WELCOME TO...
Showtime 2013
With some small signs of an upturn in the economy, now’s
the time to hang a sign on the door saying ‘gone to find
some great new products!’
As a new year dawns, and a new round of trade shows
get ready to open their doors, it’s definitely time to invest a
couple of days in meeting new exhibitors and seeing
existing suppliers, while keeping an eye open for the bright
young talent that abounds in every sector.
While a trip to an overseas exhibition provides a
chance to witness at first hand the product trends
available in other quarters of the globe, many of the
major UK trade shows, such as Spring Fair International,
Top Drawer, Home, Pulse, Home & Gift, the London
Stationery Show and Brand Licensing Europe, are now
focusing on more international exhibitors, providing a
cornucopia of product ideas to inspire.
Look out for more gift companies than ever at
Exclusively Housewares this year, and make a point of
visiting dedicated greeting card show PG Live, now in its
fifth year, which will be upping the ante yet again in 2013.
Plus, for gift retailers branching out into toys, Toy Fair is not
only celebrating its Diamond 60th anniversary in January
but significantly expanding, while for those looking for
Christmas 2013 and other seasonal giftware, Harrogate
Christmas & Gift is the place to be.
To find out more, turn the pages of Showtime to see
who’s who and who’s doing what, with global industry show
listings on pages 24-31.
The most successful retailers across the board will be
walking the aisles. Can you afford not to?

Exposé Travel/
dovetail foks
Visiting or exhibiting at a trade show - whether in the UK or
internationally - can be a costly business, with hotels and
travel expenses often a stumbling block.
But costs can be realistic. Experts in business trips,
Exposé Travel and dovetail foks, the official UK travel
partners for a host of leading home and gift shows around
the world, offer extremely competitive rates for both air fares
and hotels, with savings of up to 60% off standard fares.
From Chicago’s International Home &
Housewares Show to Birmingham’s
Spring and Autumn Fairs, Hong Kong’s
Gift & Premium Fair, China’s Canton Fair
and The Licensing Expo in Las Vegas,
Exposé Travel offers specially negotiated
rates for both flights and accommodation.
“Of course, it depends on when
people are travelling, but the company’s
expertise is in providing very competitive
air fares for both
exhibitors and visitors,”
explains Paul Vasdev,
“using reputable
airlines that fly from all
UK major airports.”
Above and above right:
Exposé Travel can arrange
competitive travel and
accommodation at shows
around the world to include
Chicago’s International
Home & Housewares Show
and the Licensing
International Expo, Las
Vegas (right).
“We also have direct
access to a wide variety of
hotels in the USA, thereby
making attending Las Vegas’
Licensing Show or Chicago’s
International Home &
Housewares Show realistic
possibilities. But it’s not just
America. We can make
suggestions as to where
people might stay when
they’re at a trade fair virtually
anywhere in the world, and
at the best possible prices,
as we deal with over 70,000
hotels and 7,500
destinations worldwide. As a result, we
are the first choice for many individuals
and companies in the gift and home
arena who travel regularly to fairs on
business.”
For suppliers and retailers who are
members of The Giftware Association or
BHETA, costs come down even further.
Exposé Travel also works closely with the
US Commercial Department of the US
Embassy and together are able to offer
free registration to many exhibitions in
the USA as well as other benefits.
“Exposé Travel offers specially
negotiated prices for members of trade
associations such as these, as well as
special delegation leader rates too,”
confirms Paul.
But it’s not just companies attending
show internationally who benefit.
Continues Paul: “We are very
experienced in dealing with hotels
throughout the UK and abroad, and can
provide exhibitors and buyers with special
rates for hotels as close to the individual
venues as possible.”

