Exhibit Outside the Box

Wednesday, September 19th, 2007

I have been working in this industry for over 25 years and have learned that it is ever changing. If you aren’t able to change with it there is a good chance that you won’t survive. Obviously our bread-and-butter is in the sale and rental of exhibits to be used within the trade show venue, but there are many ancillary ways our products can be used to create new revenue streams.

We have recently branched out into Retail Marketing Kiosks for venues such as shopping malls, airports and grocery stores. This new market has been a real learning experience for us and we foresee a promising future. In order to succeed in this arena you have to change your marketing objectives as well as your profit margins. Planning is crucial. If your infrastructure isn’t in place, stay out of this area completely because you will learn a valuable lesson in finance. It is important to use the cliché “think outside the box,” but be cautious - for there may be a learning experience in the “school of hard knocks”.
