As you may have guessed, a $700 pop-up doesn’t carry the same warranty as a $5,000 pop-up. While your needs may not necessitate a lengthy warranty, you need to understand your options before you buy. Warranty packages usually cover the frame and graphics separately and range from guaranteeing nothing at all to covering some parts and materials for a lifetime. Prior to purchasing the exhibit, ask the vendor to explain all of their warranty options, and ask for a detailed list of what materials and components the warranty covers. Tradetec Skyline’s Mirage pop-up display hardware is covered under a lifetime warranty.
Some vendors sell strictly pop-up exhibits, while others offer a variety of these add-ons to complement your display. Before you make your purchase, think about all possible uses for your pop-up, and ask what add-ons your vendor can supply to support these needs. Then see how the cost of these add-ons comp
No, we don’t mean Bodie and Doyle... now I’m showing my age! So you’ve started your new business and the purse strings are tight (We know, we’ve been there!) So why should you be paying out good money for a logo that you could do yourself?We’ll give you a few things to think about below...1. Are You Memorable?The one thing you want when you start any business are clients/customers! You need them to remember your company name and image in a flooded market, so your logo has to be original, memorable and eye catching all at once.Most companies now have computer software that allows you to create images and text or even use clipart, but using clipart in your logo will limit your appeal, anyo
Answer: Simply by asking questions, you’ve already taken the first step toward a successful purchase. You’d be surprised how many people merely Google™ “pop-up display,”compare prices, and place an online order — knowing little or nothing about the quality of the materials, graphics, and services they’re purchasing and often even less about the vendor. When it comes to selecting a popup display, the old adage rings true: “You get what you pay for.” Pop-up prices vary dramatically, depending mostly on the quality of the materials and service provided. While a low price option may be exactly what you need, you’ll want to make a sound, informed decision. Tradetec Skyline Chicago’s motto is ‘’anyone can sell you a pop up display’’ our consultative approach is to provide valuable insight for you to consider before you make your first purchase.
Frame Quality
Most pop-up frames comprise two main components: rods or tubes, and connectors (sometimes called hubs), which connect the rods or tubes. The materials used to make these components impact the quality of your booth. Lower-priced pop-ups are almost always made of aluminum tubes that are riveted to a hub. While aluminum is lightweight, it has its drawbacks. If the frame is bent during use, it can become unbalanced, which not only makes for an unstable and sometimes unsightly exhibit, but can also throw your graphics out of alignment. Tradetec Skyline Chicago’s high-end Mirage pop-ups are made of Fiberglass or carbon-fiber rods. These materials also are lightweight, but they are almost indestructible and do not bend permanently. Hub quality also varies greatly. Skyline’s hubs are made of plastic and engineered to release upon impact instead of breaking. So if a rod comes undone, it can simply be reinserted on the fly. The same is not true with riveted hubs. The only remedy for a broken rivet is to send the frame back to the supplier for repair or replacement. If a rivet breaks at the show, you may end up with misaligned graphics or, worse yet, your damaged frame may be rendered entirely useless, leaving you without an exhibit altogether.
Graphics
While your frame is your exhibit’s backbone, your graphics are the face of not only your exhibit, but also your company and brand. So selecting appropriate graphics is critical. There are many things to consider when purchasing graphics — including everything from image and text selection to lighting, color matching, materials, file formats, file sizes, fonts, and so on. However, as a new exhibitor, you don’t need to be a graphics expert. Rather, you need to find a vendor with the knowledge and willingness to help you make the right decisions — one with which you can develop a long-term relationship that extends beyond your first purchase and through your program’s growth and changes.
Graphics vendors typically fall into one of these four groups: 1) exhibit or graphics suppliers that sell only fabric panels rather than large-format graphics, 2) exhibit suppliers that outsource graphics production and resell them to clients, 3) exhibit vendors that produce multiple types of graphics in-house, and 4) graphics suppliers that sell only graphics, rather than entire exhibits. While you may need only a fabric panel supplier, most new exhibitors want a graphics/exhibit vendor with a wide range of knowledge and a consultative approach to client communication. For example, Tradetec Skyline is willing and able to talk to you about the pros and cons of fabric graphics vs. laminated options, as well as the problems associated with inkjet, Lambda, paper substrate choices, and so on. And when it comes to graphics formats, file types,and sizes, you need a supplier that not only knows its stuff, but that can communicate requirements in a language even Elmo could understand.
As a new exhibitor, ask a lot of these types of basic graphics questions before you sign on the dotted line. The vendor’s willingness to answer your questions and the thoroughness of the answers provided will clue you in to the service you can expect down the road. If the vendor becomes impatient before you’ve made a purchase, imagine the service you’ll get after it has pocketed your cash.

Are you adding value to your organization? Is your team 'valuable' to the organization? How are you measuring that value?In my work I've become aware ... and I must say frustrated that employees are unable, unwilling and unaware that they are responsible and have an obligation to know their value and communicate their value to the organization. Senior leaders (CEO, Bd of Directors, SVP of HR/Sales/Operations) all are seeking to strategize and evaluate performance, productivity and profitability of their products, services and people. Products and services are innate, they are what they are and can be evaluated based on sales, quality and perceived value.People however are humans. They have the power of choice which

Recently, I needed to get a brand new clothes dryer repaired that refused to generate hot air.I phoned the warranty folks and they told me, because it was Christmas time, I’d have to wait about a week and a half before I could dry my clothes.When the guy arrived, he scoped out the machine and said I bought the wrong model, they’ve had a lot of trouble with that one, and if I begged the manufacturer, it might replace the unit, altogether.I told him that wasn't what I needed. I'd settle for some dry clothes, today.“Oh, well it seems you need some parts. I’ll order them and let’s set another appointment a week and a half from now."“What? You came out here a week late with no parts on the truck?”e vendor becomes impatient before you’ve made a purchase, imagine the service you’ll get after it has pocketed your cash.

Vendor History
Many vendors sell pop-up displays; however, much like their products, many companies pop up today and are gone tomorrow — often leaving you with a questionable warranty and no means of service. Prior to purchase, be sure to investigate the vendor’s history in terms of not only the number of years it has been in business but also how long it has maintained its clients — a factor that will provide valuable insight into the level of service it provides over the long haul.
