Remember the good ol’ days? The days when your needs and requirements were paramount and became the blueprint for how your vendors structured their services. The days when you always had the same person available to talk with and discuss an upcoming event? The days when, how do you want to do business was one of the first questions? The days when you could actually afford to have on call expertise and a selection of services designed to meet your needs and not the corporate policies of your provider? Remember when your success on the show floor was all that mattered? Ever wonder what happened?
We sure do and that is exactly why too Trick Pony Productions was established.
What you need, when you need it, at a price that is affordable!

The industry has changed allot in the past 20 years. The gargantuan shows are being passed over for the more targeted niche events. Exhibits have evolved into smaller more flexible designs that allow for varied smaller configurations and the occasional larger configuration. The supply side has changed too. The boutique exhibit houses have vanished, a victim of high overhead resulting from a primary focus on construction rather than service. Gone are the days of personal attention with the same team, a team that knows your property, understands your objectives and the requirements for meeting them. Ever increasing costs, an unfriendly business structure and an invoice for every little item without the personal attention…sound familiar?

Service before Sales
A personal philosophy developed over a business career spanning more than 30 years. A philosophy that acknowledges that your most important time is when you are on the show floor. Shows can be stressful. Away from the office, time deadlines, budgets to meet, all in what seems like barely controlled chaos. When, not if, Murphy points his finger at you…being able to reach out for an answer to a question, a solution to a problem on Monday or Sunday, in the early morning or late at night. This kind of service is difficult to put a price on, some say its priceless. Labor that is fully prepared with the drawings needed for the set and arrives with the tools needed for the job, and completes an inspection of the property at dismantle. Need that emergency replacement graphic or any of the myriad of things that always seem to pop up on the show floor? One phone call takes care of it. That is what service is about. If good service is provided at a reasonable cost, successfully and without fail, then an opportunity to be considered for new components has been earned.

Logistics: from transportation to transient storage
Creating component pick lists, pulling graphics, the management of inventory as it works it ways through your show schedule should be part of your providers service program. Transient storage in route to events to save shipping costs of going back and forth from a single storage facility. Tracking numbers for small shipments, and a driver’s name and cell number for the big ones.
Supervision:
When you cannot be there, or in the case of larger shows or problematic venues such as hotel events, live supervision of the set up thru show opening, and dismantle, and stand by on show days is available. On smaller shows, remote management of the set is most effective. Need staff shirts pressed, or a giveaway for a special drawing? Photocopies of lead sheets or pick up of a last minute FedEx? Your supervisor takes care of it all. Experience in working with all major North American venues provides a cost effective alternative to time away from your office. Travel at cost and a per day fee reminiscent of the ol’days! Would this make sense for you?

Labor:
One of the most important aspects of an on budget show is quality labor. Long term relationships with several custom labor groups, ensure that the most efficient and cost effective set up and dismantle will take place. A labor team whose day in and day out job is working with both semi custom and custom exhibits yields faster sets with less damage and dismantles that pack up the exhibit correctly and ready for the next show.
Audio Visual and Lighting:
Need it, rent it, once or for the season. From the common monitor to a specialty light or a one of a kind theatrical presentation, your requirements will be met with reliable product and technical support.
