Businesses have to make a living all year round and many companies participate in various trade shows and exhibitions that run all through the year. So how can you bring your business to the attention of potential customers?

Of course you could simply use a plain instant shelter or marquee to stake your turf amongst the other businesses, but how do you stand out from the crowd? Even in large exhibition halls, how will your company stand out in the competition?

The answer is simple! Use a custom, digitally printed marquee with your logo, company name, website address or phone number and products featured on the roof and sides for everyone to see.

All successful business and companies’ exhibit, hold events and run promotions at different times of the year, as they are essential to build your brand awareness and increase sales.   Businesses displaying their products or promoting their services are often under the cover of their own instant shelter, marquee or gazebo. But you can maximize your exposure with a fully branded gazebo or promotional marquee.

So what are the benefits of purchasing promotional branded gazebos?  A positive professional image of your business.  Image is everything for customers and if your outdoor display stand looks good, then customers will presume that your services and products are also good.

If you are exhibiting at a large show, image is very important particularly if you are a small business or sole trader looking for similar exposure as the larger companies also exhibiting.  Promotional marquees are a great way to get your contact details or website address known and show you are in contention with the bigger companies.

POD Outdoor Displays have experience in producing highly effective branded gazebos, turning a plain dull event tent into a brilliant advertising and marketing too.  With amazing digital printing processes available today, we can supply a promotional marquee that will really stand out from the crowd.

A great way for website owners to categorize their articles, posts or any information related to specific areas or states is to have a clickable map on their web site instead of a dull list of links on the page.

I’ve seen some great examples using JQuery plugin MapHilight to create excellent hover over effects for county and state maps of the world. It has revitalized interest in using such a technique to present clickable maps at your website or blog.

Creating a perfect hover over effect for any image map is an ordeal and plotting coordinates to make this effect is even more time consuming but very worthwhile as you can see in this demo clickable map of the UK and Ireland. If you dont pay attention to detail the effect is lost and it wont look good. Perfectly plotted coordinates for county and state maps make a big difference.

However, if you want to have your own design before we even start to plot coordinates you’ll want to make a decent clickable map image and this is a task untoo itself. Tracing borders and states is a time consuming business for any webmaster. I found already made layered Photoshop Image Files of popular country maps complete with all state borders traced with guidance from Wikipedia.

I don’t think there’s really a need to go through the pain of spending hours, days, even weeks making website maps, when you can find ready made clickable maps at about 600 pixels width if you look hard enough like this clickable map of the USA and all the state maps too

If ever you need a clickable map of PORTUGAL, EUROPE, GERMANY, FRANCE and ASIA there are some great maps to download with editable photoshop images and html code to save yourself a mountain of precious time. One last note: Joomla users can experience difficulty adding image maps to their pages, some of these maps have a solution for this proble… that’s a big relief for Joomla users that have tried and failed to add clickable maps before.

I have heard both sides of this controversy from various marketers over the years, but primarily the answer most would give to that question is yes, it does make a difference. That for some reason, Google gives more “love” to a .com or even a .org domain than to a .info (or even .net) domain.

The people that have told me this say that it is obvious to see this is true because when you look at the search results you get when you enter a search phrase into the search engines, the page one sites are quite often going to be .com or .org.

Yes, this is generally true, however I have another idea that you must think about when choosing which extension you should buy.

There are many, many, many more .com and .org sites on the world wide web than there are .info. This fact on it’s own would explain why the search results usually have .com and .org domain names in their top listings. This does not mean that it is not a possibility that the search engines like .com or .org, I am just bringing up a point. That is that .com and .org domains should be on page one of the search results most of the time, there are 10’s, even 100’s of thousands more websites with a .com or .org domain extension.

I have mostly .com domains. I like those because when people enter domain names into their address bar they usually to type .com. So, by simply buying a .com you will make sure they arrive at your site. If the website you were looking for in a .com has a .info available and you purchase it, then as the person goes to enter it into their address bar, it is likely that unless they were really paying attention, they will be entering in .com. Therefore, rather than going to your website, they would go to someone else’s.

I do have a few .info extensions however and as far as a search engine optimization stand point I have found them to rank in the search engines equally as well as a .com website. So, for SEO purposes it doesn’t really seem to matter which extension you purchase. The search engine optimization side relies more on your keywords and links than to the extension you purchase.

Therefore, when purchasing your domain it comes down to what you prefer. Does it matter to you whetherthey accidentally type in .com instead of .info (or even .net)? How you answer this question will help you chose which domain extension you go with.
