Independent retailers visiting next month’s live Exclusively Show (The Business Design Centre, Islington, August 24-25) can not only claim back up to £50 worth of travel expenses but can benefit from an extra bonus – The Exclusively £100 Gift Voucher – if they are members of Bira (British Independent Retail Association).
Bira members will receive the voucher once they are booked in to attend the show. Once validated at the Bira stand, the voucher can be used towards any single order with a minimum value of £300 minimum (net VAT), placed at the Show. The voucher will be accepted by all 130 Exclusively exhibitors.
Steve Richardson, marketing manager for BHETA (British Home Enhancement Trade Association, which owns Exclusively) has been working with show partners to ensure that Exclusively includes enticing opportunities for independents. He reports: “An exciting ‘must’ for all retailers is the opportunity to preview the key trends in colour, materials and products for this Christmas, 2022 and beyond. The inspirational product displays, trend talks and tours from trend forecaster, Scarlet Opus are hugely popular and while ‘on trend’ products are featured throughout the show, nothing beats seeing the full story in the Trend Hub. The display makes it easy for buyers to understand what will be ‘on trend’ ahead of visiting supplier stands to source the products.”
BHETA’s chief operating officer Will Jones adds: “The Exclusively Show is always an exciting event with its positive, friendly atmosphere and its reputation for predicting commercial opportunities very accurately. With this being the first opportunity for people in the industry to gather in some considerable time, the 2021 Exclusively looks set to be especially popular. Safety for exhibitors and visitors is of course paramount, which is why we have elected to invite buyers and media from the UK only for this year. We are also working closely with the venue to ensure that all guidance is followed to the letter.”
Exclusively visitors and exhibitors are invited to catch up, chat, network and enjoy drinks and nibbles together in the relaxed and safe environment of the Business Design Centre on Tuesday evening, August 24, 6-8pm.
