WHY EXHIBIT?
BUILDING ON SUCCESS
Following the success of the inaugural TEAM Event in 2023, the show has grown significantly and in 2024 moved to Aston Villa Football Club, attracting new exhibitors and visitors from across all areas of the Trophy, Engraving, Awards & Medals industry. The show has proven to deliver a high-quality audience and an improved visitor experience. The show will take place again at Aston Villa Football Club in January 2025.
LOW-COST FORMAT
The show offers a tiered low-cost format enabling established companies and innovative new start-ups to exhibit alongside each other providing an all-inclusive environment conducive to doing business. Stands start at just £750 up to a maximum of £3,500 and include a range of benefits not usually associated with Trade Shows.
EXHIBITOR & VISITOR BENEFITS
The show provides a number of benefits that are not usually offered at Trade Shows, such as lunch and complimentary refreshments for both exhibitors and visitors.
INCENTIVES & OPPORTUNITIES
By exhibiting, wholesalers are automatically entered into the TEAM Awards voted for by visitors to the show. Not only do exhibitors have the opportunity to win a prestigious award, but visiting retailers can win prizes and equipment by having access to exclusive at-show offers.
NEW BUSINESS & RETURN ON INVESTMENT
Strengthen and invest in your customer relationships rather than expensive exhibition stands, by showcasing your products, machinery and services in a competitively priced environment, increasing your opportunity for return-on-investment.
COMPREHENSIVE & TAILORED MARKETING CAMPAIGN
With a current, clean and up-to-date targeted database, we will deliver a meticulously planned and structured marketing campaign encompassing both print and digital opportunities, utilising our own quarterly digital newsletter ‘TEAM Talk’, along with our daily active social media channels; Instagram, Facebook, Twitter and LinkedIn, our website, partnerships with wholesalers, direct marketing materials and invitations to retailers and previous visitors, including a respected media partnership with Cutting Edge Magazine.
