Well, we all lived to see the Matrix come alive…

By Kevin Dankman

Welcome to 2020, where “virtual” everything is almost a necessity. With that in mind, CHAMPS Trade Shows has taken a massive leap into the future with a real live Virtual Trade Show. This June show will be Beta testing of new technology on a large scale. I took a long stroll around the CHAMPS Trade Show virtual space today… It was currently only one booth, but the host company has plenty to explore and interact within it. Testing this platform has been very entertaining and educational. We populated the booth with staff and proceeded to have a virtual meeting. It was easy and fun. The creativity was very cool to see. Many of them dressed their avatar to resemble them as close as possible. I spent way too much time looking it over to make a not so similar but close to me, me, but skinny me, I can’t figure out how to fatten myself up! Let me walk you through the experience. I was sent a link for an Alpha test. You will follow the link sent to you once registered online at www.champstradeshow.com. First was the easily navigated, “create account” info like every other site. Just fill in the info and get going. Now, like anything, there are some little things to remember.

Most people might need to update their computers to run the virtual experience correctly. This step may take a while, but it is essential to have the best experience possible. If you have any issues getting this setup, they will have people to help lead you in the proper direction. Once loaded and ready, it was time to customize my avatar. There were a lot of options and adjustments you could make to create your online self-image. As I said, I definitely had fun spending time on this step. Once I entered the space, it brought me to the CHAMPS Trade Show Booth. This location is where our meeting initially took place. We all gathered in a circle and discussed the questions and thoughts everyone had. Once we were familiar with options and ideas, we moved to the exhibitorâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s scene. Some huge name brands are in here with awesome well-designed booths, including lots of multimedia and customized booths just like a real show. Continues On Page 20

Walking around and exploring was fun. Each scene takes a little to load and get ready, but once the scene is loaded, it is smooth and seamless. This Virtual CHAMPS Trade Show is going to be interesting. It is pretty cool on my laptop and phone. I tried both so I could get a feel of what the average person might experience. Use earphones or earbuds as it makes the talking part a lot more effortless. Be Patient and let it load is the biggest advice I can offer. It is as easy as playing a video game. Although it was clear that this first show has limits, the potential is endless for a virtual world full of our vendors and buyers. On July 7-9 from 10 am-5 pm, it will be open for business. Register as soon as possible and get your computer ready a week in advance. Taking a test walk around and getting to know how it works is important and will make the experience more fluid. There are plenty of search tools for you to find the brands you are looking for quickly and easily. Now Step into the Matrix with the CHAMPS Staff and all your favorite brands.

Using Creativity In Your Business By Sean Dietrich

When I was around 16-17 years old, I used to be a manager at a record store in the Northern Virginia area. Next door was a 99 cent theater (the kind that would get the hit movies months after the initial release), where several of my buddies, including the theaterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s manager, would get together to draw comics late into the night. We were all aspiring artists trying to master the latest style of superhero art to score a job with Image, Marvel, or DC comics. I observed Continues On Page 53

Fast forward 25 years, and we face a pandemic that is altering everything about what makes us humans and how we live our lives and conduct our business. If being a worker who’s lost his job is Godzilla attacking, then being self-employed and trying to save your business is like King Kong, Mothra, Freddy Kruger, all of your exes, that one creepy uncle, the IRS, all the gangs from the ‘Warriors,’ and that rabbit from Monty Python joining in the fight. It’s been exhausting for small businesses to get the help they need, and so we turn to the lonely person in the mirror and say ‘WTF!’

in my business is, after taking a deep breath and allowing myself to think clearly, to open the floodgates to creativity. Creativity means taking everything you’ve worked for and learned about what you are doing and brushing it off the desk. If you’re starting in a place that depends on ‘what’s worked in the past,’ then there’s no way to carve out any sense of originality in the future. Continues On Page 60

So what the fuck IS next? Being an artist, I know a thing or two about the sheer terror, at times, of looking at a blank canvas and wondering if this is the piece that will please 7.5 billion people, or will it be a dud. Now, in my three decades as an artist, I know that the key to me evolving and staying relevant

