You’ve seen us on Sunday Night Football on the Fox Sports Network, now you can catch us in the end zone, Thursday nights on the exclusive NFL Network. Our radiant blue set design made its anticipated appearance on last night’s nail biting game between the Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons.  We were in on the action as commentators hustled to give a detailed play by play. 

NFL spotted the vivid yellow sets designs that we produced for Fox Sports and were pumped to get a set design of their very own.  The Nomadic Solutions Studio geared up to create a unique custom set that offers unrivaled graphic impact, easy set up and shipping.

The NFL set joins other broadcast television custom sets by Nomadic Display including: Fox Sports, American Idol, America's Got Talent, Britain's Got Talent, and X Factor; Check out how these creative organizations are putting their Nomadic environments to work on pages 14 & 15.

If you missed seeing us this Thursday you can catch us next Thursday on the NFL Network. See you there!

3 SpOOktacular Event Giveaways That You'll Want to Include in Next Year's Budget

 

                    SpOOktacular Event Giveaways
Halloween is right around the corner and I got to thinking about how much Halloween trick or treating resembles trade show attendance. Trick or treaters (your audience) scour the neighborhood (the show floor) looking for tricks (products and services) and receiving treats (event giveaways). Some houses (booths) are more popular than others in the neighborhood because they deliver the goods.  So if you want to be among the popular exhibitors, here are the premium giveaways that will have trades show attendees SCREAMING for more.

Drink and be Merry
Ceramic Mug:

For them
Ceramic mugs are a favorite among B2B audiences. Whether you are an avid coffee drinker or prefer the sophisticated undertones of tea, a mug is the perfect platform to get your necessary caffeine fix.  
For You 
Ceramic mugs are a great promotional vehicle for your company.  They are useful, coveted and commented on before/during/after meetings by professional’s companywide. Mugs provide a daily reminder of your brand and heighten your campaign visibility.  For a ceramic mug to be truly portable and widely used make sure the handle is large enough to accommodate at least three fingers of a man's hand.

Get Carried Away
Tote Bag: 

For them
Promotional totes continue to be a hit for trade show attendees because for their usefulness in storing: reading material, lunch, groceries, gym clothes,diapers...etc.
For You
A tote bag offers you more visual real estate to communicate your brand (through your logo and imagery relevant to your target audience).  Available in hundreds of styles and colors, they are lightweight to ship and are compact enough to store in your booth since most fold flat.  Unless you are targetting a particular gender, select a design that appeals to both men and women. Consider cloth totes made from recycled fibers to promote your organization as one that is environmentally responsible and prides itself on employing sustainable strategies.

Go for a Drive
USB Drive:

For them
USB drives save users time and computer space by allowing them to store critical documents in a portable unit, whether they use the hotel business center or their company lap top.
For You
While pricier than the previous two items, usb drives are highly valued and promote business productivity.  USB drives are like business cards, you can never have too many of them.  They can carry your company logo, website url and/or telephone number.  In addition you can provide your company's collateral in pdf form on the drive for attendees to download after the show - Voila you've just eliminated the need to send post show fulfillment!

Stay tuned next Tuesday for how to drill down your social media platforms

Are you ready for some football? Nomadic will appear Sunday on 6 NFL games on Fox.

After a long (getting longer every year) wait, at last, football is back. And to start this season off Nomadic is going to make an appearance at 6 games in 6 cities on Fox this Sunday.

That’s right!

As you are watching the broadcasters in the booth giving you a play-by-play, take a look at the backdrop behind them. We may not be making or announcing the plays but we are in the booth anxiously awaiting the outcome for each game.

Fox chose our Nomadic DesignLine to use as a backdrop behind the broadcasters for their nationwide games, for its graphic impact, easy setup and shipping.

We will be at New Meadowlands Stadium -  New York, Soldier Field - Chicago, Heinz Field - Pittsburgh, Lincoln Financial Field - Philadelphia, Quest Field - Seattle, and Edward Jones Dome - St. Louis.

Catch you in the endzone!

Hey Batter, Batter! Nomadic lost to Apple Rock 6-9. But had the best time doing it!

WE LOST 6-9! But had a blast doing it.

Saturday was a beautiful day for both traveling and the game. The weather for once actually cooperated with us. We arrived at Triad Park which was gorgeous and just huge. We put on our team shirts, practiced for about 10 minutes and started the game.

APPLE ROCK TEAM

NOMADIC DISPLAY TEAM

We agreed to play seven innings but did not realize that it would go so FAST. We played the entire game in only 1 1/2 hrs. Nomadic definitely needed the other 2 innings - we didn't even score until the 5th. Does that say more about us or Apple Rock? We just needed to settle down and find our stride, and we did score five runs in that 5th inning. But to give Apple Rock credit, they were a well-tuned team.

There was so much laughter, silly antics and good sportsmanship. We can't wait for the next game for a chance to win back our trophy.

Congratulations Apple Rock on your well deserved win! We'll beat you next time.

Hey Batter, Batter! Nomadic plans to trounce Apple Rock in our Softball re-match.

The game is set. The players are ready.

The Nomadicheads are headed to North Carolina to play the Apple Rock Displayers in our 2nd Softball Game.

So now the trophy's fate is in the hands of the select few who stood up and said "What are you crazy? You want me to travel for 10 Hours for a 2 Hour game?

Okay, bring it on!"

The positions were selected. Practice was held. We had wild throws, missed catches, flung bats and realized we had gotten old. The fate of the trophy was not looking that great.

But then it happened, the spark of competition, the need to win and we had to shift positions again. The team started playing like they been for years, with a likeness to Willie Mays it ended our fears.

With new bruises, sore backs and muscles that hadn't been used in years. Our team sets out tomorrow, with the hopes of a company to bring the trophy back home where it belongs.

Good luck to our players...Pat, Lynn, Dave, Hendrik, Abel, Darrin, Dan, Nathan, Lakia, Archie and Kat.
 

Ode to Marie

Apple Rock had called. They were up for a game. Nomadic, it seemed, Was destined for fame. The “Skirmish” was set. Marie had a date. With destiny, the future, Her tempting of fate. The first practice was held On a bright, sunny day. Marie was ready and She was anxious to play. Marie stepped to the plate And with an energy burst Swung hard at the ball And wound up standing on first. Marie ran on to second When someone flew out. The fact she could run Was never in doubt. It all happened so quickly Some might not have seen How fast Marie ran. Like a lightning machine. When the next ball was hit Marie flew on her feet. She thought that she’d make third Without a missing a beat. She should have been safe. And safe by a mile! But there in her path Stood Jack with a smile.

Marie’s instincts took over As she began to drop down. She made the decision To visit “dirt town”. But suddenly the horror Of what Marie had just done Was evident to all Who stood there, just stunned. Marie desperately tried To slide under the tag. She hit rocks. She hit pebbles. She didn’t hit the bag. She was out by a mile. Marie’s slide was in vain. And her leg was in tatters And in terrible pain. Her slide had good form. It was just a bad field. Her once beautiful leg Now appeared to be peeled. It’s taken quite some time For her pain to subside. She lost a chunk of her skin, But not one ounce of pride. Marie proudly will show you This scar that will heal. Just don’t ask to see it Before a big meal. Marie’s a true team player- A tribute to the game. And for this, Marie’s been inducted To Nomadic’s Hall of Fame.
