Exhibitor Testimonials “We come to the Auckland Home Show to make sales and generate leads. These flow on for 6 to 8 months after the event. It’s exposing our product to a huge number of new customers” Cuchi Furniture Jeremy Dunlop “The great thing about the Auckland Home Show is we get to showcase our product in front of a lot of people in a very short space of time. Many of our customers take advantage of great Show deals, but it also drives them back to our showrooms. The perfect complement of sales and leads.”
