I received a call from a good client and friend earlier this week with great news.  The product he developed was picked up by an international distribution firm and will be marketed as a promotional item for golfers around the world.  The product he invented and marketed through trade shows, The Aqua Caddy (www.theaquacaddy.com) ,started as a rough prototype and developed into a workable product ready for its debut at the PGA Merchandise Expo.

We started working with The Aqua Caddy on a rental basis.  With a limited budget and experience at trade shows, the inventor and President of The Aqua Caddy, John Yakopcic, came to Xhibit Solutions to design and produce the graphics, structure and demo stations for his product launch at the PGA shows in Orlando and Las Vegas.  

After receiving great PR and feedback on his product, John decided trade shows were going to be his main focus for developing product awareness.  We were able to reuse his graphics from the rental system for his own exhibit purchase for future PGA shows as well at the Promotional Products Industry Association (PPIA) Expo.  The dye sublimated fabric graphic was added to a new exhibit system which we continue to support through asset management, logistics, and on-site installation and dismantle services when needed.  Additional signs, banner stands and even a vehicle wrap are planned to continue to build his brand.

Look for The Aqua Caddy as it's featured on the February 28th NBC broadcast of the PGA World Golf Championships Accenture Match Play as Tiger Woods returns to the tour.  Having Accenture as one of our clients as well, I guess that weekend will be a win - win for Xhibit Solutions!

Hey Johnny, as they say on the tour - You're the man!
