SALES & MARKETING
ORRIE CAPONE
What a difference a year makes, from coming out of COVID, to shaky start in 2022, to having a great strong ending to 2021, and an awesome start and future for 2023. That sums up our industry, SPOON and the growth and development of Sales. SPOON welcomed many clients over the past few months, EllKay, Hypervsn, nTopology, ePac to name a few. We continue to be maintain and grow business with the steady, loyal commitments from our existing customer, most of who are back to full-time exhibiting in 2023. We welcome Terry Marsh, supporting our business development and growth. Multiple new opportunities are on the horizon from the Sales group. On the Marketing front, we will be participating at ExhibitorLive 2023 in Louisville, Kentucky April 24-26, in a direct commitment to grow our business, and display SPOON as the “best in class” in the Events and Tradeshow Industry. Go SPOON!
ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT
JASON SHANLEY
A lot of our clients are working with a lot of new faces – both on our side as well as their internal teams. Account management continues to do our best to educate clients on the industry and the rising costs we’re seeing, and we’re often wearing our consultative hats to make recommendations that benefit our clients and their programs.
SPOON EXPRESS
JASON SHANLEY
In 2022, SPOONExpress exploded into a much larger program than it’s ever been. We executed 926 SPOONExpress orders last year, more than 4x what we executed in 2021. With Q1 2023 coming to a close, we’re already surpassing where we were last year at this time, which is a sign that SPOONExpress will continue to be an important value-add for our clients.
OPERATIONS
DARRAN ACHTER
Operations is full speed ahead with two new builds, one at each location. ePac in LV and ELLKAY in NY. We are also very busy in the warehouse prepping out 20 Plus projects this spring. It’s a good time to be in the exhibit industry. Work hard and stay safe fellas. Thanks for making SPOON Best in class.
