If you are a new company or have recently launched into the UK for the first time, exhibiting can be a particularly daunting prospect. BPA Baby & Child aims to make exhibiting as smooth as possible ensuring your experience gives great return on investment, while alleviating the pressures of first time exhibiting.
Launchpad eligibility - if you are a company exhibiting for the very first time and have never exhibited in the UK at a nursery trade show before, we would welcome you on board our Launchpad at BPA Baby & Child.
The Launchpad is an area of the show dedicated to new exhibitors and for many years has proved a magnet to retailers looking for new and innovative products. Last year in particular, numerous Launchpad exhibitors took orders from from some of the largest multiple retailers in the UK.
"Sleepytot would like to thank the BPA. We had an unexpected number of orders and interest in our product and feel that it was a hugely productive three days. The Launchpad is a great idea and gives small start up companies such as ours a fantastic chance to meet with a wide variety of buyers."
To take the hassle out of planning the logistics for your stand, the Launchpad comes as shell scheme complete with carpet, fascia board with your company name and one general purpose spot light. You can literally turn up and start displaying your products. You can also enhance your stand further by ordering furniture such as shelving and display units, tables and chairs etc extra lighting and power (for an additional cost).
Sites in the Launchpad cost £163 per square metre, saving £29 per square metre on shell scheme sites elsewhere in the show.
For example,
a stand 2 m x 2 m stand would be just £652 for the entire three day period - that is less than a half page advertisement in many publications and places your product in the face of almost every major nursery retailer in the UK.
Launchpad exhibitors are entitled to exactly the same pre-show publicity and PR benefits as other exhibitors, including a free link from the show website to your own site.