Exclusively Housewares
Once again, solid industry support for annual UK trade show
Exclusively Housewares left organiser Brooke House
Exhibitions able to declare ‘Sold Out!’ in just four months.
Enjoyed by both buyers and exhibitors for
its unique format and relaxed,
professional atmosphere, the 2013 show
will open with an impressive exhibitor list
containing the housewares industry’s
leading brands and suppliers, and some
great new names for the UK market.
“Our exhibitors bring flair, originality
and a clear understanding of what the
great British public want in their kitchens
and dining rooms to the show,”
commented show director, Simon Boyd.
“They are trend setters in terms of
colours and style, and the show is a great
place to see what is, and what will be,
happening in the heart of the home in
the coming months.”
As the housewares industry has
developed, so the show’s line-up of
exhibitors and visitors changes to reflect
current trends and opportunities. Now in
its twelfth year, Exclusively Housewares
has incorporated storage, tableware and
small domestic appliances into its offer
over the years and updated its list of
invited buyers to match.
“Our close relationship with the
housewares members of the British
Home Enhancement Trade Association
(BHETA) is vital to the show,” says Simon
Boyd. “They help to keep us up to date
with how, where, and by whom, their
products are being sold, which in turn
helps us to understand the sort of
product mix the show needs to stay
relevant to the market.
“For example, the number of
housewares products that are also
regarded as practical, good-looking gifts
is on the increase, so we’ll be inviting key
top-end gift retailers who are already, or
might wish to, increase their business
and profit by including housewares in
their product mix, to the show.”
In addition,
Exclusively Housewares
continues to attract a
small but significant
European audience.
Originally conceived
of as a ‘UK market’ show, Brooke House
has carefully added key European
retailers to its visitor wish list over the
past four years.
“2013 will be no exception. We have
already identified influential European,
Chinese and Russian buyers to invite to
the show. The positive response the
show has enjoyed to date is a real
testament to the interest our exhibitors
generate overseas,” commented Simon.
So, for two days in June 2013, the
Business Design Centre in Islington,
London, will open its doors to show off
the very best brands and suppliers in
the housewares industry. It is an ideal
opportunity for buyers to catch up
with their suppliers and plan ahead
for Christmas 2013 and on into
Spring 2014.
“With our exhibitor line-up already in
place for next June, we can confidently
predict another great year for the show make sure the show dates are in your
housewares diary now!” said Simon.
Above: Exclusively
Housewares continues to be
popular with buyers and
suppliers alike.
Right: The perfect place to
consider new ideas and trends.

Harrogate Christmas
& Gift
Now is the time to start planning ahead for the 2013 season and
Harrogate Christmas & Gift, which takes place from 13th to 16th
January 2013 at the Harrogate International Centre, is, for most buyers
in gift related industries, the first port of call for the year.
Left: Through the
Christmas window.
Below: Festive entrance
aisle.
The show is one of the fastest growing in
its sector catering not only for Christmas
- with probably the greatest selection of
trees, lights and festive decorations in the
entire UK - but also novelties and gifts
for every occasion, from Halloween and
Mother’s Day right through to furniture,
ornaments, flowers and giftware for the
home and garden.
In fact, Harrogate Christmas & Gift
has seen a steady increase in all gift and
homeware ranges attracting discerning
buyers from large department stores,
novelty and souvenir shops and
traditional gift stores, as well as
numerous DIY stores, garden centres,
museums, country estates, castles and
farm shops.
Amongst the baubles, tinsel and
Christmas trees you will find an array of
fabulous products
to fill your shelves
the whole year
round, from silk
flowers, pictures
and chinaware to
garden furniture,
barbecues and
outdoor ornaments.
In fact, whatever your retail focus, you
can guarantee to find a whole host of
exciting new lines to ensure your
customers keep on flooding through
your doors.
Once again, Premier Decorations will
be filling the entire Hall H with its
extensive range of products which
incorporate everything for Christmas and
Halloween home and gift items, plus
garden products such as chimineas,
barbeques and patio furniture.
Winter Flora has moved to a new
location at the show this year and its
fabulous range of dried flowers and
naturally inspired decorations promise to
make a focal point in the Queens Suite.
Likewise, Festive Productions has
increased its product portfolio to include
nearly every conceivable Christmas
decoration category, from ornate glass
and shatterproof baubles to tinsel
garlands and artificial Christmas trees.
Buyers will be spoilt for choice when
visiting the company’s stands located in
both Halls M and C.
Of course, whilst Harrogate
Christmas & Gift gives buyers the chance
to see the latest launches from their
favourite suppliers, the show has lots of
new exhibitors this year including Lesser
& Pavey and The Satchville Gift
Company, with an interesting catalogue
of products including baskets and
storage containers, textile and hanging
decorations, plus a range of pots and
planters. The Solar Company is also
making its debut with a fabulous range
of solar lights for all year round,
including Christmas. These lights are
designed for use in the UK and even
work in winter, solving lighting problems,
particularly where no source of
electricity is available.
Harrogate is a great trade show
location, offering lots of quality,
affordable hotels and some fabulous
restaurants. The town is easily
accessible with a straight drive up the
M1, or via direct train lines from
London’s Kings Cross. British Airways
have also re-introduced its one hour
flight from Heathrow to Leeds Bradford
airport (just a stone’s throw away from
Harrogate) for around £110 return.

