Corporations often need to exhibit at simultaneous trade shows in different locales and for different reasons. They often have two trade show exhibits in the same city at the same time. Going one step further, a company may even have two separate trade show exhibits at the same trade show.
Oracle is an example of a company exhibiting at two trade shows at the same time in the same city. Why does this happen?
Quite simply, each trade show appearance had a different objective. One trade show exhibit concentrated on new lead generation, while the other trade show display’s focus was on new product launches. Even though these trade shows differed, Oracle’s message needed to be consistent in presenting their corporate brand. Trade show visitors may have a different agenda for attending each trade show, but the corporate message must remain consistent and easily identified with the corporate DNA.
Every aspect of trade show exhibit presence also must match up with company promotional materials, advertising, public relations, online marketing, website and direct mail. Companies lose identity when they dilute their image with mixed messages. Marketing pros say the golden rule is to stay true to your corporate message, reinforce the brand, and let everything else follow suit.
Event Marketer Magazine advises corporate marketers to be wary of delegating trade show activities to their product development staff. Product teams understandably tend to focus on products rather than the corporate message. This can seriously undermine the corporate image agenda.
So, in order to avoid mixed messages, pre show briefings with all the trade show staff team are essential. Then be sure to keep communication channels open and ongoing. Be on guard for any off the wall, wacky surprises that could distort your presentation. Also, have company monitors drop in at the trade show booths on the trade show exhibit hall to assure that the discipline of your corporate exhibiting goals is maintained.
As an example, Event Marketer Magazine sites the experience of DaimlerChrysler. With some 60 national auto shows, DaimlerChrysler works with its eight business units to develop trade show programs for these multi-market trade shows. They then send staffers from zone offices to check on the execution at the trade show. “Although we all have the objective of moving the metal, we also have to maintain the brand consistency,” says director of global event marketing Don Schmid. “That doesn’t always fit into what the dealers want to do.”
The DaimlerChrysler zone staffers leave a show after a few days, and dealers are often tempted to add additional makes and models to the exhibit space. “They might try and move in 15 percent more vehicles, which makes the space look like a parking lot,” says Schmid. “We have to be ready at all times to play sheriff.”
When exhibiting at a trade show, here are a few things to remember about corporate image reinforcement and brand consistency:
Understand the basic objectives of the design your corporate look.
Adhere to the parameters of the corporate image guidebook. All visuals must meet specific guidelines. Be aware not only of the physical specifications of visuals but also how to incorporate them for trade shows with multiple audiences and products. Stay true to your corporate colors and fonts and be conscious of how the name of the company is used.
Be consistent in your brand “mindset” –whether it be upscale, sophisticated, young or old. Not only with the way your trade show exhibit looks, but also with the dress style and comportment of your trade show booth staff.
Be sure everyone who represents your company is knowledgeable about all communication aspects of the company. Be able to articulate the brand in trade show booth graphics, sales pitches, promotional hand outs, email and web messages, even on business cards.
Many brands such as Yahoo! in Sunnyvale, Apple Computer Inc. in Cupertino, eBay in San Jose, Google in Mountain View, Hewlett-Packard in Palo Alto, Oracle in Redwood City, and Sun Microsystems of Santa Clara have distinctive logos and have a certain “personality” and feel about them.
Although they are all in the high tech industry, each of the brands is noted for their individual character. All have colorful and consistent images. Their brands are distinctive and successful, and their representatives have learned to speak with one voice.
Your company’s brand image will have a much great return on investment if you enforce these
basic disciplines.
Brand Consistency At Trade Shows
All about Tucson shows
The Tucson Gem and Mineral shows are the annual site for the world’s biggest treasure hunt. Hundreds of thousands of gem and jewelry enthusiasts, wholesalers, buyers and designers make their pilgrimage to this traditional epicenter of the American jewelry industry. They all come to see the exhibitors which consist of miners, jewelry manufacturers, stone carvers, importers, beads dealers and other sellers. Tucson’s annual gathering is a winter event starting in late January and running through end of feb. Since the 1950s the event has garnered world wide recognition and has been attracting visitors from 45 international jewelry hotspots.
