Your Hospitality Trade Show Organisers
“These are the only trade shows that enable us to reach all of the hospitality market in New Zealand each year.”
“A very cost efficient method of getting our message to the market.”
“We have made many new friends over the years and now understand the value of the networking opportunities that occur at the shows. They have certainly generated new business for us.”
The Chefs’ Market “more than 400 people in your shop in 6 hours”
This is the ideal way for businesses that produce local, fresh, new and different products - and who might sell their produce or products through a local farmers market - to reach the decision-makers in the hospitality and food service industries. It is sometimes difficult to break into these markets and the trade shows offer a real opportunity for that to happen. You will meet the owners, managers and chefs and thus have the opportunity to introduce your products to them. It provides a very powerful promotional tool and to date we have seen some really positive results.
Interested? Call the team at Katrina Gordon Trade Shows to discuss this exciting opportunity. Telephone +64 3 3389980
