Published 23rd October 2012
At the end of September thousands of retailers converged onto Stax’s flagship branch in Manchester for the first of two Big Brands Trade Shows, held over two consecutive months.
With over 100 of the UK’s biggest brands in attendance, knowledgeable reps descended out over the 100,000 square foot branch in a variety of locations, to give savvy customers the chance to secure some of the hottest deals of the year – and discuss their ranges and new products in more detail.
Leeds based retailer, Mr Vowles, commented,
“Very, very good offers from a wide selection of brands – coupled with the chance to meet new suppliers and seeing products not even listed yet – made the show well worth attending!”
Stax Joint MD David Hibbert added,
“We’ve had some fantastic feedback from our customers on the whole, many of whom traveled some distance to attend the 2-day show. The new layout of the stand locations, the very keen offers, prizes, and highly enthused reps were all ingredients for a successful event! We’re now looking forward to taking the Big Brands Show to Scotland at the end of October!”
Now, with less than 3 weeks away until the Edinburgh show, Scottish retailers are reserving their places for the 1-day event, which will be held at the fantastic Dynamic Earth venue in the heart of the city. The Edinburgh show promises more of the same, with more than 80 big brands offering unmissable deals!
Stax Purchase Director, Simon Wright, who heads the exhibitor recruitment for The Big Brands Trade Shows, commented,
“Our suppliers were delighted with the attendance of the Manchester show, and already we’re anticipating the Edinburgh event to be equally as successful! I would stress that for any savvy retailers wanting to attend, they should visit the Stax or Wishart websites for more information and register their interest today!”
