    Who has been to the Home & Gift Show in the past?

    There's an upcoming one in Harrogate in July and I want to exhibit there. But has anyone here been before and if so, how was it? Is it worth exhibiting? What's the footfall like? etc.

    If you ONLY had 1 month to get huge exposure..

    Ok, so the product is a range of new innovative laundry airers from Japan. They save space because they can hook over doors, cupboards, wall hooks etc. They're a completely new concept to the UK! Oh yeah, and rough budget about a grand or so. What would you do?

    Sending out a Press Release to get Maximum Exposure!

    Oh ok, I just looked up advertorials. I've never heard of it before but I think it's pretty much what I had in mind. Am I right to assume that these have to be paid for like normal advertisements? But if I had a story with an angle/topic, this is more likely to be featured for free?

    Sending out a Press Release to get Maximum Exposure!

    It's not always true. You see new products featured in the newspapers all the time! especially online. As long as the product is unique and interesting. Sure, it may not make the front page, but getting it in a major newspaper is good enough. This is what I believe.

    Sending out a Press Release to get Maximum Exposure!

    Yes I'm serious. It's 1002 posts now. :D Why would PA will have zero interest? I thought it was their job to distribute news. Regardless of whether we or the manufacturers get the exposure, we're still the exclusive UK distributors of this innovative product, so why would we not get coverage?

    Sending out a Press Release to get Maximum Exposure!

    I want to get some exposure to some innovative products I'm distributing. Do I just write an article and then send it out to editors of newspapers/magazines of my targeted audience? I know that the product and story has to be interesting, but I'm assuming that if editors decide to run my...

    Congrats on your achievement, that's great! I'm in the home industry (supplying laundry airers). I've been speaking to a Company that specializes in getting new products into retail stores and they sound good so far, will probably arrange a meeting with them soon. What was your incentives...

    Where is the best place to find quality sales agents?

    I'm not necessarily looking for the cheapest option, but the most effective. I don't have much time to do so much legwork and would rather outsource to get my products into retail. That's why I feel that high quality sales agents are essential.

    Where is the best place to find quality sales agents?

    I want to find decent sales agents. There's AgentBase UK, People Per Hour and various others. I have a limited budget, which is why I cannot go around trying all sorts. I would like some other members on here to share their experiences and what they consider to be the best option. Many thanks!
