It was a pleasant morning for the Website Success team, consisting of Nick Fenmor Collins and Kylee Charles as they set to keenly network with attendees
and stand holders at the 2012 South East Business Show.
Held at Millennium Conference Centre, Effingham Park, Gatwick, the location provided ample space for all 135 exhibiting businesses to set up their display
stands, arrange marketing materials and neatly place an array tempting treats in dishes and bowls to further entice potential passing trade.
Armed with banner stands to showcase the companies new branding, lots of free helpful literature and examples of performance reports, the stage was set
for the enthused Website Success team by the start of the show.
A steady flow of customers peaked at lunchtime, with a number of the local businesses popping in to see just what the show's exhibitors could offer them.
The footfall variety, including blue chip multi- nationals, through to entrepreneurial sole traders was. "Just about right for us" said Nick. "It's
funny, I think the mark of a good show certainly comes when you notice that you've missed the ordering time for the sandwiches!" He added.
Once the team had stopped for bit to eat at about 14:00, it was the end of the show soon after. Armed with some great leads in the form of potential collaborations
and new prospects, the team packed up the car and headed back to their central Chichester office.
In its second year, the organisers of the show sell its format as being "A unique event, as it unites all sectors of business and is the only marketing
medium that brings the buyer, seller and products together at the same time and in the same place."
"I think we will certainly consider taking a stand at the show again next year" Kylee said. "Once we can properly evaluate what our return on our investment
is, it is an event that we may ensure we place firmly in to next year's events schedule."
Further information about the show can be found on their website.
