The great thing about the TNT Travel Show is that there are no tyre kickers. People coming to the show come to book. And this year we took 19 times more bookings than in 2010, which is a fantastic return.

We pay a premium to be at the TNT Travel Show, but it is definitely worth it, as the return on investment is excellent. People actually come to buy.
The TNT Travel Show is our major direct-marketing campaign of the year and it feels bigger and better than ever. Earls Court is a great venue.

James Nathan TOPDECK
We are really pleased with the outcome and have run out of everything! We are really looking forward to next year, as we sell a lot more here than we do at other shows. This year’s venue at Earls Court looks so much more professional.

TNT TRAVEL SHOW MEDIA PACK 2012
EXHIBITOR PACKAGES With the change of venue to the Earl’s Court Exhibition Centre for 2011, TNT provided an even bigger platform for the show and, of course, a much bigger floor plan.
MARKETING PACKAGES Standard - Free to all exhibitors Ë Web listing/link on Show Website Ë Show programme listing Ë Bumper TNT Show Listing Mid-Range - £495 + VAT Ë Web listing/link on Show Website Ë Show Program Quarter Page Ë Bumper TNT Show Quarter Page Premium - £1,895 + VAT Ë Web listing/link on Show Website Ë Show Program Half Page Ë Bumper TNT Show Half Page Ë Post Show Mailer to delegate list Ë Leaflet/Flyer in Visitor Bag
Ë This years’ floor plan sees many larger ‘island’
stands available to those exhibitors who want a more prominent floor position and to maximise their engagement with the audience. ËThese larger stands can effectively be any size
and can be purchased as shell scheme build or simply as ‘Space Only’.
SHELL SCHEME OPTION – £335 PER M2 +VAT SPACE-ONLY OPTION – £295 PER M2 +VAT ‘Space only’ is as it suggests – it is just the carpeted floor space. You are responsible for the furniture, power supply and stand design. The ‘space only’ option is significantly cheaper as we know that you will need to spend money on developing what your area is going to look like.
