What they're saying about our Green Box™ Solution
The ViridiSTOR Green Box™ Solution provides material benefit to everyone associated with the production and attendance of shows and conferences. See what attendees, exhibitors, show promoters, and those associated with shows have to say.
“The ViridiSTOR system holds great promise for eliminating tremendous amounts of trash right here in our own backyard. It’s calculated that if every attendee at the IBEX Show had gathered just 15 pounds of literature each – which is probably far less than most people took away – that would have amounted to more than 40 tons of paper, or the equivalent of almost 1,000 trees that could have been saved.”

“Everyone at the show seemed to love it and I personally think it is outstanding. I am a big believer in it. The impact of using it is great for the environment. It is great for show attendees. Carrying around exhibitor materials can get heavy and most of it gets tossed in the garbage anyway.”
“Beyond Go Green Expo, I think there is definitely potential to partner with my Luxury Review series of press events that cover all things luxury. It will be great for the press at these events to walk away with a USB drive with all of the elements they need to do their press follow up.”

“Everyone grimaces when you talk about ‘going green’ because it is so difficult to prove their solutions actually save money or reduce a company’s carbon footprint.”
“The ViridiSTOR Green Box system seems to achieve the target value propositions for saving money, for simplifying a complex business process and for significantly reducing the environmental impact of trade shows, conferences and corporate events." |

"This is quite simply a more useful and powerful solution for the problem of providing corporate and marketing information to thousands of users at events like these."
“Trade show and event managers get to offer a versatile and practical new service to their corporate users. Exhibitor companies get to eliminate their second largest event expense – the printing, shipping, inventory and handling of promotional literature for events. Management of convention centers and meeting facilities reduce their costs by eliminating the single biggest source of post-event waste – since trade shows are second only to the construction industry in the volume of waste produced. And event attendees no longer have to lug around hundreds of pounds of paper at an event – plus they get powerful USB-based device that lets them manage all event-related information during the event and can be used as a high capacity computer storage device when they’re done with it.”

“The Green Box provides an eco-friendly way for us as exhibitors to provide all of our promotional content. It will definitely help us to eliminate the need for a lot of paper.”
“With everyone today being so plugged into their computers it is a great way of getting the information to people in the way they are looking for it. And it is very cost effective. Whether video content or brochures, it eliminates the need to make multiple copies saving cost and the environment as well.”

“Assembling content was amazingly easy. Simple links to PDF files are really all that is needed to get information to your customer." |
"But if you want to go beyond the basics, there’s potential here to deliver so much more. And it doesn’t have to be static content, you can make it even more interesting for your customer than traditional paper content ever was. For example, we have a brand new line of power-actuated products, and for us to be able to show them actually in motion, working — as opposed to a still photo in a brochure — is really cool!”

“I ended up going to the U.S. Post Office in Louisville and mailing 21 pounds of literature back home since there was no way I could have included it all with my carry-on luggage. In addition, I still had material in my briefcase and I didn’t collect everything I would have liked to because of the hassle of transporting it all." |
 |
“I think it is very significant that the marine industry will be the first to sponsor a paperless trade show. This is certainly something to brag about and is consistent with the advanced technology going into contemporary marine products generally. This is one more example of our industry's effort to innovate and remain at the leading edge of technology. Show participants will appreciate ViridiSTOR's digital solution to the costly and cumbersome problem of disseminating product information at our trade shows.”

“We are impressed with the Green Box solution because it truly promises to significantly reduce or eliminate the distribution of paper materials at our boating industry shows and conferences, and to reduce the cost of exhibitor participation in the shows.”
“New approaches to reducing costs and protecting our environment are more important today than ever.”

“It can get costly and is a bummer sometimes handing out materials to attendees of a show when you know that it may go nowhere. With the Green Box, I don’t need to worry about running out of materials or whether or not someone is a qualified prospect.”
“Our product is largely video based. I want somebody to look at my video clips. So with the USB and the Presenter application, users can just click and start viewing. It is faster and easier than having to load a DVD. It is definitely more efficient and ultimately more economical for me.”

