YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED
What is a retail trade show?
Retail suppliers showcase their products at wholesale cost to visitors. This means that products are sold in bulk and at a lower price than the recommended retail price. Visitors (buyers) sources these products at the event to see in their stores directly to the customer. In the case of Autumn Fair, exhibitors are often companies that manufacture their own home, gift or fashion products and visitors often own or work at independent retail stores, multiples, department stores or online stores.
Why should I be part of a trade show?
A trade show offers exhibitors the opportunity to display their products to a large purchase-ready audience over a short period of time, to take wholesale orders at the show, and to network with key industry for future sales. For visitors and buyers trade shows offer the opportunity to meet existing suppliers, discover new exhibitors and products and to place orders at the show or at a later date.
What can I expect from Autumn Fair?
At Autumn Fair we showcase 800+ exhibitors throughout the NEC’s halls across 3 key destinations (Home, Gift & Fashion) and 10 sectors. We’ll also welcome over 19,000 visitors from small independent stores to large chains as they prepare for the year-end rush. Visitors can attend seminars from successful names in the industry. All seminars are free of charge and based on a first come first serve basis.
