Stand Out and Make Your Messages and Your Exhibit Memorable
Long After the Tradeshow is Over 

B&M is scheduled to be among the very first to own and operate an incredible animatronic tradeshow puppet that is demonstrated in the video below.  I urge you to click on this link and watch the video.  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6xuSUg9Jmic  

This puppet has never been seen at a tradeshow before Dale has almost 30 years of experience working as a tradeshow ventriloquist effectively using traditional ventriloquist characters. Now he offers B&M clients a truly unique and valuable trade show option.    

As you can see from the video, this remote controlled character can sit independently anywhere in your trade exhibit or demonstration area. He moves and looks like he is alive. Show attendees can’t help but be attracted to and listen to this new, revolutionary animatronic traffic builder and sales tool. This amazing ventriloquist puppet will quickly become the most talked about and most effective traffic builder at your tradeshow.

Through Dale’s skill the puppet can:

  1. Appear to read name tags, engage show attendees in conversation and attract large curious crowds to your exhibit
  2. Conduct entertaining and attention getting discussions with show attendees that pre-qualify booth visitors for your sales staff
  3. Take an active part in demonstrations, or just watch
  4. Talk about or ask questions about your products and services  
  5. Interact with a spokesperson or a sales person to highlight the benefits of your products and services  
  6. React to and talk with contestants during booth games  

Dale can stand next to the puppet and carry on a dialog about your product or service. Or Dale can inconspicuously be located anywhere in your booth or in the aisle near your both. This allows the puppet to interact with others without apparent assistance. He can talk and react to booth visitors, passersby and booth staff.

Flexibility, uniqueness and magnetism …

This tradeshow traffic builder has it all!

Note: B&M is currently only making this puppet available to existing clients, to make sure that we can meet their trade show needs first.  After July 1, 2008, B&M will accept bookings for other companies on a first come, first serve basis. The puppet will be available for tradeshow work in September, 2008. 

If you would like more information or would like to book tentative tradeshow dates, contact Dale before April 30, 2008. Don't be disappointed.

A New Kind of Corporate "Dummy"

Dale and Chip entertain the crowds at a tradeshow with Brady Corp.

Chip Martin is one of a stable of characters that B&M uses to enhance corporate communication programs and special events. The firm has developed special "mascot" characters for Kohler Engines, Society Insurance, A.O. Smith, Harnischfeger, Radio Shack, Arvin and many other corporate leaders. (Click here for a partial list of B&M "puppet clients.")

Sales meetings, distributor events and employee presentations which include our characters often rely on original scripts that incorporate question and answer sessions between the puppet and the president of a company or other corporate executive. In this type of program, the "dummy" is able to ask questions and broach subjects that those in the audience would love to have the opportunity or nerve to talk about. Management can use this approach to introduce new programs, sales or quality objectives, policy changes, marketing campaigns and more. The programs are highly memorable, informative and entertaining.

A wide variety of companies such as Banc One, McDonalds, Kohler Co., Radio Shack, A.O. Smith, West Bend Insurance and many, many more have asked us back for return engagements to participate in numerous employee and customer programs.
