New Xpressions Products Available from Displayit

Xpressions trade show displays are famous for their innovative, 3-D designs. We've just added several, brand-new Xpressions items to displayit.com. Take a look at the latest products below!

 

Xpressions Lightbox

The Xpressions lightbox is a repositionable, 1x1 quad lightbox display, great for calling attention to the most important parts of your message. It's collapsible, and installation is incredibly simple (check out the video below). The lightbox uses LED technology, and it's compatible with most of our Xpressions displays.

   

 

 

Xpressions SHEER

Xpressions SHEER displays take the 3-D look of the original Xpressions exhibits to the next level. The back plane of the display is covered with opaque graphics, while sheer graphics hang along the display's front plane. The end result is quite striking, don't you think?

 

 

 

Xpressions Connex

Xpressions Connex offers exhibitors a unique take on the classic, modular trade show display. The modular exhibits are created by joining multiple Xpressions frames together, using a series of connecting shelves and graphic skins. You can create all sorts of configurations; the creative possibilities are endless!

I'm really excited about all of the new additions, and I hope you are too. If you have questions about any of the products, feel free to reach out to the Displayit team for more information. And for even more Xpressions products, you can visit us at displayit.com.

Have a great day, everyone!

Trade Show Displays: Buy, Rent, or Refurbish?

The slow economic recovery continues to affect many companies' bottom lines. While marketing is vital for drumming up new business, the marketing budget is one of the first to be cut when money is tight. Trade shows are a great way to get your company's name out there and engage with existing customers and sales prospects face-to-face; however, sometimes trade shows can be quite costly. Don't worry...if you've got a show coming up and can't afford to buy a new display outright, you can still exhibit!

The results of EXHIBITOR Magazine's 2011 Rental/Refurb Survey are in, and the respondents agreed: exhibit refurbishments and rental displays are great alternatives when you're on a budget.

We couldn't agree more. Displayit seeks to make exhibiting affordable for everyone, regardless of his or her budget.

If you're brand-new to exhibiting and you want to "test-drive" a display before committing to it long-term, consider renting a display. If you have an awesome new promotional campaign, but you're not quite ready to replace your exhibit hardware, then you can still give your booth a fresh look by updating your graphics. 

Whether you need a new display or a rental, a refurbishment or just some plain old advice, Displayit can help you with your trade show needs. Schedule a free consultation with a Trade Show Success Coach today!  

New Xpressions SHEER Teaser Video

We're about to launch another exciting new product: Xpressions SHEER displays. Xpressions SHEER uses the same patented technology as the original Xpressions pop-up displays, but it takes the technology one step further by incorporating dual-layered graphics into its design. Solid graphics are used on the back portion of the frame, while sheer graphics are draped across the front portion of the frame.

To really understand the three-dimensional effect produced by the Xpressions SHEER displays, you really need to see it firsthand. Take a look at the teaser video below.

Look for Xpressions SHEER displays soon on displayit.com.

 

Coming Soon: A Panoramic View

In a few weeks, we'll be adding an exciting new product to our online catalog: the Panoramic full graphic system. Panoramic displays can be used in a multitude of environments and applications, such as trade shows, point-of-sale displays, and retail.

One of Panoramic's coolest features is the fact that the entire display serves as a "canvas" for your message. Panoramic utilizes dye-sublimated SEG (silicone edge graphics), which are paired with anodized, aluminum extrusions. The graphics integrate seamlessly with the display's frame, and your message won't be hidden - merely the frame itself!

Additional features include:

• Tool-less setup
• Quick change-out and take-down of graphics
• Accessories for further customization (ex: stand-offs, monitor mounts)

The Panoramic collection will include counters, display towers, rooms, and backwalls. Each item would work well as a stand-alone display or to complement an existing trade show exhibit.

Look for Panoramic on displayit.com in the coming weeks!

                       

Featured Product of the Week: 10' x 20' KBline KB3MSS Display

The 10'x20' KBline KB3MSS display is a sleek, multi-unit exhibit, featuring three separate KBline kiosks and two large, dye-sublimated, fabric graphics.  

The first kiosk (pictured below, far left) includes a printed header panel, two lockable storage areas (one located at the top rear portion of the kiosk, the other located at the front bottom portion of the kiosk), a keyboard shelf, and a monitor mount. The monitor mount is able to support LCD monitors VESA 75 or VESA 100.