Show
The London Stationery Show, where fashion
meets function, is the only UK exhibition
dedicated to stationery products and writing
instruments. It takes place during National

correspondence is enjoying a
revival, more people have a home
office than ever before and designled notebooks and pens are the

All these factors are creating
new sales opportunities for retailers
of stationery, including card and
gift shops.
If you sell or are thinking of selling
stationery, this is the exhibition to visit.
It’s a real one-stop stationery shop with a
star studded list of well-known exhibitors

roof than any other UK trade exhibition.

PG Live 2013
And now we are five! Progressive Greetings Live, the
international greeting card show and the only show
dedicated to greeting cards, reaches its first milestone as it
prepares for its 2013 show at the Business Design Centre in the heart of London.
The show will run two weeks earlier in 2013, on Tuesday May 14 and Wednesday
May 15 to ensure it does not clash with half term holidays.
A Fresh New Look For 2013
To mark its fifth year, the show has
introduced a new show logo and fresh,
vibrant colour scheme. The organising
team is hard at work bringing together
the established world of greeting cards,
and seeking out new publishing
companies, all of which are keen to make
the most of the show.
Springboard – A Fanfare To New
And Emerging Publishers
Springboard@PG Live has proven to be
a real draw for card buyers - stuffed full
of fantastic new, and often ‘first time at
a trade show’ publishers, this is the
place to find and talk to the fresh
greetings talent!
The Specialist
Artists’ Quarter
Introduced for the
first time last year,
the Artists’ Quarter
gives artists and
designers space to
present their
diverse portfolios
for the delectation
of publishers and
licensors alike!
DIAL – Designs, Imagery & Art
Licensing - Back In Force
Also introduced in 2012, this area shines
a spotlight on the thousands of original
designs, illustrations and creative
properties available throughout the show,
many of which are available to buy or
licence. This year, the team aims to
extend the reach of DIAL to recognise
the increasing importance of licensing to
greeting publishers.
But, as ever, the focus of PG Live
will always be on making it fabulously
easy for retailers, distributors and
licensors to meet and do business.
Visitors will be able to enjoy FREE
refreshments throughout the show, FREE
use of the show’s Henry Cole Club Buyers
Lounge, a great FREE lunch, a FREE
show goody bag and an invitation to come
along to a fantastic industry post-show
FREE drinks party on Tuesday 14 May.
“Our aim is to put on an event that
truly represents the market and provides
buyers with an opportunity to access
publishers across the board, from the
established to the brand new,” says
Warren Lomax, joint show director.
“We are slowly extending the
boundaries of the show to recognise
what the greeting industry encompasses,
which is not just the sale of cards, but
also the sale and licensing of the designs
and images from those cards.”
