Welcome to DoTradeshow Displays!
What happened to DoTradeshow Displays?
It has been a long road for DoTradeshow Displays since the outbreak of Covid-19 back in 2020. With the shutdown of businesses nationwide, our doors also had to close. We had to let go and say goodbye to all our employees, leaving only the two owners behind to continue running the business. This, unfortunately, meant that our beloved showroom had to be closed down, and our location and staple off "highway 13" in Burnsville, MN had to be shut down as well. Not only did we have to downsize our business, but we also had to cease production of our signature tradeshow displays, banners, popups, and graphic prints. It was a tough decision, but it had to be done to keep our business going during these difficult times.
We continued to work behind the scenes to keep us afloat. We went from having 15,000 square feet down to only 3,000 square feet to work in; that's a massive cut! In the small space, we were left in. We had to make do with what we had. We had to not only produce in that small space, but also work customer service as well. Katie would tell you that it was not enjoyable working next to an air compressor. It sucked! We also had our large inventory stored in there and had to consolidate many products to make room for what was needed. There was so much uncertainty, that we were wondering if we were going to make it.
We slowly started to come back alive but felt like we were still in a coma. In 2021 we could only produce small displays and could not make any large products like we were accustomed to before covid. That hurt. But we knew it would be okay, so we kept moving forward. In July of 2021, we finally got our big machines back up and running, which was a massive step for us! We were excited but knew we had a long way to go. The rest of 2021 and 2022 were a lot of repairs, fixes, and answering those who were coming to us.
There was so much going on and so many things that needed to be taken care of that we did not have the hands or the people to help reach out and stay in touch with all our customers. Our primary focus was to ensure people who were reaching out to us and needing a display were taken care of. That meant part of 2021 and all of 2022 were focused on who was reaching out to us.
So, yes 2021 and 2022, we were silent in the aspect of reaching out and updating our customers on what was going on. We had a lot of emails and calls asking us if we were still around. Knowing that customers thought we had gone out of business was a sucky feeling, but that was not the case. We could not reach out to them to let them know of all the updates and news happening within DoTradeshow because we did not have the staff and team members to do so. We were trying to stay afloat.
The current state of DoTradeshow
It has been two years since we have been able to update our customers on what happened to DoTradeshow. We wanted to inform everyone about what has been happening to us.
