Printwear and Promotion Live 2013- doors opened to the punters at 10am on Sunday February 24th. They were queuing up with their suitcases and bags ready to scavenge as many freebies as possible. It was absolutely manic for the entire day, with a first day attendance of 2000 visitors. This is a 7 percent increase on Day 1 of last year’s exhibition. There were over a 120 stands with all of the industry’s leading garment brands such as Gildan, Fruit Of The Loom and Regatta. As well as the clothing brands showcasing their new products there was a huge machine presence at this year’s exhibition. Midwest’s Happy HCR-1508 8 Head Machine was opposite our stand which embroidered some very impressive complex designs over the course of the 3 days.
GF took its usual position; just on in the left hand corner as you walk in. But this year our offerings were different! We had less space for our core products i.e badges, pennants, sashes and epaulettes. This was due to the fact we have a brand new exciting industry specific white label solution to promote; etrader- websites for garment decorators. And as if all of this wasn’t exciting enough we were also giving away free ice cream- complete with a chocolate flake.
It was a toss-up between our websites and the ice cream as to which was the most popular offering, but I think the websites just edged it. We talked to over 140 different companies over the course of the 3 days and received some great feedback and many additions to our growing group of etrader website owners.
So a big thanks to everyone we saw at Printwear and Promotion LIVE this year, we hope you enjoyed your time on our stand and we hope to see you next year.