"The biggest thing for me is that it offers a lower cost per impression. It’s quick and it’s easy and will definitely cut down on the volume of paper that people take to a show and bring home from the show."
“We had already started going down this path and this system validates our actions. This year we shipped the lowest volume of hard copies ever to (the) IBEX (Show). I had already placed my literature order before I was even in contact with ViridiSTOR. We just feel it’s so much easier to get people specific pieces they need electronically, when they need them, and there’s no need to send anything and everything just to have it end up in a trash can."
| Sam Lamers Marketing Manager 3M Marine |

"One of the key advantages of the ViridiSTOR system is the ability to supplement existing print materials with information that can’t be printed, like video, animation and PowerPoint presentations."
 |
"The Green Box solution makes a huge difference at shows where we now have the ability, in a one-stop process, to provide people with valuable information in a variety of formats that are easier for them to read, view and use. Given the quantity and breadth of our product lines for the marine market, being able to show our customers relevant videos and promotional materials is ideal for demonstrating our products features and benefits." |

“Our products lend themselves to demonstrations. Being able to create videos for inclusion on the Green Box and having the ability to give customers the information that we were going to share anyways while educating them on how it works provides great value to us.”
“The ability to replicate content and provide it to others over a computer network is a great value. As opposed to an ad that may get passed along to one or two others, the ability to share electronic content means so many more impressions and chances for people to see our product.”
“It is going to completely revolutionize the industry. It means less trees having to be cut down. People tend to spend more time in front of their computers nowadays than even reading, so this is definitely the way to go.”

“Customers visiting our booth used to be given a binder containing seven different brochures for different product lines. Now, all they have to do is plug a memory stick into the Green Box and leave our booth with all of that information and more. |

“We have been considering many methods of providing our current and prospective clients with information relevant to our business. Until we learned of ViridiSTOR we were not convinced that we could effectively present them with information in a format that was easy to manage, but most importantly in a format that we could be sure they would retain. ViridiSTOR added another dimension that we had not considered by providing our information in a format that encourages them to share it well beyond their own use. I am thoroughly convinced that the ViridiSTOR device will be the one item that we can be sure the attendee will retain once they return from the show."

“The freight costs to carry multiple cases of our 400 page catalog to a trade show, combined with the cost of the publication itself, is very significant. The physical weight of the catalog discourages many prospective clients from carrying one home so they request them to be mailed to their offices after the show." |

"The Green Box system is a powerful concept. It enables exhibitors to deliver dynamic multimedia packages to attendees far better than static printed materials. You don't need to be a web designer to create content, either, since it's simple to use. I'm sure attendees will appreciate accessing a wealth of information right on the USB stick, instead of wading through ten pounds of papers after a show."
|
"Electronic technology dominates most business operations now, so why are industries still so paper- dependent at shows? The concept behind the Green Box system is good for everyone – exhibitors can share a wealth of information about their companies, products and services without burdening the attendee with loads of printed materials.” |

“I am sure that there are many more start-up companies that would have loved to have come[to the Go Green Expo], but they just didn’t have the money to spend $70,000 on brochures. And now, they don’t have to [because of the ViridiSTOR Green Box solution].”

“We are pleased to have been selected to work with ViridiSTOR in this environmentally-friendly endeavor. This will reduce the impact of paper-based delivery of information at conferences and trade shows, while helping reduce the cost of participation for exhibitors.”

"I am excited about the possibilities and the efficiencies of your (Green Box) system. The ‘green aspect’ aside, the savings in printing and paper costs will be significant, not to mention the reduction in waste. Some aspects of our product are very technical and do not lend themselves to a brief conversation at the booth, and most people have time constraints. The ability of a prospective customer to download information that would allow for project planning as well as product usage and system layout in an environment of their choosing, is great. Another plus is the ability to share that information with other members of their team with the click of a mouse. Hats off to ViridiSTOR this looks like a home run.”

“The ViridiSTOR approach will save exhibitors at our IBEX Shows a big percentage of their show costs by not having to print literature, and it will give them an even more impressive way to use tools such as videos to market their wares to boat builders." |
“In addition to having more creative ways to sell to attendees, this solution reduces the tonnage of refuse generated at shows and conferences and it makes life so much easier for attendees. They won’t have to lug around bags or binders filled with paper while at the show and they get such a versatile way to manage all the marketing materials and educational session handouts to make the best use of them.”
