“It is important that the show continues to evolve whilst still concentrating on delivering a focused and strong relevant product mix for our visitors,” she continued. “Our buyers come from a broad range of retailers, from specialist boutiques to department stores, and are looking to source items and place orders across all age ranges and product categories from everyday items to special occasionwear.”
Over 85% of INDX visitors are also returning buyers. At the last show, Costal Kids said; “INDX Kids was great from start to finish and everyone was really friendly and helpful. Well done and thank you very much for a great experience.”
The third showroom will provide exhibition space for over 30 new brands, including leading Spanish brand Tutto Piccolo and French company, Petit Bateau as well as the exciting brand portfolio from Gary Kirkland Agencies which includes Balloon Chic, Chua, Milon and sustainably made organic brand Art & Eden.
Long-term exhibitor Charles Robins from Babybol commented: “INDX is a great show, well organised, great atmosphere, very well attended and has very satisfied exhibitors. It’s the best children’s exhibition in the UK.”
“There is no substitute for actually meeting your customers, especially those who are new to your brand,” agreed Sharon Beardsworth from Gary Kirkland Agencies. “INDX is the perfect place for holding those customer meetings, launching the new season’s collection and catching up on what is happening in the market. Our customers love it, and, for many, it has become an essential date in their buying calendar. Roll on February!”
