Exhibiting

Glee is the UK’s most comprehensive showcase of new products, ideas and opportunities for the garden and leisure industries. Spanning six core sectors, this diverse mix helps a vast range of companies find the products and suppliers they need for upcoming seasons.

Plants | Garden Care | Garden Design | Garden Leisure
Garden Home & Gift | Garden Retail Support
 


Why exhibit?

Put your business in the spotlight. Exhibiting at Glee gets your products and services in front of high quality buyers and decision makers from across the garden and leisure industry.

  • 68% of visitors are Director/Partners or Buyers with direct purchasing power. You get access to the key decision makers
  • Put your new and existing products in the hands of a large, diverse and authoritative audience that you will not find anywhere else
  • A great ROI. A highly cost-effective platform to generate business and establish leads for the upcoming season
  • The perfect place to do business. With convenient facilities and superb transport links, the NEC is easily accessible from anywhere in the world
  • Through Glee's extensive databases and industry relationships, you will benefit from a comprehensive year-round marketing and PR campaign
  • A truly International show, with an audience representing over 55 countries world wide
  • The time is right. Taking place in September, Glee is the most opportune time for the entire industry

A great Return On Investment

Target a large, specific audience.
Glee puts thousands of buyers and retailers in one place, providing the ideal platform to generate new business and leads for 2010 and 2011.

Helping you be more profitable
- Generate new business instantly and concentrate your sales team in one place
- Get maximum exposure for new product launches
- Sell direct. Show entire ranges and clear old lines

Cost-effective exhibiting
For the second year running prices will be held, meaning that no exhibitor will experience a rise in their price per square metre. A new discounted price structure will reward loyalty and volume. Lapsed customers will also still qualify for loyalty discounts as their price will reflect their previous history with Glee.

Every year, Glee attracts buyers, directors and partners from every major UK garden centre group and independent, plus a broad range of key multiple retailers, online retailers and buyer groups – representing the complete spectrum of the marketplace.
