For this reason, companies are using multimedia to accomplish varied initiatives from familiarizing prospects with their products to training employees within the company. Using imagery, sound and/or text as stand-alone elements can be effective, but nothing can capture the eye more effectively than a skillful combination of all three.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

            <title>Maintaining Exhibition Standards with a Rental:</title>

            <link>http://tradegroup.com/blog/archive/2007/03/28/Maintaining-Exhibition-Standards-with-a-Rental.aspx</link>
            <description>&lt;p class="style2" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: windowtext"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;The Debate Between Renting vs. Purchasing Trade Show Exhibits Rages On&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="style2" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: windowtext"&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="style2" style="MARGIN: 0in 0in 0pt"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: windowtext"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;Over the years, management has tightened the reins on trade show budgets, yet expectations for lead generation and cost justification have climbed. The funds once allocated for an event went primarily to create an impression the day of; now, those funds have been dispersed and are expected to cover pre-show marketing efforts, the event itself and post-show follow-up. Additionally, marketers are facing more competition than ever in almost every industry. These macro-economic factors have facilitated a change in the trade show industry at all levels, but especially in exhibit purchasing. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p class="style2" style="MARGIN: auto 0in"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt; COLOR: windowtext"&gt;&lt;font face="Verdana"&gt;The solution? Rental. It offers flexibility and service previously unavailable in the industry. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://tradegroup.com/blog/aggbug/20.aspx" width="1" height="1" /&gt;</description>