The focus is on gems, minerals, jewelry, rocks, colored stones and beads. These come in every international flavor, including Brazilian cut gem stones and minerals, rough stones from Africa, pearls from South East Asia, Caribbean corals, and Baltic Amber. One can also find home décor products, art, boutiques and gifts made from stones. This is all distributed amongst more than 40 shows spread out around Tucson.
Visitors attending these shows are primarily owners of retail stores looking for the latest designs to display on their shelves. Many of the shows are not even open to the general public; you must be a retail jewelry store representative to get in.

An Amazing 5 Step Formula Shows You How to Make Money Online
Follow these super simple 5 steps for making money online and get ahead of 95 per cent of other marketers.
*Step 1* Target a large group of people
First you need to research your intended market. You need find a reasonably large number of targeted individuals who have money to spend and a problem that
needs solving. To make money online you need to offer a great product, or service, that solves a problem for them.
You need to research:
(a) What are people searching for online?
(b) How many people are searching online for a solution to their particular problem?
First though, what should you be marketing in your proposed new online business?
Ideally, you should market something that you have a keen interest in, this will keep you motivated. You can find out what people are searching for at Google here: https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal and at Wordtracker.com who currently offer a free trial at
http://freekeywords.wordtracker.com
*Step 2* Locate a great product
Once you have researched your target market, it is time to quickly locate your products or services. If you have your own product great, if not then there are plenty of options to sell, or resell other peoples products.
There are thousands of products you can find quickly. However, marketing and selling a really good product needs a little more attention (you could create
your own but you want to get started fast, right?)
Next...locate your products
You can choose to promote physical products or digital online products. Digital products cover many different areas of interest and are incredibly profitable. There are no delivery costs with digital download products they are a good choice to promote as most offer good margins.
Here are some prime resources for sourcing digital products:
1. www.paydotcom.com
2. www.clickbank.com
3. www.cj.com
There are other resources but the above sites are a great place to start for all types of fast selling digital download products.
*Step 3* Market to your target audience
Now you have researched your chosen market, and located great products you can sell, it’s time to reach out and grab those targeted individuals.
So how are you going to attract your hungry buyers at little or no cost?
You MUST reach your target market in a way that allows you still to make a good profit. There are many ways to achieve this (that is another book in itself) but I’m going to show you the most cost effective way to market almost any product or service online. In fact it is so cost effective it won’t cost you anything (just a little time set aside to complete it).
So what is this free method?
Articles. Yes… article marketing is THE most powerful way to attract ready made buyers to your site for little or NO cost. You basically write something that is informative and of interest to readers of your target market, then submit your articles to directories to get them published.
The links contained within your published articles will point back to your website and they will lead targeted visitors to your product. Articles can also be a major factor in giving any well optimized site higher rankings in search result pages.
*Step 4* Offer a very tempting low cost (or free) product
When someone visits your site you must offer a FREE or relatively low-cost product to 'hook' your potential buyer from the outset. The aim is to get the prospect to ‘buy-in’ to you, so that you can start to establish a business relationship. A getting to know you stage if you like.
Make your initial offer very difficult to turn down and at the same capture their email address so that you can follow up if they don’t buy the first time (1 per cent or less buy on their first visit to a website).
Once your customer has bought into your first product, this could be a free email course, a "How to" ebook, a mini report or a cheap $27 intro product, you must then begin to build up trust and offer more expensive products.
The only way you can make a long term profit, and make money online, is by building on that first low margin sale. After the first sale you then follow up by offering ever more expensive products each time.
As long as the products or services you offer are good and deliver what they promise, you will be giving value for money. That’s what we all want when we buy something. That is how all successful companies and individuals make a success out of their businesses.
*Step 5* Follow up and offer more expensive products
Repeat the process over and over again with successful products and services and drop the unsuccessful ones. These simple steps may seem really obvious but guess what, most marketers don’t do it.
When you follow up with your customers you should be offering them related products to their first purchase. Use an autoresponder to automate your communications.
Follow this simple 5 step formula, research your idea thoroughly and you will make money online.
