3D Exhibits wins EDDIE Award

ELK GROVE VILLAGE, Ill. — 3D Exhibits, an award winning exhibit and event design, fabrication and management agency, captured first place in the 2009 EDDIE Awards. 3D Exhibits earned this honor with “Perspective Matters,” a self-promotional integrated marketing campaign implemented at EXHIBITOR2009.

Sponsored by the Exhibit Designers & Producers Association (EDPA), the annual EDDIE Awards recognize exhibit industry suppliers for excellence in their marketing and self-promotion. 3D Exhibits utilized a combination of direct mail, e-marketing, and in-exhibit  consultation to demonstrate that its team understands its clients’ perspective—and translates that understanding into creative, cost effective event marketing solutions that produce measurable results.

Through a pre-show mailer, 3D Exhibits introduced four corporate tradeshow team stakeholders (the team leader, the marketing whiz, the tradeshow pro and the sales guru) and their perspectives (budget, customer experience, streamlined planning, and results). The mailer directed prospects to an on-line interactive game called “Choose Your Challenge” where visitors selected one of the stakeholders, then learned how 3D Exhibits would respond to a relevant event marketing challenge.

The exhibit demonstrated the “Perspective Matters” message via a cost-effective custom rental environment where visitors shared their unique perspective one-on-one with a member of the 3D Exhibits team. “The exhibit and supporting program was a success because it was a tangible demonstration of our process and our perspective. With this best practices case study, attendees experienced for themselves how we create solutions that succeed from the perspectives of design, budget, management, and results,” says Gene Faut, president of 3D Exhibits.

In terms of results, 3D Exhibits generated several new client relationships and increased the quantity of quality leads versus the previous year—despite a decrease in show attendance. The exhibit also earned the EXHIBITOR2009’s “Best in Show” award for exhibits larger than 200 square feet.

Privately held 3D Exhibits is an exhibit design, fabrication and management company based in Elk Grove Village, IL. The company’s focus on client service, attention to detail and total program management has propelled the eleven-year old firm to an annual sales volume over $40 million.  For more information visit www.3Dexhibits.com.
