This week we exhibited at the Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce’s annual Business Expo, which returned to the previous venue within the grounds of Ryde School.
Our theme this year was based around “IT superheroes”. Several of our customers often call us this, so we thought we’d don our capes and go with it for a day!
We had a great prize to give away – a top of the range noise-cancelling headset for better video calls. To enter, you had to share your secret identity with us, and if you weren’t feeling ready to share your real superhero name, we would spin the wheel to generate you a tech-related one!
Heroes included “Captain Firewall”, “Flash Drive” and “Surge Protector”, whilst a few villains snuck in too – “Bandwidth Bandit”, “Messy Desktop” and “Ransomware Ranger”!
We enjoyed talking to visitors about IT annoyances within their business, and for those who “DIY it” at the moment, asked if perhaps they might like to outsource that to a team of IT superheroes?
We produced and gave away a guide on this topic, you can grab a digital copy here – https://www.wightcomputers.co.uk/diy/
As usual, we had some fantastic biscuits to give away – this year they were shaped like masks and available in 4 bright colours!
The lucky winner of our prize draw at the end of the day was the Antivirus Vixen (aka Alison 🤫). She was loving her new identity so much, she wanted to get into a cape for the photo!
A huge thank you from us to everyone who came to visit our stand, and the following local businesses who helped us make our Expo stand great!
- Prime Design Solutions – for our awesomely designed backdrop!
- All Things Printed – for all our printed materials and banner.
- The Cakesmith – for the fantastic branded biscuits.
- The Isle of Wight Chamber of Commerce team – for putting on a great event.
See you at the next one! Your secret identities are safe with us 🤫🦸
