Banner Stand Displays Reorganized

We've changed the layout on our site to make it easier to find and compare banner stand displays. Previously, the products were organized strictly by style (like single-sided, double-sided, outdoor, etc.). Now, they're categorized primarily by price range.

The main product category pages have a new look as well.  It's easier to compare each of the products on the budget banner stand, premium banner stand, and multi-banner stand display pages based on their features and prices.

Take a look; we'd love to hear what you think!     

 

New Product! Pronto Retractable Banner Stand with Eco-Paradise Graphic

We've just added a brand-new item to our line of banner stand displays. The Pronto Eco banner stand features graphics that are printed (using water-based inks) on fabric that's manufactured from 100% post-consumer recycled soda bottles.  

Standing more than 7' high, the Pronto Eco is available in four widths (ranging from 23.5" to 47.25") and two base colors (silver or black). With a lead time of only 5 business days, this banner stand is also perfect for exhibitors on tight timelines.

Prices start at $399.

Coming Soon: New Xpressions Pop-Up Skins

We're excited to announce that we'll be adding new styles of graphics skins to our line of Xpressions pop-up displays very soon.

We'll have three new shapes available: hex, star, and triangle (see image below). You can incorporate these cool new shapes into your existing display to give it some additional depth, or you can update your exhibit with a brand-new look altogether.

Xpressions pop-up exhibits feature some of the most unique designs available on the market today. You can create a distinctive, three-dimensional look with two planes of integrated graphics. Additionally, the frame sets up in a matter of seconds, and the graphics can remain on the frame during transit and storage periods. Prices start at $770 for Xpressions exhibits designed for use in an 8' booth space.

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!

                       

New Product of the Week: Brute Sign Holder

The Brute graphic holder is designed for use in a wide variety of settings, indoors or outdoors, and it's as versatile as it is functional. Its contoured base offers stability on unstable terrain, and the Brute can be filled with water to further increase its stability. Use one sign holder to support smaller graphics, or use as many as you need for holding up larger graphics. (Note: One Brute sign holder is recommended for every 4' of signage.) 

The Brute can accommodate substrates that are up to 0.5" thick. The item is sold in pairs and is priced at $80. For more great trade show displays and event marketing products, visit displayit.com. 

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.

 

Featured Product of the Week: Curvette Rigid Sign Holder

Our Curvette floor-standing sign holder is great for a multitude of environments, including trade shows, retail stores, and industry conferences. This sign holder is designed to support a number of rigid substrates, such as Sintra, PETG, Coroplast, DiBond, and Plexiglas. 

The base of the sign holder is manufactured from portable, lightweight aluminum. Its unique design has two levels of adjustments in order to accommodate a wide range of substrate thicknesses. Compatible with signs ranging from 3/8" to 1.25" thick. A hidden, ergonomic knob (located underneath the base of the sign holder) is used to tighten the rubber-lined halves of the sign holder together and hold the graphic firmly in place. 

Five widths are available: 7", 14", 24", 36", and 48". For graphics measuring larger than 48", two units may be used together. Available base finishes include satin silver or matte black. Prices start at $63. To view our full range of sign holders, visit displayit.com.

'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.
