3 - 7 Feb, Birmingham, England: Birmingham once again witnessed the fantastic Spring Fair at its NEC grounds, thus confirming its popularity in the market. The show attracted more than 70000 trade visitors from the UK & other parts of the world who came searching for quality suppliers exhibiting at the popular annual event. Exhibitors across Spring Fair 2008 reported steady orders and high levels of interest in trends and new products, despite some caution from certain retailers as expected in the current economic climate. The event closed down with solid business written for the year ahead.

Organisers of Spring Fair, Emap TPS said, “We are pleased to have delivered another solid Spring Fair. Times are challenging for retailers and suppliers, and the only way to stay ahead is by constantly sourcing new ideas, new ranges and new ways to keep the offer fresh. Spring Fair 2008 has offered suppliers a contemporary platform to showcase their newest ranges alongside the best of the industry. Visiting retailers welcomed the considerable investment in the show’s presentation including the addition of directional content such as the Future Trends Stage, which attracted thousands of visitors. Many exhibitors reported better than expected orders and some year-on-year increases. We are delighted that exhibitors have given a clear vote of confidence in Spring Fair with the 2009 event being already more than 70% re-booked.”

Continuing its objective of reaching out to global buyers to promote Indian Manufacturers & Exporters, Tradeindia for the 3rd consecutive time exhibited at the popular show. As always, Spring Fair offered tradeindia.com a fantastic platform to reach out to global visitors & provide them with quality database of Indian Manufacturers & Exporters listed with tradeindia.com. UK is one of the popular destinations for India-made products and Spring Fair always attracts a number of quality buyers who seek products offered by Indian Suppliers. This makes tradeindia's participation at Spring Fair even more important. Tradeindia's representatives at the show on all days gave away Tradeindia CD Roms, Printed Catalogs and Tradeindia's popular Yellow Promotional bags to the visitors. Visitors appreciated tradeindia's efforts & felt it would help them in identifying and reaching out to quality Indian Suppliers for their sourcing needs. On all 5 days, Tradeindia's booth attracted innumerable buyers and sellers, who were keen to know more about how they could identify and reach out to quality Indian suppliers. The Tradeindia yellow bags, hanging on the visitors' shoulders on all days of the show, were a cynosure of all eyes.

With UK as a growing market for Indian products and with each passing edition of Spring Fair offering a wider & bigger platform for Indian Suppliers to reach out to thousands of new buyers, Tradeindia will certainly look forward to be a part of the show once again in its forthcoming edition next year in February 2009.
