THE GIFTWARE ASSOCIATION X EXCLUSIVELY HOUSEWARES

ABOUT THE SHOW

Exclusively has been running in London for over 18 years, operating in the Cookware, Household, Gift and Lifestyle sectors.  Their strength is their “Exclusive” focus on these sectors, which results in a strong, relevant visitor profile representing every major National retailer as well as a broad spectrum of independent retailers, garden centres, lifestyle stores, grocery and ecommerce retailers.  Their visitors are predominantly decision makers which makes the show one of the most productive on their exhibitor’s calendars. 

SHELL SCHEME STANDS FROM £935 (ex VAT)

This year marks the start of a new initiative for the show called the Launch Pad – an area dedicated for smaller businesses with stands from 2sqm- 4sqm which feature reduced stand fees to make the show more accessible for businesses of all sizes.  The Launch Pad is an open space located next to the very popular Trend Zone and busy consumer press room.  Stand fees are all inclusive, incorporating a shell scheme including walls, carpeting, lighting and table & chairs as well as a full marketing package so there are no hidden extra fees.

ORDERS WRITTEN AT THE SHOW

For 2020 the show will continue with their bira gift voucher initiative which was launched two years ago to encourage more orders to be written at the show for exhibitors.  Members of the British Independent Retail Association (Bira) will receive a £100 voucher to spend at the show when they place an order for £300 or more.  The Vouchers are funded by Exclusively and Bira and create a good buzz among the independent trade – and has been reported to generate a significant uplift in visitors from the independent sector.
