PetQuip is organising a British pavilion at Zoomark International 2013 taking place in Bologna, Italy, on May 9-12, and is inviting UK-based companies to take part. Celebrating its fifteenth anniversary, Zoomark International is the biennial trade fair held in alternate years to Interzoo. A total of 636 firms from 36 countries around the world exhibited at Zoomark International 2011, which attracted over 21,000 trade buyer. The trade show benefits from a wide promotional campaign and once onsite exhibitors are able to showcase their products and services to a broad international audience. Zoomark 2013 will stretch over an exhibit surface of 52,000 square metres, an increase of 8,000 square metres from 2011.
The Italian market for pet supplies is one of the most dynamic in Europe. Retail sales are an estimated €3.8-€4 billion a year and, with supplies for dogs and cats predominating, the market continues to expand at a faster rate than those of France, Germany and the UK.
But Zoomark is not exclusively about the Italian market. The close proximity of Bologna to Central and Eastern Europe draws trade fair visitors from those rapidly developing markets for consumer goods, thus providing an added incentive for British suppliers to exhibit at Zoomark International.
PetQuip has been negotiating extensively with the organisers and can now offer an attractive package deal for British firms at next year’s show: - The British pavilion will have a prime location.
- A comprehensive stand package designed so British firms can just turn up and display their products.
- The potential for grant aid from the UK Trade & Investment’s TAP Scheme subject to eligibilty.
- Help with freight and other logistics from PetQuip’s dedicated event organisers.
- Advice and information about how to make the most of your presence at the event.
- The support at the show of a pet equipment industry information stand, organised by PetQuip and manned by an experienced team, including an interpreter.
- A schedule of press releases before, during and after the show, to publicise the goods and services of the British group
- A preview sent out to named buyers in advance of the show to generate advance publicity for the group.
- Preferential management fee for members of PetQuip.