Where to Find Car Shows
Finding the car show of your dream may seem impossible but in reality, it is not. There are plenty of great places where you can search for your dream car show and with some creativity, you can find the show based on the type of car you are most interested in, or you could just search for any show that is close to where you are located. The options are up to you, and the fun of enjoying the entire even is possible with just a bit of planning ahead of time.
One of the best places to look for car shows are in your local event calendars. Most cities and regions offer these calendars and they can usually be found online as well. They will give you information about the location of the show, admission charges, what is offered at the show and any other detailed information you need to know. This will usually be a great way to locate those shows that are in your area that do not do much advertising as well.
Another option that you have is to do a search in your favorite car magazine. Most magazines have a place where groups can advertise the car shows that they are organizing. This will allow you to see shows from all around the country typically and possibly even some shows that are located in different countries. Each place has their own requirements and admission information that may not be readily available in the magazine but you should be able to find the dates and some general contact information to use to get more information if you need it.
If you belong to a car club, your monthly newsletter should also have some information on various car shows that you may be interested in. This is not always going to be an all inclusive list so be sure to look around in other locations for information as well to ensure that you are getting a good picture of all shows that are going to be available.
The newspaper is another good source. Newspapers almost always report on events that are coming up, and this can be a great way to get a good scoop on the upcoming shows in the area. Anyone who is organizing a car show in your area is going to ensure that their event is listed in the newspaper and this makes the perfect opportunity to find everything in a single place.
Some of your other options include doing a search on your favorite search engine for recent car shows. This option is most effective if you are not concerned with sticking within a specific region. It is often much harder to narrow down specific areas but it is still possible. This can often be a great way to plan out any trips that you have in mind to take for a good while into the future. This can also allow you to book hotels ahead of time for discounted rates if you are going to be traveling to the car shows.
If you are interested in attending tons of car shows, you are going to find plenty that will interest you. There are almost always at least one show a weekend and some weeks are busier with more than just a single show. If you are interested, you could fill up all of your weekends for a year or even longer without any problems. This would also be a great way to travel all around the country and check out some other attractions as well.
Never think that car shows are boring, if you find the good ones you are sure to have a great time and the time spent locating the show is a great investment. You are going to have a ton of fun planning your trip and searching for the car shows of your dreams as you can see is really a simple project.

What Judges Look For at Car Shows
Have you ever wondered exactly what the judge’s at car shows are looking at? Many people wonder and yet not everyone is always fully aware of what they are looking for. Of course there are different categories have different criteria about what is expected for each car. You are never going to please all of the judges, but if you know what they may be looking for, you can certainly help increase your chances of coming out well in the car show.
Clean cars, this is something that most people do not care about category for. The only time you should ever have a dirty car is if you just participated in a race as part of the car show. Otherwise, your car should be completely clean. This means inside and outside and no signs of dirt or debris anywhere. If you need to spend a few minutes after you arrive ensuring that it is clean and doing a bit of touch up work.
Scratches are something to avoid as well. Judges are not impressed by scratches and there is rarely ever a category or prize for most scratched car. Ensure that the scratches are dealt with appropriately before the car show. This will help improve your winning chances and the judges are much more likely to pay attention to how your car really looks, rather than their eyes wondering over to the scratches that you left in place.
Your tires are important as well. You may not realize it, but this says a lot about the way you maintain your car. They are looking for simply the best; judges are not going to appreciate seeing a year’s supply of mud caked up underneath the wheel well. They are impressed by immaculately clean cars, not those that need a through detail cleaning.
Some other areas to look at include paint, this may seem strange but the judges usually like to see something that is unique and creative. Just because your car was originally the same red color as the other 1 million cars that rolled off the assembly line, looking just like it does not mean it needs to stay red. Sometimes a new shade or even a completely different color can make a normal and boring car quite unique. If you have the personality for it a creative paint job can make your car especially memorable. After all, how many black, blue and red cars do you think the judges will see? How many do you think they will see that are lime green or even hot pink? Choose paint color carefully but look for something that is going to be memorable in a good way.
A final area to look at is the overall feeling of the car. You generally would not take a 1930’s Chevrolet and trick it out with rims, televisions and tons of other high tech goodies. However, at the same time, you should look for a few modern touches to make the car unique and enjoyable. Unless you are just trying to obtain the most unique award, try to keep your car styled around the same as it was originally just better if possible.
