    Hi to all
    I am in the throes of setting up a business specialising in marketing and events within the exhibition industry and beyond.
    Providing services including mobile roadshows, event management , graphic displays and point of sale material etc I aim to provide a tailored and personal service backed by years of experience in the industry.

    I will at some point soon set up a simple but effective website so any thoughts and budgetary figures would be helpful.

    This forum seems genuinely friendly so I'd thought I'd join. Hope I can network and get some advice and contacts along the way.

    Steve

    Welcome, Steve.

    I'd like to ask you a question. We booked a small space at a major exhibition last June. It was a major learning experience for us. We paid for a standard package (a lighted backwall, podium, stool, table and two chairs, and carpet). We had some graphics made to stick to the backwall using velcro. It worked fine, but it was all rather ordinary.

    On the final day, I arranged to meet a friend of mine who works in the same industry as you. She came up with some creative ideas. One was for us to purchase a white screen and to project images on it from behind (using a laptop and projector). To passers-by, it would look rather like a static image, but we could change the image whenever we wanted.

    Have you come across this before? Is it a good idea? Could you foresee any problems?

    OK
    Has anyone managed to set up their business on a shoestring budget and made it a success?
    I want to keep my start up costs as low as possible.
    Also are networking business 'breakfast clubs' worth going to?
    I also need some advice on printed material.
    How much can I expect to pay for say
    500 Letterheads on quality paper
    250 Business cards
    And the design and print of approx 500 mailshot flyers?
