Graham Construction Exhibition Stand

Today at the NEC we completed a 6×6 meter exhibition stand for Graham Construction. The stand showcases some of the best features available with a modular display system:

  • Backlit Fabric Lightboxes – Triple layer print helps these graphics punch out with LED backlight
  • Twist-Lock Frame – Rapid tool free assembly in a modular system
  • Raised Floor – Custom printed covering and integrated cable management
  • Gantry – Integrated AV display, fridge and LED panel lighting
  • Curved Reception Counter – with shelving and power
  • LED halo – strip lighting on the floor edge makes the stand jump
  • Fabric Ring – Graphics dropped from above showcase presence right from the entry point

Turned round in less than a week from artwork sign off to deployment in Birmingham, our client knows that when they want Branded Brilliance we can deliver, they just need to turn up.

When it’s all over on Thursday night, our clients have guests to entertain, so we go back in and dismantle, return to our warehouse and keep ready for the next show in a couple of weeks, but it’s not 6×6 – no problem, the stand is modular so we just reconfigure and customise to suit.

Our hardware allows for a custom built display stand in a modular system.

Marketing campaign for Mervyn Stewart

 

In January, their marketing manager Nikki approached us with a problem. They were hosting a launch event at their new showroom, but their current system for marketing events was frustrating and time consuming.

Their previous process was to send a generic email to their customers. They then had to coordinate several agencies to design, print and distribute a direct mail leaflet. They also had to call every customer to see if they would actually be attending, as there was no way to collect RSVPs with this method.

Our solution:

We proposed a solution to streamline the process using our Cascade Cross Media system, which combines web, email and print marketing into one system. It enables marketing campaigns to run seamlessly across multiple channels and types of media – that’s why we call it “cross media” marketing!

The campaign included a personalised email invite and direct mail postcard that directed invitees to a personalised website, where they could RSVP. Because the whole system is linked to the customer database, the website was able to autofill customer data.

We also built an admin portal on the website where Nikki could manage and add details of all attendees, keeping all the information easily accessible in one place. The system was perfect for the Mervyn Stewart team, as it took away the frustration of having to coordinate so many processes to promote their event, and gave them more control over the management side of the event.

The launch event is happening until Saturday 1st April. To RSVP visit rsvp.mervynstewart.com and if you think our system could help take the stress out of your next event then get in touch here.