When I start a painting, I first make a list of how EVERYONE else would paint it. What colors they would use, how they would position the subjects, what composition would be eye-catching, etc., and then push that aside. Then I will come up with ideas that I think are much better or more innovative than those ideas that I just pushed aside, and then I push those aside. After that, I’m in the headspace that I do my best work—a place that is unfamiliar and sometimes uncomfortable. A place where I know that any ideas that come out of this place have an original thought, a perspective that maybe doesn’t come naturally for the subject matter or something so wholly insane it just works. When you start to bring in options for promoting your business from areas of thought that you don’t frequently entertain, then you’ll begin to realize that your creative side has more in common with many more Continues On Page 63

aspects of life than just the next hot thing, or what’s selling now. When you start to consider your shop or your online business or your product line as its own entity, you look at it differently. It’s the difference between the smoke shops out there that are an institution and ones that are just four walls and a stop for papers on your way home from class or work. You can do this—WE can do this as an industry. The world has been through worse, and we’ve survived. Take a look at your business and think about what makes it unique, about where it’s located, about what gives it grit and charm, and then go crazy with creative content online, and ways to connect with your clientele. And don’t be afraid to be weird—I just watched my wife shoot a commercial, dressed as a male used car salesman, jumping around our driveway and throwing dab mats around to promote my art and our business. Yes, it gets bizarre when the creatives are let loose! Stay safe, everyone, and I hope to see you at the next CHAMPS!!

Operating in an infectious disease atmosphere In the current foreseeable future, we in the retail industry must look at what we can do to serve our customers responsibly. CHAMPS Trade Shows has always stuck behind the local brick and mortar smoke and vape shops. Social distancing and extensive cleaning is the only way to defend you and your staff from contracting and spreading the current virus. In this article, we will cover a few simple ways to improve your store and create an atmosphere of safety for your retail customers. Most importantly, if you or your staff are currently showing symptoms, do not go into your store if possible. If you have to... be responsible and sanitize anything you touch even if you are the only one that uses it. First thing you need to do, is reassure your client at the door. Create signage that states you are a clean retail establishment. These should be written clearly so that the customer understands you are doing it all for their welfare. Signs should explain that they should keep their hands in their pockets and if they need to see something to ask an employee to show or demonstrate it for 66

them. It should also explain that you provide disinfectant upon entry and exit of the store. You can also place a sanitizing station outside the front door for the customers to use before they even touch your door. You can also set up social distancing zones. So people can safely stay away from each other.

Second, you should create a cleaning and sanitizing schedule for your employees to follow. It should include daily deep clean, hourly light cleaning, and instant sanitizing of any surface that comes in close contact with a customer. This schedule should also include any POP displays and packaging that customers might have touched (you may think about moving them to a shelf behind you, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to clean it every time you have a customer.) Continues On Page 70

CHAMPS SHOW MAGAZINE

Third, employees should wash and sanitize their hands every time they open the register. Hand washing should be done instantly without touching their faces. Wearing gloves can help prevent the spread as well as dissuade you from touching your face, so make them available to your staff. Fourth, have you thought of delivering? Many shops have regular customers that will be avoiding public places, and this may be an option for you to expand your business. (check your local laws) Fifth, do not let things go out of stock. In a time like this, history has shown that our industry is less susceptible to a recession, and people will always need wraps, papers, pipes, and many of the other daily sale items you sell for their health and wellness. With so many people staying home, you may also see a spike in adult toy sales cause you know what happens when you make people stay at home together! Continues On Page 76 Photo by Erik Mclean on Unsplash

CHAMPS SHOW MAGAZINE

Sixth, if you have to let employees go due to economic conditions, allow them to get unemployment, you already paid into it, so let them use it in this time of need. We are all going to feel some pressure during this crisis, so have heart and respect for everyone. Even if you follow all these simple things, nothing is 100%, but be diligent and do your best to prevent the spread of viruses like the current pandemic. CHAMPS Show Magazine and CHAMPS Trade Show want all of our stores and vendors to stay safe and do good business.

Be sure to attend our Virtual Events in June!
