E&E Graphic Innovations to specialize in non-trade show, large format digital printing

E&E Graphic Innovations is open for business to offer companies in the U.S. and local Phoenix area a new, professional resource for large format digital printing. The new venture is a sister company to E&E Exhibit Solutions, a veteran in the trade show and event industry. E&E Graphic Innovations specializes in non-trade show large format printing, such as vehicle wraps, wall murals, window graphics and retail signage.

"We are launching E&E Graphic Innovations as a natural extension of what we already do on a daily basis in large format digital printing," said Cynthia Chaddock, COO/CFO of E&E Exhibit Solutions. "Trade shows, corporate events and brand environments are in high demand and we are positioned to accommodate each market. We have, in fact, been producing non-trade show and commercial graphic applications for quite some time."

Over the past 18 years, E&E Exhibit Solutions' graphic department has evolved tremendously due to increased demand from clients for not only a higher volume but also a wider variety of large format digital printing projects. In response, the company continues to invest in space and the latest printing and production equipment. "With this combination of expansion, upgraded equipment and expertly trained production staff, we felt that this was the right time to formally introduce E&E Graphic Innovations to the marketplace. Our current client base in the U.S. and worldwide can now benefit from a one-stop shop for all their graphic marketing needs, including vehicle wraps, event graphics and window graphics," Chaddock said.

The newest printing technology addition to the company is the EFI Rastek H652, the first entry-level UV hybrid printer in Arizona which delivers best-in-class photographic image quality. According to E&E's Graphic Production Manager Ronnie Collender, "This machine allows us to be more creative with sign making—trade show, outdoor, commercial, retail graphics or graphics of any type." The Rastek H652 can print direct to any rigid substrate up to 2 inches thick, including bonded metal, unfinished wood, low-pile carpet and synthetic flooring. "We can print on more substrates, at increased output, and at better quality," Collender said.

Michael Hannan brings 15+ years of industry know-how to growing trade show display company

E&E Exhibit Solutions welcomes Michael Hannan to its team of trade show professionals. The trade show display company hired Michael as its new warehouse manager. He leads a team of logistic specialists, who manage client exhibit properties and E&E’s inventory of exhibit rentals. Michael brings with him more than 15 years of experience in event logistics, including installation, shipping, audio-visual, carpentry and customer service.

“We are so excited that Michael is on our team. His prior experience and understanding of our industry’s logistic needs has already proven invaluable,” said Cynthia Chaddock, COO/CFO at E&E Exhibit Solutions. According to company President Daniel Chaddock, “Michael brings a can-do attitude to our warehouse. He works until the job gets done and is able to successfully bridge the gap between sales and logistics. Clients will appreciate how Michael treats each property like it’s his own and takes the utmost care when preparing exhibits before each show.”

Having spent a number of years working at other trade show display company warehouses, Michael has a mastery of servicing client accounts and understands the time-sensitive nature of trade shows. Michael’s goals for the warehouse and logistics department include hiring more staff to handle increased demand, improving the efficiency of current procedures and online systems and performing in-house carpentry.

“E&E is more a progressive display house than others I’ve worked at before. I also feel like part of a team and share in the successes of other departments,” Michael said about working for the trade show display company. Michael also has an eye for aesthetics and design concepts. In his spare time, he is a resident artist at a local Phoenix art gallery and specializes in found object art.

New, signature trade show display line is alternative choice to true custom displays

E&E Exhibit Solutions is proud to announce the launch of its new trade show display product line Novo Displays, a versatile exhibit system designed for today's trade show exhibitor. Novo Displays are lightweight, scalable and customizable solutions that offer exhibitors an alternative choice to custom-built displays. Novo Displays custom modular displays are available exclusively from E&E for purchase or as a cost-saving exhibit rental.

"Novo Displays are modular without limitations and designed to function in the way our clients exhibit. Today's exhibitor needs lightweight, easy-to-assemble and versatile displays to fit a variety of booth sizes. We can scale Novo Displays from table tops to linear and island display configurations without the added cost of retrofit kits," said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. "We put our name behind Novo Displays because they are market relevant, cost affordable and fit into our product niche of custom modular display solutions."

