Instant Songs Create Instant Interest

At Your Trade Show Booth

For over 20 years, Kim Olson has been drawing crowds and entertaining them with his "Instant Songs." Sparked by a humorous remark, article of clothing or bright smile from a prospective customer, Kim will create a humorous song, in rhyme, about the individual. Most importantly, Kim will incorporate information about your company's product or Mission Statement into the song. To guarantee that the prospect will remember your company, Kim will present the prospect with a cassette of the "Instant Song."

As the crowds gather, Kim entertains with additional instant and motivating songs, as well as a "Signature Song" custom written about the company. This signature song can be pre-recorded on cassettes with your company logo on them, and used as a high-quality gift item at the booth. The addition of the "Instant Song" on the tape, guarantees that prospective clients will keep your company in mind, long after the trade show is over.

Kim's performance is equally effective as an isle-view presentation or as a larger scale theater-style "Musical Motivation Show." This show includes words and music custom written for your company and will get the audience of prospective clients involved in the excitement. It's a great way to introduce new ideas, information and products in a format that will be remembered.

Kim has created custom and instant songs for Cyber Media, AT&T, Showtime, RTM, Variety Club International, Kodak, GTE, McDonald's, Toshiba, Hewlett Packard and many more!
