Economic challenges require marketers to be creative about optimizing their budgets. So Nomadic chose Exhibitor2009 to educate attendees on ways we can help exhibitors reduce expenses without jeopardizing program effectiveness. Our live presentation merged the questions from Exhibitor Magazine’s 2009 Budget and Trend Forecast, featured in the March issue, with solutions to fit virtually every audience member.

I. Custom Display Impact with a Lower Cost of Ownership
Custom modular displays continue to grow in popularity in part due to innovations that enable us to produce designs that rival traditional custom-built exhibits. But equally important are the significant benefits exhibitors enjoy including lower ownership costs and scalability which directly impact their return on investment. Custom modular displays are made of lighter weight materials and can be packed into fewer cases, resulting in lower shipping and drayage rates. And replacing system components is far less expensive than custom-built components. While individual results may vary depending on your specific design, we recently compared Nomadic’s average operational and ownership costs to those of the average custom-built display using industry published data sources:

III. Commitment-free Custom Tailored Displays
It's easy to understand why the demand for exhibit rentals is growing even during a recession. Exhibitors can enjoy their customized presentation at a fraction of its purchase price – saving 70-75% on average. Renting also eliminates the associated costs of ownership such as storage, “pull & prep” aka handling, maintenance, refurbishment, insurance, taxes and eventually disposal. Why commit to a specific size, floor plan or design, when rental exhibits offer build-to-suit flexibility from show-to-show!
In response to increased demand, Nomadic doubled the size of its Las Vegas facility and expanded its inventory by 30% to better serve its customers with a wider range of designs. Nomadic offers a complete turnkey service for everything from display rentals and graphics to transportation and I&D services. Nomadic offers exhibitors free delivery, free labor supervision and free consignment for all Las Vegas events. |

Pajama Drive Update

Thanks to ALL of You
Nomadic collected over 100 pairs of new pajamas for the Shade Tree Shelter in Las Vegas at Exhibitor 2009; the shelter serves over 3,000 homeless and abused women and children each year. Women often arrive at the shelter with nothing but the clothes on their backs. A brand new pair of pajamas is a small luxury that goes beyond serving a practical need to help restore the women’s sense of security and self-worth.
This was the second Nomadic sponsored drive designed to give back to women of the city so vital to our industry. As a woman-owned company, Nomadic has always helped organizations that assist women and families. Ms. Kelly Sargent, President of Brainstorm Marketing and a Nomadic distributor, is the founder of Helen’s Pajama Party to Protect Women. Kelly has organized the collection of over 3,000 sets of new pajamas for shelters throughout Iowa. |