Novo Displays feature a sturdy, yet lightweight aluminum framework with scalable components, which allow exhibitors to fit their custom modular displays to any size booth—from table tops, to 10x10s, to 10x20s, to 20x20 Novo Displays islands and even double deck exhibits. The modern designs are centered around dynamic selling environments and are customizable with conference rooms, kiosk displays, storage counters, trade show graphics, custom lighting and more. Veteran and first-time exhibitors will also appreciate the finer details engineered into the system such as one-tool, no-hassle assembly and the exclusive wire management door, which hides cords and cables but provides easy access when needed in a hurry. All Novo Displays custom modular displays pack into virtually indestructible rotomolded cases and come with a lifetime warranty.

E&E’s Novo Display solutions are ideal for any company exhibiting at one event per year or marketers with a busy schedule of trade shows and other events. Exhibitors can also use a Novo Displays exhibit rental at a fraction of the cost of purchasing a new trade show booth. Because of this new exhibit system's lightweight framework, unlimited design capability, scalability and no-hassle installation, Novo Displays have the potential to save exhibitors thousands of dollars in production, shipping, drayage and labor.

Storage clients can access exhibit properties via web-based inventory management system

E&E Exhibit Solutions announces it has purchased a second building for the primary purpose of warehousing its clients’ trade show exhibit storage properties and the company’s growing inventory of exhibit rentals. Located in Chandler just minutes from the company’s headquarters in Tempe, the brand new 11,610-square-foot facility features 24-ft. high ceilings, professional exhibit storage racks and a ramp to facilitate loading and unloading materials onto and off of freight trucks.

“We are very excited to invest in the additional building to support our clients and growing business. Our new facility provides us with three times as much exhibit storage space and complete control over logistics, including staging, packing, shipping and receiving of client properties and exhibit rentals,” said Cynthia Chaddock, COO/CFO of E&E Exhibit Solutions.

Trade show rentals remain popular solution among exhibiting companies

E&E Exhibit Solutions, a Tempe-based trade show display company, is proud to announce its ranking in the Inc. 5000 list for 2010. This recognition marks the fourth time the exhibit company has earned a spot in the coveted list of the 5,000 fastest growing private companies in the U.S. Despite the recent economic recession, E&E Exhibit Solutions marked 16 percent growth between 2006 and 2009 and revenue of $3.2 million in 2009, claiming spot No. 4,577 on the list.

“We are extremely grateful and elated to make the Inc. 5000 for the fourth consecutive year. While most companies in the event marketing industry (including E&E) experienced a drop in business, we continued to diversify our offerings while improving our core disciplines in order to capture new business,” said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. “Over the last several years, custom rental displays are and remain a popular solution for exhibiting companies looking for unique and affordable exhibits as an alternative to cookie-cutter rentals from show management.”

In today’s business climate, marketers must use trade show budgets wisely. Exhibit rentals are attractive since exhibitors can save up to two-thirds the purchase price of the same display. With custom rental displays from E&E Exhibit Solutions, trade show exhibitors can still put forth a professional, branded display that meets both their budget and marketing objectives, Chaddock said.

E&E Exhibit Solutions ranks No. 522 in the Business Products and Services category, the top industry on the list by number of companies (640) and total revenue ($80.7 billion). E&E is one of 69 companies in the Phoenix-area to make this year’s list and ranks 74 out of the 81 Arizona companies represented on the Inc. 5000.

Top-selling Arizona trade show display company now offering new L2 custom portable exhibit line

Tempe-based trade show display company E&E Exhibit Solutions was awarded the Highest Sales Volume in a Mid-Sized Market for the fourth consecutive year by Exponents, Inc., a leading trade show exhibit manufacturer, at EXHIBITOR 2010, the national educational conference for trade show and corporate event marketers held March 14-18 in Las Vegas.

“Last year was challenging for most companies in our industry, as exhibitors were very cautious with their budgets. Our team of exhibit consultants fought hard to overcome economic obstacles and found ways to create affordable, yet custom solutions for our clients,” said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. “I couldn’t be happier that we are consistently a top producer for our partner and manufacturer Exponents.”

