Product of the Month
Exalt™ Banner Stand
Make an impact anywhere you need a big graphic in a small space. Exalt™ is lightweight, convenient and flexible to fit your changing needs.
Unique curved, retractable design
With the simple flick of levers, Exalt converts from linear to curved. Connect three units together for an effective 3m display. Click here for an online demonstration.
Packs small and sets up with ease
One banner stand unit packs neatly in a lightweight, protective carry case. A complete unit with soft-sided carry case weighs about 4.5 kilograms.
The support pole sections are shock corded for easy assembly and packing.
The graphic panel is housed within the banner stand base. Simply extend the spring-loaded graphic and connect to the support pole.
Easy to change graphics
Exalt´s graphic exchange system allows you to update or change your graphics to target specific audiences without investing in new hardware.

Exhibition Tips and Tricks
Trade shows are a unique opportunity
Trade shows provide a unique opportunity that cannot be replicated in any other type of venue. The Center for Exhibition Industry Research (CEIR) revealed the following about exhibitions:
- 88% of attendees have not been seen by a member of your sales staff in the preceding 12 months
- Seven out of ten attendees plan to buy one or more products
- 76% asked for quotes and 26% signed purchase orders (average all shows)
- 72% of show visitors say the show influenced their buying decision
- 87% of attendees will share some of the information obtained at an exhibition
- 64% of attendees tell at least 6 other people about the event
- 58% attend only the show in which you are exhibiting
- 40% are first-time attendees
- It costs 22% less to contact a potential buyer at a show than it does through traditional field sales calls
- 54% of exhibitors do not set objectives, and a much larger percentage have no formal process to either measure objectives or report about what happened at their events.
