Click the Vote

We’re happy to announce that you can now VOTE for your favorite wall spaces on the Tradeshow Blues Wall. Every time you click a wall space a vote is registered and displayed prominently on the Vote Results page.

Vote now… and vote often… just like in real-life politics… Only there’s no politics here. No negative campaigns. No empty promises. No new taxes. None of that, thank goodness. And… it’s all good.

There is, however, a public option. You have the option to remain silent. But anything you do say may be counted in your favor. Exercise your freedom to speak out in support of your favorite Wall Space.

The Big Celebration

There’s a celebration going on and you’re invited. The Tradeshow BluesWall is having a Summer Wallathon and we’ve cut block rates by over 30% and… we’re giving away wall space (with acquisitions on the Wall of 100 Spilled Beans).

Connect to 1000’s of tradeshow enthusiasts (for fun and profit) with a wall space on the Tradeshow BluesWall. Or, find a great resource that will make you look good. In either case… it’s time to hit the Wall.

Get the Book

Tim Patterson (VP of Sales for Interpretive Exhibits) has a new eBook out and it’s available free when you click his wall space on the Available Talent Wall.

Tim is a very talented guy and has been compiling stories and experiences, tips and tricks for using Twitter to accelerate tradeshow success. and he’s made it all available now in a free e-book called Twittering Your Way to Tradeshow Success.

Giveaway Wall

On the other… it’s highly cost-effective. Please welcome the new Giveaway Wall on the Tradeshow BluesWall.

We decided that we wanted to provide a unique space where companies and organizations could give stuff away… and promote stuff that other people could give away. How fun is that?

It’s brand new so naturally the space is wide open. View it as a frontier, an opportunity, a canvas. And then think about creative ways to use the wall space for good. If you need some ideas… we have plenty… just ask.

More good news… there’s an intro rate available and that’s just frosting on the pudding. So remember… if you have something you want to give away (pens, toasters, trips  or who knows)… Or, if you’re in the promotional products business… this is the wall for you.
