We're 2 months in to 2010 and it's exciting times for us at 'KB'. It's been a case of hitting the road to showcase the new products sourced at the key exhibitions and trade shows that the beginning of each year brings.
And ,despite the weather, we're braving it and putting in the miles to get to you.
Early January saw us at the huge European 'PSI' show in Dusseldorf where we again marvelled at the immense volume of products loosely described as promotional products.
It's a huge industry when viewed on this scale, and no small job to walk the halls, collate and edit what's on offer in order to meet our UK market requirements (and tastes!) and to match our client's specific campaign requirements.
It's not all business and blisters though, there's plenty of opportunity to develop supplier relations over a few local specialities at the end of a long day in the exhibition halls...especially when they're 'buying'!
UK shows have seen us at Asia Expo, the Far East manufacturer's tour that touches down at Olympia for a couple of days, the Coventry Ricoh Arena for one of the major UK promotional supplier trade showcases and, this week, we're off to the 'Promota' (Promotional Merchandise Trade Association) exhibition at the good old NEC.
So, no shortage of new products for your marketing campaign messages...we'll do the legwork and make the recommendations, all you need to do is give us the brief! ;-)