Ensuring that your car creates a memorable and positive impression on the judges is not always easy. After you participate in a few car shows, you should start to gain a good bit of ideas on what exactly the judges are looking for and ensure that you are fitting into their needs and wants. With some practice, you are sure to enjoy the sweet success of winning a few trophies or even a ribbon or two.

When is the Best Time to Go to Car Shows
If you are trying to decide on the best time of year to attend car shows then you are in luck, there are several times of year when car shows are highly popular however, they do start to subside during the winter months when it is very cold. Unless you plan on only searching for car shows that are indoors your best goal is to avoid shows in the winter unless you enjoy bundling up and venturing into the areas that are very warm.
Most car shows tend to be held in the spring and summer when it is very warm. The number of shows in the winter months tends to subside heavily mostly due to the cold weather and the holidays combined together that make it very difficult for organizers to have a large enough attendance to be worth the effort. If you are looking for the best car shows possible, you need to search heavily during the spring and summer.
If you are looking for the best car shows in terms of weather, looking in the late spring and early summer is best. This is the time of year when the weather is warm enough you can skip the heavy jackets, but still cool enough that you will not roast as you walk around the show grounds. It is very important regardless of when you plan on attending the car show that you dress appropriately.
For example, in the summer you need to wear short sleeves and shorts most likely, especially if the car show is outside so that you do not overheat while you are there. In the early part of the spring, you should wear a lightweight jacket in case it is chilly outside. If you are going to a show in the winter check to see if it is held indoors since many during the winter are. Choosing appropriate clothing will ensure that you are not uncomfortable during the show.
If you are taking children with you, you may want to look for shows that are in the afternoons. Late evenings tend to find children rather cranky and early mornings tend to also find children cranky because of having to wake up early. Looking to the afternoon time frame after lunch usually finds kids in the best moods possible and less likely to get into trouble and misbehave.
If you are going to the car show by yourself or only with other adults, you may find it is best to go during the early part of the day so that you can avoid a good majority of the crowd that appears in the afternoon. If you are looking for the biggest crowds of people then afternoon is generally going to be your prime time to attend. Choosing the best time to attend the car show is often going to depend upon your schedule with other activities in the same weekend as well.
Once you have a good indication of the weather and your schedule, it is usually quite easy to fit a trip to the car show in so that everyone is able to do something that they thoroughly enjoy without a lot of problems and hassles. If you have any questions about what to wear to the show or the weather always feel free to consult the local weather, or call the organization that is sponsoring the car show to ask. They are generally able to help you ensure that you are dressed appropriately and have a great time.
If you are quite uncertain over the weather, taking a change of clothes may be your best option to ensure that you are comfortable during the car show. After all, you certainly do not want to be uncomfortable or you may want to leave early which could have you missing out on a large portion of the show. Keeping yourself cool, warm and comfortable is a key need to ensuring that you enjoy the car show as much as possible.

What Can You Do at Car Shows?
Have you ever wondered exactly what you can do with your car while you are at a car show? Aside from the obvious of staging your car perfectly there are some things that you can do to help pass the time, or even help share your love of cars with the different people who are there. From simple things to those that are more elaborate if you talk to the coordinators of the show you can usually have a lot of fun and do more than stand beside your car talking to the occasional visitor.
There are many car shows that would love to have someone doing detail cleaning, or a bit of light bodywork, or even some minor engine work to show visitors what goes into the car. If you are skilled in any of these areas, you could volunteer to demonstrate these skills and help teach the visitors a few things. This is something that you can that is very inexpensive, allows you to continue working on your car that weekend and still enables you to share your love of the vehicles.
Other things that you think about doing is bring along a television and VCR and perhaps show a video of you doing some work to the vehicle that you brought. This would enable people to see how far the vehicle has come and what type of work was put into it in order to get it ready to go to the car show. Realize that most people have no clue what it really involves to get a car ready for the show. They generally think that all you do is roll out of bed the day of the show and decide to go.
