Over four days this week, Spring Fair organisers say exhibitors have reported huge volumes of orders and the average order values going up.
Buyers from retailers including John Lewis, Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Argos, Hobbycraft and many more attended the show.
Julie Driscoll, divisional managing director, Spring Fair & Moda, commented: “It’s been a truly extraordinary four days at Spring Fair, we’re so pleased to be able to report on such overwhelming success stories and hear the brilliant feedback from our visitors and exhibitors.
“Backed up by our 72-year heritage and experience, Spring Fair continues to look forward, to listen to and understand the marketplace, to evolve and innovate, to strive to deliver the ultimate buying experience and the best return on investment for our exhibitors.”
The new Curated Meetings service also provided hundreds of face-to-face meetings, leading to new partnerships and connections.
Exhibitors from across the show reported success stories. Grant Gilmour, sales and marketing manager UK, Gemar, commented: “Spring Fair has been very busy and exciting. Visitors have been really excited by our new colour launch – Latte – and are very interested in the new garland kits. We’ve had a big buzz about the stand decor by Elari Events, and had visitors coming back especially to see the team when they visited on the last day of the show.”
