Success in Germany at SMM 2010 for LWS Client Kittiwake

On September the 3rd we showed you a sneak peak of the stand that LWS designed for Kittiwake Developments to use at the international Marine Exhibition in Hamburg.  The stand was completed on time and was very well recieved by all at the show last week in Hamburg.SMM 2010 Show - Kittiwake

Kittiwake is a leading company in technical solutions for the marine world and build their stand in the same hall as many of the worlds largest organistions including ExxonMobil, Wartsila and MAN B&W.  Its imperative that the stand and design allow Sussex based Kittiwake to stand proud alongside these firms, the LWS designed, stand, literature and brand allowed them to do just that.
SMM is the largest shipping exhibition in the world and includes over 2000 exhibitors from 58 countries. Over 50,000 visitors attended during the 4 days of the show.  It was a great show and a massive success for Kittiwake since who gained some great prospects and new customers.

Kittiwake GmbH Managing Director Matthias Winkler had this to say at the end of the event “I like to use this chance to say THANK YOU to all involved during, before and after the show. A lot of effort is needed to make what we did and only a good team can do this.  Now we start planning for 2012″

Grabbing that .co domain – To buy or not to buy

by: admin

Tags: ,,

Due to the recent launch of the new .co domain, many of our clients have contacted us for our opinion on whether or not it is necessary to purchase a .co domain for their website.
Originally when we were first being asked .co was a domain of Columbia and it seemed that there was no real reason to buy the domain just because you may have had an email from a registrar telling you to do so.

Currently a .co domain offers no major advantage over a co.uk or .com. These domains are so dominant within popular search engines such as Google that we must ask the question whether a .co is ever going to beat a .co.uk to the top of a UK web search?? Probably not.

But, .co. is now an internationally recognised TLD, top level domain. And while it may not be as well recognised as .com .net .org it may well be one day. So, protecting your web domain [Your Name Here].co if you own a business may well be prudent. The big boys have certainly done it.

Many suggest that .co has the potential to become a major TLD. Considering what the ‘co’ could stand for – Company, Corporation, Commerce to name a few.

You could secure the domain and then redirect it to your site. That’s cost effective and simple to do. Ask yourself if someone else would feel the need to secure the .co of your address, and if so you should grab it before they do. The worst thing you want is someone getting the .co version of your .com or .co.uk domain name and mopping up all the visitors who do not complete the address in the browser.

If you have decided to go for it and purchase the .co namesake of your current site just give us a call on 01903 790 100 and we’ll secure it and redirect it to your site.

Whatever you do, do not overpay for your .co, or get caught by a convincing email suggesting that you secure all sorts of domain names including .sg .biz etc etc….

Your thoughts, as always are appreciated….

Next week in Hamburg see’s the Bi-Annual SMM event for the international Marine Industry.   Long standing LWS client, Kittiwake Developments Ltd (World Leaders in Marine Oil and Fuel Testing Solutions) will be showing off their innovative solutions for asset monitoring.

LWS Creative have worked with Kittiwake on Exhibition pop ups, banners and promotional signs in the past.  But this exhibition is a little different. Built onsite in Hamburg the stand is a hard hitting example of how a clean consistent brand can grab the attention in a massive market and allow a firm like Kittiwake to stand out in a hall full of MNE’s and Oil Majors.

The team at LWS cannot wait for the stand to be finished and to see our rebrand and exhibition design making an impact on the world stage.

Until next week here is a sneak preview of the stand build in progress…
