Congratulations to Crem International, the last of ‘The Enlightened Ones’ who have snapped up the last stands at Vendex North today. We have a full house! Now it’s full steam ahead to fill Old Trafford with visitors, which, from past experience, won’t be too difficult. Once again, an impressive 25% of the stands has been picked up by new businesses to vending which is very exciting as it’s so important for vending to see a mix of our long standing exhibitors alongside ‘newbies’.
Johnny Broderick is already gathering the vending glitterati for an eating and, probably, drinking fest on the Monday before the show. If you’re not on the list now then chances are its too late but do get in touch with him if you want to join the party. Save yourselves though for the show next day as it opens at 10.00 and closes again at 4.00 pm for a concentrated, full on, vending event.
As usual you can pre-register here to avoid queuing although at the last Vendex Midlands, we were so successful at persuading people to pre-register that we even saw queues to pick up badges! It was soon fixed though with Phil going up and down the lines sorting it out in his usual efficient manner.
We have it on good authority that there’s been a bumper order of jacket potatoes for the free lunch, and that the chilli will stretch to all visitors this time. That’s a good thing…
Planet Vending is again launching Spotlight On… Vendex Exhibitors. This is your chance to showcase your business/products and to encourage visitors to come to your stand. You get 300 words, 3 or so images and it only costs £250. The Spotlight goes out as an html emailer to our subscribers the week before the show and each story is distributed again on our Friday round up. Sign up here.
In addition, there are a few banner ad opportunities going to be available over the weeks before and after Vendex but be quick to snap them up as we see a major spike in readership around the shows. Contact us here.
During and just after the show we’ll be uploading good news stories and pictures so if you’d like to be included in the review round up please make yourselves known to one of us during the day, or contact us here.
