Speed Networking at the Suffolk and Essex Business to Business Exhibition

The Suffolk and Essex Business to Business Exhibition will be heavily promoted throughout the region and will give you a wonderful, extremely cost-effective, unique and highly enjoyable opportunity to dramatically increase your sales and to promote your business.

We believe our nationwide business events have been successful for the following reasons:

97% of visitors are authorised to buy on behalf of their company or organisation, with over 74% placing at least one order and 29% placing between two and five orders with exhibiting companies.

Specifically, depending upon your business aims, the exhibition will provide you with the opportunity to:

  • Generate direct sales on the stand
  • Generate new sales leads
  • Reach new customers
  • Launch new products or services
  • Reach new markets
  • Build brand/company awareness
  • Build on relationships with existing customers/clients/leads

Who Should Exhibit?

Any company, business, organisation, public body, NGO, individual or start-up business which provides services, products, advice or training to any type of business, organisations, and their employees in Ipswich, Suffolk and Essex.

Furthermore, even if you provide consumer-type products or services - remember the visitors and other exhibitors will be generally affluent consumers as well - so it will help you to reach a new, high spending and lucrative market!

I've never exhibited before - What Does it Involve?

From years of experience we know that some business or organisations may not have attended an exhibition as exhibitors before - that's why we wrote the "Guide to Successful Exhibiting" in 1995. You'll find it an invaluable guide. It goes into all aspects of exhibiting - including on-stand promotions, staffing, generating and following up qualified leads, body language etc. This will be emailled to you once you've booked your stand. Furthermore, once having read it, you are very welcome to call us for advice or ideas on how to improve your presence at the exhibition. We want you to do well so that you come back to exhibit time and time again!

How will the Exhibition be Promoted?

The exhibition, as you know from seeing this website, is already being promoted through this website and by e-mails and our telesales campaign - businesses are already registering both to exhibit and visit. We have a massive database of 20,000 businesses to whom free invitations will be sent out. It will also be heavily promoted in the Exhibition advertising feature in the EADT in the weeks prior to the exhibition and there will be a special exhibition supplement in the EADT Business section. Futhermore, national statistics show that 40% of visitors to exhibitions come from invitations sent out by exhibiting companies - so we will provide you with a "master invitation" that you can copy as many times as you wish, to send out to your prospects, customers and clients. You will also receive a free exhibitor listing with up to 200 words in which you can describe your products/services; on-stand promotions/discounts etc.

Moreover, as you'll see there is a poster which you can download to promote the exhibition in your very own business - from now onwards!
Feel free to download as many as you wish - the more the merrier!

Here are a few comments from our exhibitors:

'As you know we attend many such events during the course of the year, and I would just like to say that the organisation and setup was excellent, all my team attending were impressed. In fact they were so impressed that they request that we provisionally book again next year, so pencil us in.'
(Peter Tomlinson, Area Sales Manager, Abbey Life Assurance plc)

'We were looking for new contacts for our fast growing product range. We were very please with the response. A good number of enquiries with orders and even repeats in recent weeks!'
(Ron Pearce, Director, Chester Presentations)

'Three main benefits all of which have produced an ongoing enquiry base to all parties:

  • Immediate business generated from being at the exhibition
  • Referral generated business from new clients and visitors to the show
  • Interaction between firms helping each other and recommending each other where appropriate
(Chris Walters, MD, Corke-Walters Associates)