The second and third kiosks (pictured below, center and far right) each feature slatwall panels, attached to the exhibit with stand-offs, (perfect for showcasing new products) and two lockable storage areas.

Prices start at $9,790; custom configurations and laminate combinations are also available.

 

New Xpressions Configurations Available

The striking, three-dimensional Xpressions pop-up exhibits have redefined design standards for pop-up-style displays. With Xpressions displays, exhibitors have endless design possibilities and a one-of-a-kind look.

Xpressions' lightweight frames are made up of several square sections called "quads." Dye-sublimated graphic skins are looped over small, circular hubs (located in each corner of the quad), then the display is ready for viewing. The graphic skins can stay on the frame during transit/storage periods, simplifying setup and takedown.

We're excited to offer two new Xpressions configurations: kit M and kit N. Both new configurations are based on 4x3 quad frames (four quads wide by three quads high). 

Kit M's base price is $3,845, and kit N's base price is $3,420. Should you have any questions, feel free to contact the Displayit team. We're ready to help!

                                    

Product Video of the Week: Brandcusi Banner Stand

If you have any experience with BrandStand products, then you know they're reasonably priced, and assembly is a snap. 

We started carrying one of their newest products, the Brandcusi banner stand, in March. It features one of the coolest designs on the market, and it just won a Product Design Award from the judges at the EXHIBITOR 2011 conference. Check out the article here.  

The frame consists of labeled, corded poles, which snap easily and firmly into place. The double-sided, pillowcase-style graphics then slide over the frame, zipping closed along the top of the banner stand. Prices start at $455.

Watch the video demonstration below for a first-hand look at the Brandcusi's setup.

 

'Tis the Season...for Outdoor Displays

The year is nearly halfway over, and it's hard to believe that summer officially starts in just 15 days! What makes you think of summer? For me, summer brings all kinds of things to mind, like cookouts on the grill, beach vacations, camping, amusement parks, and music festivals.

Speaking of summer, summertime is also the prime season for outdoor events and expos. If you're planning on advertising at an outdoor event this summer, you'll need a great-looking, high-quality display that can withstand weather conditions that are often unpredictable. 

We've got some great new outdoor displays that we have just added to our website. Here's a list of some of our newest products:

Portable Billboards

• heavy-duty aluminum and steel construction
  
• tool-free setup
• flexible spring design for stability in light winds 

>> Spinnaker

• 8' x 8', dye-sublimated graphics
• base can be filled with water for increased stability 
• several units can be linked together to create an instant, seamless wall 
  

Flags

We've got other fantastic displays for the great outdoors as well, including sidewalk signs with graphics, A-frame signs, banner stands, menu signs, and sidewalk/floor decals.

 

Bear in mind that many of our outdoor displays can be used indoors as well; they're ideal advertising solutions for public venues such as airports, shopping malls, and arenas.

If you have questions about any of our outdoor displays, please feel free to contact us, and one of our consultants will be happy to help you. Enjoy your summer!

Featured Products of the Week: Triangle Counter and Triangle Display Tower

Looking for something a little less run-of-the-mill? Our triangle counter and triangle display tower are unique alternatives compared with the more "standard" rectangular and oval-shaped displays found on the market.

Use either item to complement a larger display, such as the Waveline, or use them as stand-alone products.

Both the triangle counter and the triangle tower displays include full-color, dye-sublimated graphics, which are printed on stretchy, wrinkle-resistant and fire-retardant fabric. Each display also includes its own carrying case. The triangle tower comes with three shelves, perfect for keeping products and demos eye level with your audience.

Setup is incredibly easy; each of these displays can be put together in 15 minutes or less. For even more counters and kiosks for your next trade show or special event, visit displayit.com.

Product Video: BrandStand Blimp Hanging Sign

At the beginning of the month, we told you about three of our brand-new overhead signs.

BrandStand, the makers of the Blimp tension fabric hanging signs, has put together a video showing how simple it is to assemble these signs. The featured product in the video is the BrandStand Blimp Ring, which comes standard with a tubular aluminum frame, dye-sublimated pillowcase graphic, and hanging harness.
