Laura McLeod ,
owner of Trade Show Solution Center in Bay Shore agrees that illuminated
on-premise signage can play a key role in crime prevention. "Lighted signs
are good for your business and for the community," she says. "By choosing
illuminated signage you can boost your nighttime business and help take a
bite out of crime after you close up shop. Customers appreciate your
effort to light up commercial areas and police officers appreciate your
contribution to keeping the community safe." |

Laura McLeod ,
owner of Trade Show Solution Center in Bay Shore agrees that fabric is
fast becoming a material of choice for trade show displays. "Fabrics can
help change the way people perceive ordinary products by adding a touch of
class," she says. "Fabric is inviting, soft, and reproduces images
beautifully. This classic material is taking the tradeshow industry by
storm because a variety of textures and opacities offer you almost any
look you want at a fraction of the cost of vinyl." |

Laura McLeod, owner of Trade Show Solutions Center in Bay Shore, agrees
that trade show booths should be designed to maximize visual clarity.
“Whether you are using a basic tabletop display or a 40-foot exhibit with
all the trimmings, clutter is confusing,” she states. “A picture is not
only worth a thousand words, but it communicates the message faster than
words. Quality graphics allow an attendee to process who you are and what
you are selling. When you limit messages to eight words or less you are
increasing the odds that the message will be read.”

Laura McLeod,
owner of Trade Show Solution Center in Bay Shore agrees that 2005 looks
bright. “I’m very optimistic,” she says. “The overall economy is
improving. Business travel is on the rise. There’s no business like the
trade show business because it allows companies to collect qualified leads
from prospective customers, launch new products and build relationships.
There was never a question that the industry would make a comeback.”
Trade show professionals share McLeod's optimism that a full-fledged
recovery is in full swing. A Trade Show Exhibitors Association study found
that 35 percent of its members reported attendance at “key exhibitions” is
back to year-2000 levels, while another 23 percent expect attendance
recovery between now and the end of June 2005. Only five percent said the
industry would never return to 2000 levels. |

Laura McLeod , owner of Trade Show Solution Center in Bay Shore agrees
that lighting can make a dramatic impact on a trade show exhibit.
"Lighting can make the difference between a good return on your trade show
investment and a great return on your trade show investment," she says.
"You can have the best products or services in the world, but if you can’t
attract people to your booth then how can you close the deal? Lighting
gets people's attention."
Of course, not just any lighting will do. More convention centers are
banning certain halogen lamps in a move to ensure the safety. Typical
policies limit halogen lamps to 75 watts and they must be sealed to
prevent direct handling of the bulb. The ban came after convention centers
experienced several fire safety incidents. Lighting manufacturers are
answering the call with new products designed with trade show displays in
mind. Manufacturers that specialize in the needs of the trade show
industry are prepared with appropriate products. |

Laura McLeod, owner of Trade Show Solution Center in Bay Shore agrees that
quality on-premise signs make the roadways safer. “Drivers can see
marquee, awning or monument signs from a distance,” she says. “Legible,
well placed signage decreases the amount of time that the driver is
looking away from the road. Within seconds they can read the name of the
business and prepare to turn into the property. What’s more, studies show
that lighted signs can also be a major crime deterrent.” |