You could also consider having plenty of pictures and a small table that you set up to depict the work process. This would be a great way to also allow people to see the process and without the hassles of needing an inverter or electricity for the television. You would be surprised how much small details like this can really encourage people to spend time by your car.
Additionally, if you are willing to talk about the history of your car and how you have worked on it this is another great way to share experiences. Not all people at car shows are willing to talk about the work they have done on their car, if you choose to share you are in the minority. What their reasons are tends to vary, but for the most part there are few who will openly discuss their work. Feel free to talk about it and share your experiences. You may help inspire someone to start getting involved with their own vehicle.
You should be very careful though and always discuss your plans with the car show coordinators to ensure that there will be no safety concerns. Additionally, some car shows do not allow demonstrations because they feel that they are distracting or pose large liability risks. As long as you have received the okay from the event coordinators feel free to have some fun sharing your love of cars and showing off your skills as well as your gorgeous car. Just always ensure that you are making sure everyone is safe first, so leave the welder and other dangerous equipment at home.

Tips for International Car Shows
Attending international car shows can be a thrilling experience. Regardless of whether you are planning to take your family or even your own car to the show there are some things that you should think about ahead of time. Always planning ahead can ensure that you are well on your way to being fully prepared and ensure that your visit to the car show is the best possible. Never leave things to the last minute to plan a trip if you are going to an international car show.
Your first step is to always ensure you know exactly the dates of the car show. You never want to arrange the trip on the wrong weekend or at the wrong period of time. This can be a huge and costly mistake that is not always easily fixable. Double and triple check those dates to ensure you know exactly when they are, and also determine exactly which of those days you plan on attending.
Once you have confirmed all of the dates for the car show start looking at accommodations. Pick out your hotel rooms early and ensure that they are booked well in advance for the best rates. Waiting until the last minute can force you to pay as much as double for the rooms that you would normally pay which is a huge increase and not something that is unavoidable. Additionally, determine if you are going to need transportation for the car show. After all, if you are taking a car to show, you may not want to drive it around the area where the show is. If you are not taking a car, you probably will not be taking a car.
Once you have your accommodations arranged and the dates picked out it is time to start handling transportation. If you are merely going to view the cars this is much simpler. Either purchase a boat ticket and take a cruise at the same time, or purchase a plane ticket. If however, you are planning to take your car you need to spend some serious time planning this. You are going to need to find out about shipping your car, ensure that you have all inspections for the vehicle done on time, ensure you have adequate insurance coverage for the vehicle in case it is lost, stolen or damaged while in transit and even ensure that there will be efficient transportation for the vehicle. This is not a simple task at all and can be quite a nightmare trying to arrange at times. Start in advance to ensure that this goes as smoothly as possible.
Some of the other considerations is you need to find out about admission. Regardless of whether you are taking a vehicle or not it is important to ensure that you know you will be able to get in. For example, if the show is by invitation only, you may be upset to discover you made all of the arrangements and are not able to get into the show. This can be a huge disaster, so always ensure that you know exactly what is expected in order to get admission to the show once you arrive. Call to check with the planning organization well ahead of the car show to ensure that you have the best results possible with this.
As you can see, a bit of preplanning is all it takes in order to ensure that your trip to an international car show is as smooth a process as possible. Never worry about the show being a disaster, with a good bit of planning you are certain to really enjoy the entire international car show experience. Never have any worries, with good planning skills you are more than certain to thoroughly enjoy the show and be quite excited about all of the prospects that the show can hold for you. There are so many exciting things at the international car shows and it is a spectacular feeling to attend.

Staying Safe at Car Shows
There are tons of car shows, and at all of these car shows there are usually tons of people. Ensuring that you stay safe is a necessary task to ensure that you are able to always enjoy the car shows, rather than being forced to wait around for the police or take a trip to the hospital. From crime to health problems, you need to be aware of some simple safety measures to make sure you leave without problems, and have a great positive experience.
Your first step should be avoid taking purses unless necessary. There are so many people in a small area that taking a purse is rather foolish. This can encourage the purse snatchers who are able to blend into the crowd easily. Instead, take just a small wallet that fits into your front pocket and limit the amount of cash you carry on you. Additionally, make sure you leave most of your credit cards at home, or in the hotel. Limit the amount of personal information you are bringing with you as well to reduce the risks.
