This past week, and for the first time, Best Graphics exhibited at Graphics Canada. The show was held at the International Centre in Toronto, Ontario. The show attracted visitors from near and far – Vancouver, Calgary, Ottawa, Montreal, and everywhere in between.

I, alongside Dan Brahm, President of Best Graphics, and Joe Marrinan, founder of Chameleon Folder/Gluers, fielded questions from inquiring customers for three days – October 21st, 22nd and 23rd. Below is a photo of our booth, complete with Banners, Tables, Literature, and a Computer Monitor, which had a looping Power Point slide show that highlighted the various lines of equipment we proudly represent:

Unlike Graph Expo in the States, Graphics Canada is held every other year. It was also interesting to note that the show coincides with Canada’s Packaging Expo, which took place across town, throughout the week. These two differences are significant contributors to the success of the show. Namely, running the two shows simultaneously makes visitors time “away from their desks” more impactful. Likewise, operating the show every other year adds additional intrigue.

Speaking of intrigue, there were many innovative products on display. A Wide Format exhibitor decorated their entire booth with the Toronto skyline – from floor to walls!

We were pleased with the turn out at Graphics Canada. It was great to see the faces of existing customer we service and support in Canada. We also generated new opportunities. And when we weren’t with clients, we took time to walk the booths and say, “hello” to vendor partners and exhibitors alike. For those who attended, thank you for making the show a success. For those who couldn’t “step away from the office,” don’t hesitate to give us a call: (800) 236-7603 x101.

In a way, Graphics Canada 2013 was ceremonious. The event marked the debut of Best Graphics Group as an exhibitor, and the 50th year of the show’s existence.

. . . Undoubtedly, we’re already looking forward to the next!

Until then,

A.J. Brahm, Self-Appointed Chief Social Media Officer
