Happy US Small Business Week!

You guessed it right, this week is Small Business Week!

National Small Business Week recognizes the importance of small business to the U.S. economy. It celebrates small business owners who are willing to take risks and work very hard to accomplish a better life for themselves and their families. This year, National Small Business Week takes place May 16-20.

"Every year since 1963, the President of the United States has proclaimed National Small Business Week to recognize the contributions of small businesses to the economic well-being of America. As part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business Administration recognizes this special impact made by outstanding entrepreneurs and small business owners. In 2011, National Small Business Week will honor the estimated 27.2 million small businesses in America. Small businesses are major contributors to the strength of the American economy. More than half of Americans either own or work for a small business. They also create 60-80 percent of new jobs in the country. Small businesses drive innovation, create 21st century jobs and increase U.S. competitiveness." - nationalsmallbusinessweek.com -

A Must Know Tradeshow Strategy

At tradeshows or expos the way a company presents its booth is crucial.

In this kind of events we need to standout from other exhibitors getting people's attention and making them to stop by.

For sure, you need a vinyl banner with the company's logo or name, that's the best way to "dress" your booth and make people to know who they are talking to.

However, we need to be very careful here. Some people use "template" banners, the ones that look like a cookie cutter design. These kind of banner could potentially damage your brand because they don't look professional.

Alternatively, we have custom made banners, which are created by a design artist following the company specifications. With a good design, you have the capability to transmit your company's vision and also by using the adequate colors, you can influence positively in your prospects making them more willing to listen to your offer or even better to buy your products.

Your brand image is one of your more important assets, don't put it in jeopardy!
