic sign can also deliver life to the outside of the building and express an eye for quality and detail.

In addition to the business name and brand, there are numerous informational signs for the outside that can aid your clients in utilizing your services or business. Signs that let the customer understand your special prices, signs with details for health and safety rules and even directional and parking signs add to the way your potential clients view your business.

Inside signs that give information also require a specialist in business signage. Since there are a number of different designs and materials, picking one that complements the interior design of your building is vital. You can select from the simple engraved plastic sign telling directions, identifying important places, hrs, rules and warnings. The interior signs with the company name and brand are particularly important by the front desk. If you have an office inside a complex, using business signage to show the company name and brand prominently has the same impact guests experience with outside business signage.

If you do business outside of the office, like carpentry work, bug control or repair services, business signage on your car can add a dynamic to your advertising. Everywhere you go, you’ll inform the people you pass about your goods or services. Business signage on vehicles creates a new dimension for bringing in new customers.

Required safety signs don’t need to be boring. You can make these attractive and yet functional. Choosing the right safety signs for your needs can help not only create an attractive area, but also attract eyes to the sign. No matter how many signs you have, if people don’t notice them, your warnings and rules go unnoticed too.

Identifying your staff should be as gracious as a personal introduction. Business signage of high quality as nameplates introduces your visitors and new workers to the people of importance in your company. Regardless of the material you use, a quality nameplate shows those named that you believe they’re important enough for the best sign on the market.

Outdoor Signage Can Get You Noticed in Your Local Market

It's hard to get your business noticed these days, especially if you're trying to get a new product or service off the ground. With the competition among various small businesses in your local market, it is important that you take time to plan and design the right signage to attract potential clients.

There is a big difference between outdoor signage and indoor signage. Outdoor signs need to get noticed. For example, billboards and banners for outdoor signage are generally designed to be bigger with louder graphics than the usual signs. Billboards are a bit more expansive and maybe a bit impractical for small business advertising. On the other hand, banners are the most cost effective type of outdoor advertising. Banners are seen, read and acted upon over and over again each day. Whether you want to create product awareness, introduce special pricing, promote an event or draw visitors to your trade show booth, colorful indoor banners are a sure way to make an impact and generate excitement.

Vinyl Banners can be used very effectively as outdoor signage. You can quickly draw attention and awareness to your business, new products or services with high-impact outdoor signs like this. They are practical because they are versatile, durable, affordable, and are very likely to get seen even from a distance. Another advantage of banners is that you can move them around easily. You can hang them in front of your place of business or find a location that has more traffic to help people know where you are. You can also store banners for future use so you can rotate different offers depending on your specific objectives.

Your outdoor signage is often the first thing a potential customer sees. Your sign should be sufficiently bright and conspicuous to attract attention and focus on the core service you are offering to let prospective customers know what's sold there. To get some idea at what calls attention, why not go around and see what catches your own eyes. Make note of colors, shapes, graphic style, font style, and determine whether a sign is placed too up high or awkwardly too low on a building. Remember that the basis of a good custom sign is the first impression it leaves on a person.

Use graphics that are simple yet memorable. You don't want the banner to have too many graphics. And don't make it look too serious because it can turn off potential clients. The goal is to drive traffic into your place of business without trying to get too much information conveyed all at once.

Outdoor signage is not just about banners. You can put magnetic signs on your vehicles, yard signs around your town and use digital signage where it makes sense. The thing to remember is that people want to do business with you but you have to let them know who you are and where they should go to do business with you.

Speedy Signs is a full service sign shop where you can design your own Outdoor Signage online.

Our award-winning network of sign centres currently consists of 23 locations within New Zealand. In addition to this, there are nearly 1000 other locations in 50 countires operating within the international network, truly making us “where the world goes for signs".

Operating in New Zealand for 12 years, we have been serving communities with quality products and customer service. Now that we have grown to become the world leader in signage, we still work hard to maintain the localised support and individual attention that made us who we are today.

Our commitment to quality is unmatched in the industry. We know the importance of brand awareness and the affect it has on the bottom line. Business Signage plays an integral part in the recognition of a brand and therefore quality is imperative.

At SPEEDY SIGNS, we believe in going the extra mile to produce more than just quick, standard signage. Each and every SPEEDY SIGNS centre offers a complete signage service that you simply cannot get anywhere else.

Whether one sign or hundreds, temporary banners or permanent monument signs, we are committed to providing an exceptional experience for every customer each and every time.
