Post-Up Stand Reviews: We Love Hearing From Our Customers

Post-Up Stand — Wed, 04 Jan 2012 18:53:25 +0000

It’s important for Post-Up Stand to consistently improve our banner stands and trade show displays. Through our customer feedback we can continue to understand what’s most important to our customers.

Your feedback is exactly why we keep offering things like a 48-hour turnaround time and free canvas carrying cases with every order. It is our goal to make our banner stands and trade show displays one less thing you have to worry about when planning a trade show or event.

Check out one of the more detailed bits of feedback we received from one of our Post-Up Stand customers:

“I just wanted to let you know how thrilled I was with our banner stand!
We have a generic banner stand that we use at tradeshows that cost $3,000. Needless to say, I was a little worried about how my $240, completed in less than 48 hours, banner stand would compare. Not to worry – the Post-Up banner stand was fantastic. Excellent quality materials; clean, crisp reproduction, and a durable canvas carrying case I can check as luggage.

Your pricing means that my company can afford custom banners for any show … for every show; and working with you was an absolute pleasure. Needless to say, I will be recommending your product.

I don’t often make the time to send kudos — but your product and your service are so exceptional, I just had to let you know. We have another show coming up in June. We’ve already started planning on our banner designs.”

5 Best Social Media Event Strategies

Post-Up Stand — Wed, 07 Dec 2011 14:54:11 +0000

When you are attending a trade show, event or exhibition it’s meant to be a social experience. However, since it is offline, there’s no way for you to leverage your social media efforts. Or is there?

Social media can play a huge factor in your next event, especially if you know how to use it. It’s important for you to combine your offline and online efforts into one cohesive marketing campaign for your company.

Consider these simple ways to incorporate social media into your next trade show display:

1. Blogging – Obviously, if you are attending a local trade show or event, you need to let your audience know about it. Writing a blog post about upcoming events and trade shows can be a great way to generate buzz for your brand before the event even happens. Not to mention, getting inbound links to your website is never a bad thing.

2. Facebook – Leverage your Facebook and Google+ pages to incorporate information about your next event and where exactly your audience can find your trade show display. You can also hand out business cards during your event so anyone you meet can easily find you through your social media channels.

After your event or trade show you can offer promotions and sales through your social media pages to encourage new followers to make a purchase.

3. Twitter – Twitter is an excellent way to generate more attention for you event. While at the event, you can tweet updates about what is going on. By providing valuable information, you might be able to generate a larger following and encourage people to see your banner stands and trade show displays in person.

4. Hashtags – Another great feature of Twitter is hashtags. Using a hashtag for pre-event tweets and tweets during the event will make it easy for your followers to see exactly what is going on. Plus, if other people from the event or trade show use the same hashtag you can gain even more exposure for your brand.

5. Flickr – People love photos! What better way to promote your trade show display than by taking pictures of your banner stands and displays? Your fans will enjoy learning more about your company in a visual representation and it gives you a chance to better display your offerings.

Amplify your social media efforts to make the most of your next event or trade show. You may just be surprised to see all the attention your hard work produces.
