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.
Download a copy of the Exalt Brochure today. Or phone our Sales and Marketing team on 1800 077 419 to discuss your specific display requirements.
Exhibition Tips and Tricks
5 Tips for Goal Driven Giveaways
If you plan to use giveaways in your booth, what´s your strategy? An effective promotional product, offer or promotion should reinforce your company´s image and message in addition to supporting your communication goals at the show. With budgets tight, no one can afford to waste money on promotions that don´t fulfil objectives. So before you order those coffee cups, a quick review of the desired results might be in order.
- Do you have a new product or service and you want everyone in attendance to know about it? Choose a promotional product you can give to visitors you come in contact with.
- Is your market highly targeted? Choose high-end giveaways for qualified prospects and a lesser giveaway for everyone else.
- Want to pull your primary prospects to your booth? Try sending a giveaway or offer pre-show that has a second half or related item that´s obtainable at your booth.
- Want prospects to buy on site? Provide a special giveaway or offer for on-site orders with upgrades for the more they buy.
- How about lead cards? Offer a special promotion for those visitors who fill them out or sit through a presentation or demonstration.
