More than 2,500 companies representing 46 countries, including 200 new exhibitors from countries such as Bahrain, Hungary, Israel, Lithuania, New Zealand and Twain, showed off their wares.

“OTC 2012 was the most successful event we have had since the early ’80s,” Steven Balint, OTC chairman, said in a statement. “In terms of strength of the technical sessions and technology on display, OTC reached a record-breaking number of people and offered the most ways to connect, educate and conduct business. The industry is on the rise, and challenges are ahead, making it more important than ever to collaborate and share best practices with colleagues all over the world. OTC is the place to do that.”

Trade Shows allow companies the opportunity to collaborate, grow, and conduct business in unique ways.  Our graphic designers and production team is ready to create the most amazing displays for your booth on your next trade show.  Are trade shows a good investment for your company?  Ask the 2500+ exhibitors at OTC and their answer is “Yes it is!”

This year, 1to1printers is proud to be producing Trade Show Booths, Exhibit Displays, and Marketing Collateral for companies visiting OTC from Scotland, Singapore, Canada, and of course from right here in Houston.

Engineers, technicians, oil & gas executives, operators, scientists, and professionals in all fields of the Energy Industry meet at Reliant Center to discuss ideas, trends, and solutions.

The conference starts formally on Monday, April 30th, although there are many “Welcome to OTC” events going on this weekend.  We hope to see you at one of these events or at the Trade Show to make this year’s OTC event the best ever!

However, sometimes, our clients simply cannot justify the investment on a new display.  May be their company does not expect to exhibit at any other trade show or the event lacks full support from their managers.

Here is where we come to “Save the Day”:  Look like a billion dollar company during your presentation, impress your clients and your managers, and spend a third of what you normally do when purchasing a full booth.

Great back drop for any 10×10 booth

Forward looking companies like Susser Petroleum understand the importance their communications materials have in their growth strategies.

We are proud suppliers to excellent companies like Susser Petroleum.

Thank you!

A good photo printed on canvas, gallery wrapped, and framed makes a statement that your organization is solid, innovative, and strong.

What better way to dec the walls!

When your organization shows innovation and professionalism, our MP1 Trade Show Display is the best companion to your Exhibit Booth:

Excellent Durability & Vibrant Presentation

Aluminum, cross braced structure allows for perfect alignment.  The graphics practically align themselves by firmly attaching to the magnet system.  The show kit comes with halogen lights and a carrying case.  Comes with a TEN-YEAR warranty and the best customer service in the industry.

Our high-end, polyester graphics bring your marketing message out to life.  Our vibrant colors and excellent craftmanship allow your brand and your organization to come across “Loud and Clear”, your company is perceived as Professional and Innovative.

Lower Expenses

The carrying case dupes as a table during the show, which allows you to assemble, disassemble, and pack without the need of union labor from the convention center (which comes at a hefty price!)  The MP1 is so easy to pop open, that only one person is needed to install and take down the booth.  You can carry the case in your car, avoiding the headaches of shipping with a common carrier.

Flexibility

Our Cabrio retractable display is a perfect companion to the MP1.  It allows for easy interchange of graphics (without damaging the graphic or the unit every time you change messages).  It also comes with a 10 year warranty, and it can be used by the sales force during small meetings or at large trade shows.  It comes with a canvas carrying case and optional halogen lights are available.

Call us or contact us at sales@1to1printers.com if you have any questions.  We distribute a wide range of exhibit and trade show displays to match all budgets and purposes.  Our talented design team is also available to create your graphics.  You are welcome to come and visit our facilities in Houston; we’ll be happy to give you the 2-cent tour and listen to your trade show needs.

Although the economy is on the path to recovery, marketing budgets are still under pressure.  However, your brand and your image must be kept untarnished.  That’s why we offer a wide line of economy displays and affordable media to produce amazing exhibit displays and wall-drops.

Check out these cool, super light, and affordable trade show displays:  They allow you to complement any convention or meeting by offering  flexibility on the size of your exhibit’s foot print.

Now it is time to take a break from work.  Some of us celebrate Christmas, a time of reconciliation and love with friends and family, some others celebrate other things… the truth is that it is the time of the year when it is most fitting to give thanks for all we received this year and to pray next year will come full of blessings and good wishes.

In preparation for 2012 and to celebrate Christmas with our families, our Houston office and warehouse will be closed  December 26th – December 30th.  We will reopen for regular business on Monday January 2, 2012.

If you have an emergency, please contact us at (281) 788-5043.  We will get back to you as soon as possible.

In any event, have a wonderful Christmas & a happy New year.  If you do not celebrate Christmas, please accept our best wishes for a magical season.

See you in January!

I was listening with disgust to “your” elected representatives (I did not vote for them) in the news.  These politicians were saying out load that “they” create jobs…  How wrong they have it!

It is business owners working our butts off (under huge stress) that create, maintain and promote jobs; it is small businesses and corporations alike who really create jobs, innovate the market place and rise the standard of living for everyone else.

Politicians are the ones who deflate creativity by smothering entrepreneurs in regulations; politicians do not create jobs (at least not jobs that create value!)

At 1to1printers, we are proud entrepreneurs who produce value-added products and services for our customers.  We do this by serving our customers with unparalleled service from our fantastic team of employees, outstanding quality, and innovative products.  In turn, our customers understand the value-added we give to them, they choose to purchase locally from us, and they in turn generate more job opportunities in our business and in our community.

The US should take a hard look at their neighbors in the South, where ever growing bureaucracies and suffocating government regulations have expelled their entrepreneurs out of their (our) countries.  Look all around you:  Houston is the hub for immigrant entrepreneurs who bring their investments here while getting away from tyrannic, corrupt, or innept governments.

Be afraid, very afraid of a politician that has never paid payroll and yet boasts he/she creates jobs!
