Welcome back to work for those of you who have been on an extended break, or whose businesses have been ticking over during the summer. A new term for most of us, and we are looking forward to ramping up activities for the rest of the year.
First up is a word from Phil Reynolds, who tells us that Vendex North 24 is once again bursting at the seams now that an extra twelve stands have been added… and check out their snazzy new logo.
‘We have had a such fantastic demand for exhibition stand space at Vendex North 24 in November that we have had to add an extra twelve stands totalling 139 booths making this the biggest show to date. Even with these extra stands we have filled it quickly and now have a waiting list.
There are thirty exhibitors who are brand new to Vendex North which is a testament to the opportunities there are in the Vending/Micromarkets/Out of Home sectors that these companies want to tap in to. So put the date in your diaries November 6th at The Centenery Pavilion, Lowfields Road, Beeston, Leeds LS11 0ES
Show times – 10am – 4pm. Register to visit – www.vend-ex.com Entry is free’
Second, and still on Vendex North 24. Planet Vending in our support for the show, offers all exhibitors the opportunity to showcase their participation in a feature that we call Spotlight on Vendex. For those new to the show and new to Planet Vending, this is where we write or edit an article on your behalf that tells the story that you want to tell. Some use it to introduce new products, some to introduce themselves to the visitors to the show for the first time or after new additions to the team, some just use it to remind people just how great they are and to invite visitors to the stand. The story is yours, we just help you to get it read and in front of your target audience. Every year Vendex expands its visitor base, no longer is it the aimed solely at the operator, although they are a major part of the Vendex target audience. We see local and national businesses, facilities managers, hotel and restaurant owners and pretty much everyone who has a desire for unattended retail.
It is still niche, but the niche is expanding: Vending, Micromarkets, Office coffee and other refreshments, are a vital part of the retail industry.
To participate in our popular feature this is what we offer:-
1. Minimum 300 words, written or edited from a written brief, or from a short audio/video interview with our editor. You discuss what you want to talk about and Ian will work with that to create an engaging and informative article that shows your business in the best possible light.
2. Once the article is signed off, you will provide us with images – around three including one that we can use as a featured image. (minimum 980 x 300pix).
3. We publish live as soon as you have it signed off, or on a date to suit you prior to the show. (Note: the earlier we publish the longer it is on the site and the more exposure it will have). The article will hit our social media platforms.
4. On the Friday following the publication, it will automatically be part of our famous weekly round up of stories published that week to our email subscribers and again on social media.
5. On the week of the show, when all focus is on the show, we will send out the feature, with trailers and links to each article, on a solus html emailer to our email subscribers, and yes, again, across social media.
6. Following the show we will come back to you for a quote for our post show review.
Our aim is to have your profile raised before and after Vendex North 24 so that you get as much as possible out of your attendance and investment.
The cost for all this activity? Less than you think. £195 plus VAT.
