WELCOME TO...

Showtime 2018

With retailers - both big and small - always on the look-out to find new products to help them refresh and diversify their offering to customers, trade shows continue to be a major mainstay of the gift and home industry.

From London to Las Vegas, Birmingham to Bangkok and Harrogate to Hong Kong, the wealth of innovation and creativity that's out there keeps buyers coming back for more, with suppliers striving to deliver new, new, new, as retailers continually look to differentiate their stores.

Buying, browsing, being inspired and educated, the aisles and stands will be peppered with retailers looking for that ‘something different’, the next big thing for their shops - or just something that will chime with their customers.

Exhibitions provide fabulous opportunities to gain inspiration, from sitting in on an interesting seminar delivered by an expert, as well as simply catching up with industry colleagues.

To keep abreast of who’s doing what and when, please take time to read through the latest issue of Showtime, which not only focuses on the leading gift and home trade shows, but also on the world of greeting cards, stationery, licensing, toys, baby and children's shows around the world. (A special congratulations to dedicated greeting card show PG Live which will be celebrating its10th milestone anniversary this year! See page 16-17). You'll find UK and global industry show listings featured on pages 20-23.

Exhibitions are a great place to ‘walk and talk’, so make sure you’re out there walking and talking in 2018!

FOCUS ON...

Brand Licensing Europe 2018 The total number of attendees at last October's Brand Licensing Europe (BLE) rose by 4 per cent year on year. Attracting over 7,500 licensing industry professionals from all over the world, 2017 was confirmed as the biggest ever BLE.

Of those attendees, BLE saw a huge rise in the number of online retailers attending – up 11 per cent – and significant growth in the volume of visitors attending from outside the UK, specifically France, Spain, South America, Asia and the US, heralding the event as truly global. The show also grew considerably in size, with 289 exhibitors occupying 8 per cent more floor space.

Organiser UBM has confirmed the event will return to Olympia London in 2018, running from 9-11 October, and will expand into the National Hall allowing exhibitors from all three licensing categories - Character & Entertainment, Brands & Lifestyle and Art & Design - to be situated together on one floor.

This year’s show also raised the bar in terms of mainstream media coverage, featuring on and in BBC World News, CNBC, Retail Gazette, BIRA, Bakery and Snacks, FC Business and MCV.

“Our objectives were to attract more visitors and exhibitors from Europe, expand our European content, bring in more online retailers to meet exhibitors, and celebrate and shine a light on two of the untapped areas of licensing - brands & lifestyle and gaming," commented brand director Anna Knight. "We’re very happy to say we’ve ticked all of those boxes and are already brainstorming plans to build on this year’s successes.

We’re hoping to announce a new theme for 2018 early in the new year, so watch this space.”

FOCUS ON...

Harrogate Christmas & Gift Fair For many years, Harrogate Christmas & Gift has boasted the position as the UK’s number one trade event for the Christmas market, as the show offers a one-stopshop for absolutely everything festive and is at the prime time of year for retailers and buyers planning for the following Christmas.

However, don’t be mistaken in thinking that exhibitors will only be presenting Christmas products, as over the last four or five years, ranges on offer include everything from garden and homeware, year-round gifts, stationery and cards, floral products, toys and novelties and even food items.

This year, visitors will be spoilt for choice with seven halls at the Harrogate Convention Centre packed with exciting new products from well over 100 exhibitors. Many of these companies have been attending the show for many years and are renowned and trusted brands; but interestingly, there are over 30 brand new exhibitors attending the show this year too.

Simon Anslow, show organiser, comments: “Visitors will be able to see all of their favourite companies such as Premier Decorations; Festive Productions; Heaven Sends and Gisella Graham to name just a few.

However, Hall Q will be a real destination this year, as it contains many of the new companies exhibiting, giving a new dynamic to the show. This includes Italian nursery company Peg Perego with rideon toys; Shatchi with Christmas ranges; Kiss the Moon with award-winning aromatherapy products; Little Nutmeg Creations with quality woodworking such as elf and fairy doors and advent calendars, and Transomnia with beautiful on-trend Christmas decorations and inspired gifts. Also returning to Hall Q this year is Culinary Concepts, which was a huge hit with visitors last year, with a fabulous range of quality products. This is just a handful of over 30 companies in this hall, plus it houses the main catering point for the show, where visitors can

grab a hot meal, so well worth a visit.”

Also new for 2018 is The Big Night Out - an evening of comedy to be enjoyed by exhibitors and visitors alike.

This ticketed event will take place at the Old Swan, Harrogate on the evening of Sunday 14 January and hilarious entertainment will be provided by top comedians Dave Spikey (co-star of That Peter Kay Thing and Phoenix Nights) and Patrick Monahan who won Show Me the Funny in 2011. Tickets are just £45 + VAT a head, and include a pre-dinner drink and a four-course dinner.

Full details about the show, and an exhibitor list, are available on the website at www.harrogatefair.com - and don’t forget to register!
