AUTUMN FAIR DELIVERS THE BEST GIFTS OF ALL AND LAUNCHES OFFICIAL APP

Staging the largest gathering of Gift products in one place incorporating Gift, Beauty & Wellbeing, Kid’s Toys and Play, and Greetings, as well as fantastic crossover buying opportunities between Home, Summerhouse, and Fashion sectors, Autumn Fair opens in two weeks’ time, offering this year’s most spectacular opportunity for retailers to see so many new and exclusive Gift brands, discover the hottest trends, and do business in person. Pre-register now at https://www.autumnfair.com/visitor-registration.

Autumn Fair has launched an official App, designed as an easy-to-use handy digital show guide to give visitors even more information before the show, to help them get the most out of their visit, and to aid with on-site navigation. Powered by Grip, the app uses AI-technology to offer product recommendations based on unique interests, enables searches for exhibitors to find out their stand number and location, whilst the in-built interactive floorplan map helps visitors to navigate their way around the show and the Sustainability and Made in Britain Product Trails. It can also bookmark and save exhibitors, products, and seminars from the theatre timetable to individual profiles. All registered visitors get instant access to the app, visit https://www.autumnfair.com/show-app-visitor.

Also showing their new collections exclusively at Autumn Fair this year are Richard Lang & Son. Keith Edmondson, Joint MD says; "Getting back to the much-loved trade show environment will be an occasion I am sure everyone is looking forwards to (I know I am!). Throughout the past 12 months the previously taken for granted face to face interaction has been missed massively, and I look forward to welcoming our amazing customers, new and old, to our stand at Autumn Fair once again."

Not to be missed within the Gift sector is the #SBS Pavilion. Autumn Fair continues its long-standing partnership with Theo Paphitis’ #SBS Small Business Sunday, supporting small independent businesses as they launch into the marketplace.