Since 2005, E&E has recorded high sales marks for San Diego-based Exponents and its popular LUMINENTS and LUMITURE custom portable and custom modular display systems. E&E has held the No. 1 spot since 2006, coming in second place in 2005. In 2009, Exponents also named E&E its Partner of the Year, for work directly related to the enhancement of Exponents’ extensive trade show exhibit rentals program.

At EXHIBITOR, Exponents launched L2, the latest generation of LUMITURE, the exhibit manufacturer's proprietary internally-lit custom modular display system. L2 is more portable, reconfigurable and scalable and is made for budget-conscious, large-scale exhibitors who value big impact. E&E Exhibit Solutions now offers L2 for customized trade show exhibits.

Arizona trade show display company’s growth fueled growing client base, increased trade show rental exhibit sales

For the third straight year, E&E Exhibit Solutions, a Tempe-based trade show displays company, is proud to announce its selection to Inc. 5000’s list of fastest growing companies. With growth of 102.7 percent and revenue increases of $2.3 million ($2.3 million in 2005 to $4.6 million in 2008), E&E Exhibit Solutions jumped 315 positions to earn the 2,788 spot on this year’s ranking.

“I’m delighted to not only make the list again but to keep climbing up the rankings. E&E has sustained this high rate of growth over time by offering a variety of solutions that support all aspects of our clients’ needs at trade shows, which creates endless opportunities for us,” said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. “We have stayed true to our core expertise in trade show exhibits, graphics and rentals, while expanding our market opportunities globally.”

Over the last several years, E&E has capitalized on the wide reach of the Internet, working with clients in 45 states and 14 countries. “As our brand continues to grow globally, we are attracting more international companies looking to exhibit in the U.S. trade show market. Our proximity to popular convention halls combined with our wide selection of trade show exhibit rentals and related services make our solutions more affordable than shipping exhibit properties overseas,” Chaddock said.

Despite this year’s economic turn, E&E has increased its revenue from trade show rental exhibits by almost 80 percent over the same period last year. Lower-cost trade show rental exhibits are increasing in popularity due to exhibitors’ dwindling trade show budgets. E&E has responded by increasing its inventory of rental exhibits. “By offering award-winning, customized rental display solutions at approximately one-third of the cost to purchase something new, we provide a financial solution to enable our clients to afford to exhibit at their trade show events, without losing ground in their market place,” said Cynthia Chaddock, chief operating and financial officer.

E&E is only one of 14 Tempe companies to make this year’s list and ranks 55 out of the 108 Arizona companies represented on the Inc. 5000.

The custom exhibit designed by E&E won Best Island Booth at the American Society for Training & Development's 2009 Conference & Expo

Hemsley Fraser’s new trade show exhibit brought plenty of words to visitors’ minds when it debuted May 31 at the American Society for Training & Development’s 2009 Conference – like “intriguing,” “interactive” and “just plain fun” to name a few. But chances are “rental” wasn’t one of them.

That’s because the ASTD exhibit – a 30x30 island displays designed around Hemsley Fraser’s “Espresso” corporate training program – didn’t look like typical booth rentals. Instead, it featured a custom “WorldCafé” scene, complete with “baristas” who provided visitors with espresso drinks and an overview to the company’s worldwide offerings in the learning and development space.

Despite its conceptual, highly-customized design, the exhibit wasn’t a major expenditure for Hemsley Fraser; it came from Arizona-based E&E Exhibit Solutions’ extensive trade show exhibit rentals, where clients can choose from thousands of components to create a nearly endless number of custom looks and functions.

“This design award proves that today’s rentals are more than simple pop-up booths or tabletop displays,” said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. “With our custom rental exhibit program, we can now create unique displays using premier materials for our clients, without the capital expense of purchasing the exhibit.”

In a year where many marketing budgets have been cut and some companies are skipping annual shows to save costs, Hemsley Fraser is one of many clients taking advantage of E&E’s enhanced rental options, Chaddock also noted.

