Happy New Year!
We have just had another successful meet the buyer day, the 3rd event we have held to date. Even the snow and bad weather conditions did not stop just under 100 suppliers from attending their appointments.
Again it was a busy and fast paced day as you would expect with only 15 minutes to give your pitch and lots of suppliers to fit in.
As there is only a short amount of time allocated to suppliers, preparation is key to making sure you get the best out of the time you have got. One comment we received was “It was very helpful to receive the request for information prior to attending the event, the Retail ready check list and details of what to prepare, bring on the day etc., “
To find the Retail Ready Checklist click on the “how to supply Booths tab” and look under Resources. You will also find detail on how to calculate retail profit margin which many suppliers find helpful, under this section.
Attached are a couple of pictures taken at the event to give you an idea of how the meetings are set up.
