With another sold out show under its belt for 2008, Exclusively Housewares organiser, Brooke House Exhibitions, is determined to make the most of the essential ingredients which make it such a popular show with both visitors and exhibitors alike.
The ethos of the show has always been to focus on what is new for the coming autumn and Christmas season, with increasing numbers of exhibitors also using the show to float ideas for the following spring too.
"Above all, this show was set up to be run 'By the industry, for the industry', and the views of our exhibitors and visitors are woven into everything we do on the show," explains show director Pam Plant. "We canvas opinion on everything from our ad campaign to the lunches we serve, to the show party, this focused approach and attention to detail pays off."
Indeed the show is bucking a general industry trend, with its visitor numbers rising steadily every year. Buyer feedback was that they enjoyed the show's focused feel; the emphasis on only showing new product and the quality and mix of exhibitors and, of course, the complimentary hospitality.
So, Exclusively Housewares continues to go from strength to strength, delivering a very different type of trade show to increasingly time-pressured buyers, who appreciate the focus it offers them.
"We're happy that our show format works for the many different types of housewares and tabletop buyers in our sector. However, we're not resting on our laurels; there are always new initiatives to try, like our Merchandise Mart, which we will be building upon in 2008. With the continuing support of our members we will work hard to ensure that Exclusively Housewares remains the 'not to be missed event' for the housewares industry!" said show director Pam Plant.
