The Special Events Show 2010: Reflections

January 19th, 2010

Beatles Backdrop | Backdrops Beautiful

Last week I attended the Special Events Show (TSE) in New Orleans, LA. I’ll post more later on some detailed observations, but I did not want to delay getting some initial thoughts posted.

First, everyone was talking about how much smaller TSE Show was than previous years. Some companies said they had great shows while others said the show was a relative disappointment for them. The show traffic was good in our aisle and the sponsorship of the lounge and stage backdrops helped direct traffic to our booth significantly. We had a lot of event professionals come by and say hello.

Number one reason to attend The Special Events Show as an exhibitor is to provide event professionals the opportunity meet you face-to-face and to test your product. “Seeing, touching and testing” is the most reliable way of determining if your product is the best option for the event professional. With over 6,000 registered visitors, 200 exhibitors and a multitude of seminars, everyone was eager to learn how to make their event more stunning.

Here are some of the companies that exhibited at TSE Show 2010 in NOLA:

ISES
NACE
Pink Inc.
SnapLock
Dazian, LLC
Amy’s Orchids
Catch The Moment
Backdrops Beautiful
AFR Event Furnishings
Event Planners Association
Association of Bridal Consultants
Freeman Audio Visual Solutions
Wedding Industry Professionals Association

The Special Events Show 2011 will be held in Phoenix, AZ.

UDMA Secaucus, NJ

October 14th, 2009

Backdrops Beautiful would like to thank everyone for stopping by our booth at the UDMA Dance Resource & Costume Show in Secaucus, NJ. The 3 winners of our $300 off backdrop rental raffle will be announced via email.

The Secaucus show was outstanding! Some school owners were so excited when they viewed our highlighted themed backdrops in our brochure that they decided they didn’t want to waste any more time researching for their upcoming dance recitals and booked from us on the spot!

We showcased our Dance Ballerina Backdrop as requested by our customers’. Rather than displaying a digital backdrop, we created a 10 x 10 version of our product to provide customers the opportunity to see, touch and feel the quality of the painted backdrop they will receive upon ordering from us. This backdrop attracts many people because of the vibrant colors and whimsical appeal that can create an impact at any dance recital.

UDMA’s Dance Resource & Costume Show in Atlanta, GA

October 2nd, 2009

UDMA Atlanta Booth Sept 2009 (1)

Last week we were greeted with great Southern hospitality while attending the 16th annual UDMA show in Atlanta, GA. Atlanta is a beautiful city with great landmarks and interesting sites such as the Coca Cola Museum, the Birth Home of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and Gladys Knight and Ron Winan’s Chicken and Waffles, where we chose to treat ourselves to a delicious meal.

Despite the flood earlier in the week and more rain on Saturday night, there was a good turnout of exhibitors and attendees who consisted mostly of dance instructors who came from all over the state and surrounding states such as South Carolina, Florida, Kentucky, and Tennessee to name a few.

We were so pleased to see and speak with so many happy dance teachers, many of whom were customers we had the opportunity to meet for the first time, face-to-face. It was also a chance to say hello to fellow vendors and network with CEO and Publisher Joseph Cote of Dance.com and Dancer Magazine.

At UDMA, we showcased our versatile Candyland backdrop which many responded very favorable to; “WOW!” was the common phrase heard throughout the show. Many commented that our Candyland backdrop was dynamically different in that it popped with vibrant colors and truly captured the theme! When they actually had the opportunity to touch and feel the backdrop, they were impressed with the quality and artistic workmanship.

Thank you UDMA for making last weekend’s Dance Resource & Costume Show at the Gwinnett Center a success.

We are now proud members of UDMA. UDMA_2

Backdrops Beautiful hits the road

August 24th, 2009

This year we decided to exhibit at various dance conferences throughout the country. Our first dance show was Chicago National Association Dance Masters (CNADM) in Arlington Heights, IL. The show was very intimate which provided lots of time to interact with many of the school teachers and dance instructors. Our second show was in New York, NY; Dance Teacher Summit which was put on by Dance Media and Break the Floor Productions. Staying true to New York City it was a grand conference with a little over 700 attendees.

As we continued our journey to exhibit our third stop was in Orlando, FL for Rhee Gold’s Dance Life Teacher Conference. Rhee Gold and his team put on a successful conference! As proud sponsors of Dance Teacher Life our backdrop Mystic Sky1 was hung on one of the main dance stages! Our final destination for the summer was in beautiful Las Vegas, NV for Dance Teacher Web Conference and Expo. This conference gave us the opportunity to meet and greet many new faces in the dance industry!

We’d like to thank everyone who stopped by our booths at Chicago National Association of Dance Masters, Dance Teacher Summit, Rhee Gold’s Dance Life Teacher Conference and Dance Teacher Web Conference & Expo. It is always a pleasure to meet our current customers, as well as build relationships with future clients. We strive to participate in as many shows possible and enjoy the opportunity to obtain feedback. We like to hear about what new backdrops are needed in the industries so that we may provide the best and most up-to-date selections for our customers. Please feel free to email or call us any time with your suggestions.

At Backdrops Beautiful we are proud of the quality backdrops we produce and are always ecstatic to showcase our hand-painted and airbrushed backdrops in all the shows we participate.