“Clients are coming to us looking for unique, high-profile designs, but they’re also looking hard at costs and ways to save. Given that trade show displays are becoming more and more flexible, with many configurable and customizable options now on the market, rentals simply make sense for these clients,” he said. “Combined with high-quality, quick-turnaround trade show graphics designed and printed in-house, our rental program allows us to design exceptional exhibits while simultaneously providing more affordable options for our clients.”

For Hemsley Fraser, a global company providing corporations and other organizations with custom training and learning services, the design award at ASTD was just the beginning of their booth’s success.

Hemsley Fraser identified several hundred leads at the event and attributes its increased visibility to the booth design. “Our exhibit was extremely eye-catching and could be seen from anywhere on the trade show floor. The unique 16’ wall and overhead banners created a real sense of being in a place – the WorldCafé. It was a definite draw for attendees,” said Todd Turner, senior VP for the Americas at Hemsley Fraser. “The booth surpassed our expectations and made a real statement to the market that Hemsley Fraser is a serious player in the global learning and development space.”

The designation was one of four key industry awards E&E Exhibit Solutions received at EXHIBITOR 2009

Tempe-based trade show display company E&E Exhibit Solutions was named Partner of the Year by Exponents, Inc., a leading trade show exhibit manufacturer, at EXHIBITOR 2009, the national educational conference for trade show and corporate event marketers held March 22-26 in Las Vegas.

The award comes on the heels of a very successful 2008 for E&E Exhibit Solutions. In addition to earning a spot on the Inc. 5,000 list of fastest-growing companies for the second consecutive year, E&E also worked directly with Exponents to launch an extensive trade show exhibit rentals – one of the primary reasons E&E was selected for the Partner of the Year designation.

“E&E has been a top-performing and valued partner for many years,” said Rip Jones, vice president of sales for Exponents. “With their additional support in developing and launching a rental program in 2008, E&E has become a big part of our success and a unanimous choice for our Partner of the Year Award.”

Designed to help clients trim expenses while maintaining important trade show appearances, the rental program has been a hit amongst local and national clients – including LaPolla Industries, Inc., a Texas-based manufacturer of spray polyurethane foams and acrylic coatings with offices in Tempe, which used a custom rental exhibit featuring Exponents’ LUMITURE and LUMINENTS lines for January’s International Builders’ Show in Las Vegas.

LaPolla came to E&E looking for a new exhibit for its upcoming IBS show, but was hesitant about making a large capital investment during a tough economic climate – especially one they would need to live with for as long as five years. To help solve this problem, E&E presented LaPolla with a custom rental, as well as a three-show package at a substantial discount. In addition, E&E helped LaPolla repurpose some existing graphic elements, which further lowered operating costs. Finally, E&E offered LaPolla the option to apply a portion of the rental costs toward a new exhibit build, if LaPolla decided it wanted to purchase the exhibit after the show.

“In a tough economic climate, we believe it’s more important that a company be present at its industry event rather than cancel the show due to budget cuts. Renting an exhibit allows companies to exhibit without the capital investment of purchasing,” said Daniel Chaddock, president of E&E Exhibit Solutions. “By designing a custom rental exhibit package tailored to LaPolla’s needs, we were able to not just cut LaPolla’s costs, but put their mind at ease for future shows as well.”

Stephanie Gssime, marketing director for LaPolla Industries, agreed. “Working with E&E Exhibit Solutions allowed us to keep this important industry event on our 2009 schedule without committing to a new exhibit build up front. Thanks to their flexibility and willingness to propose lower-cost options, we secured a number of new leads and generated significant interest during IBS.”

In addition to Partner of the Year, E&E Exhibit Solutions also received two sales awards from Exponents during EXHIBITOR 2009, including first place in overall sales in a mid-sized market for 2008 – the third consecutive year E&E has received this designation – and first place for individual sales for E&E employee Pablo Enchinton, who also serves as LaPolla’s account manager. The company also took home a third-place award for custom modular exhibit design from manufacturer Nomadic Display during the conference.