Always carefully check out the weather during the car show as well. In addition to this information find out if the show is inside or outside and make appropriate clothing choices. If the weather is scheduled to be in the 80’s do not wear thick pants, heavy shirts and a huge winter parka. This is just asking for trouble and can leave you having a heat stroke. You need clothing that is appropriate based upon the weather, rather than based upon what you think the weather will be. This may mean wearing layers of clothing to ensure that you do not get cold, or overheat.
You should also ensure that you find out if there will be drinks and food available at the car show. Not all car shows have food and drinks and it is very important to ensure that you stay hydrated and do not lose all of your energy. Allowing yourself to become dehydrated is a huge problem and can leave you with no energy, or worse you could pass out. Neither situation is a good idea and with plenty of drinks is avoidable. If the car show does not have drinks there, make sure you bring plenty with you.
You should bring a cellular phone with you as well. At a bare minimum, bring some change for the telephone. Without these items, you could be stranded in the event of an emergency with no way to call for help. Having a working phone ensures that when a problem occurs you can quickly call for help and ensure that you will be able to reach someone. It is also useful in the event that you need to contact someone and ask for a ride, or just try to get in touch with anyone else.
Your final consideration should be shoes. It is not a wise decision to swear huge high heels to a car show. The terrain is usually a bit uneven and the ground is usually grassy or rocky. This can spell disaster in the wrong shoes. Wear something that is comfortable and secure that you will not easily lose. You should also ensure that you have something that is weather appropriate, for example no sandals in the winter. Planning ahead will keep you safe during all of the car shows you attend.

The Sexy Side of Vegas Shows
If you've never been to Vegas or experienced one of the many Vegas shows that are available to behold, let me be the first to tell you: they are not created equal. People will choose to see shows for many different reasons and there is no right or wrong reason to see any Vegas show unless you are simply determined to hate it from the beginning. Even then you might find yourself to be either mildly or wildly surprised.
I would be remiss if I didn't take the time to mention some of the wonderfully sexy shows that are prominent in Vegas at the moment. There are quite a few and will appeal to audiences on different levels and for different reasons, well some of them will at any rate while most of them offer universal appeal to certain members of the audience it is important to remember the statement I made earlier, not all shows are created equally and it doesn't really matter how beautifully endowed the members of the cast are if the show has no wit, humor, drama, or interesting points about it.
Les Foiles Bergere is one of the best examples of a classic Vegas style show or at least my interpretation of what a Vegas style show should be. This show literally sizzles with its sex appeal and is a great show to kick off your stay in Vegas. You'll be ready to roll the dice after seeing this show for sure. There are generally two shows offered. The 7:30 show is covered so that all ages can enjoy the show all others feature topless numbers and request that audience members be 16 and over. The show can be seen at 7:30 and 10:00 on Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Tuesday and Friday offer one show only at 8:30 and Sundays are dark. This is a can't miss show and a real hit for the Tropicana Las Vegas.
If you want to go even more darkly erotic, John Stagliano's Fashionistas is definitely the route you should take. This is a very erotic experience everything about this show simply sizzles. Not only is the choreography and costume design stellar, this show has some of the best music to be found in Vegas with songs by Evanescence, Madonna, Led Zeppelin, Lords of Acid, and Crystal Method.
La Femme, playing at the MGM Grand is a rather unique show, even for Vegas, in that it literally celebrates that artistry of the nude. The overall affect is a stunning visual display of light, color, sound, flesh, and dance. You must be 18 or older to attend this particular show and there is a dress code for the performances, which is business casual so come dressed appropriately.

There are so many shows in Vegas that it would be virtually impossible to mention each and every one. These are each excellent examples of the sexiest shows that Vegas has to offer. Only you can decide what you are comfortable seeing and if you're curious try one of the shows that offers an optional covered showing rather than making yourself uncomfortable or putting yourself in the position to be uncomfortable. The main purpose of going to Vegas is to enjoy yourself. Do what makes you happy.
