The Rental Show Unveils New Web Site

The Rental Show’s online home, www.TheRentalShow.com, has a new look and new features that will make navigation and registration easier for visitors. The Web site, one of The Rental Show’s most-used resources, unveiled the updated design on September 5. In addition to the new look, the site will provide users with a complete look at 2007 Show information and online registration.

“The site’s redesign was aimed at making navigation easier, while also providing a consistent look with The Rental Show Planner, which will be mailed in early October,” says Allison Box, vice president of association services for the American Rental Association.

One new feature on the Web site is a video message from Chris Wehrman, ARA CEO, that provides an overview of the Atlanta Show’s exhibits, education and events. Other features include the exhibitor locator that allows online visitors to search for exhibiting companies by name or product and view virtual booths that can be customized by the exhibitor with product information and photos.

In the registration area, visitors will find information on all registration packages and deadlines, as well as online registration or a downloadable registration form to fax or mail. Education-wise, the site offers direct links to information on the pre-Show educational workshops Events & Tents, Construction U and Next Generation of Rental Owners.
