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.” Hot Spring Spas Aaron Sampson “We’ve been doing the Auckland Home Show for seven years and we’ll continue to do it each year because it works.” Auckland Landscape Supplies Mike Bryant “It’s a great place for branding my product and my business. We’ve been coming for sixteen years and it’s the best place to meet people, get referrals and have people to see the products.” Absolute Air Conditioning Malcolm Miller “We come to the Auckland Home Show to showcase our new colour range, support existing clients, seek new clients and drive customers back to our stores.” Resene Ingel Janssen “We get the opportunity to both showcase new products and sell at the Auckland Home Show. We get lots of sales at the event and the following three months.” The Appliance Shed Cherie Kerrison “For Kitchen Mania this is our fourth year at the Show. The Auckland Home Show is great for timing, it happens at the beginning of Spring when people are wanting to look at renovations and kitchens. We keep coming back because we can showcase our kitchen range to the right audience.” Kitchen Mania Carl Arnold
