Housewares Business-to-business magazine for housewares retailers and their suppliers
Independent retailers visiting INDX Homewares, curated by Associated Independent Stores (AIS), on 12th and 13th September will be granted access to a number of first-to-market exclusive offerings across Kitchen & Dining, Small Electricals, Home Textiles, Soft Furnishings, Home Accessories, Pets and more.
Over the last 10 years, AIS has been committed to continually creating a strong purchasing atmosphere for members. To enhance show accessibility a range of layout changes have been implemented for the summer show. This will include the relocation of Cookshop and Tabletop to be situated next to each other for consistency and simplicity. Linens, Softs and Home Gift suppliers will all be exhibiting in the Platinum Suite, zoned by category to assist members in locating desired products.
The summer show is set to see a number of new exhibitors including silverware brand Studio William and candles supplier Charles Farris. A number of key exhibitors are also set to return and bring with them a first-to-market offering, such as fragrance specialist Wax Lyrical and curtain supplier Ashley Wilde.
Rachel Breen, head of homewares division, said: “After such a strong February edition we’ve made it a priority to build upon the strengths to deliver value for our visitors and exhibitors and we’ve made sure to feature the best of the best from our key suppliers.
“Created by buyers for buyers, INDX Shows are known for being welcoming, intimate and friendly, as well as the place where independents can get an edge on the big high-street stores. Being able to bring such a strong offering of first-to-market products to our members is extremely valuable to the support we offer them.”
Several Electrical and Cookshop product demos will be in action throughout the two days, demonstrating a range of cookery and drink-making items. Included in the line-up is Kuhn Rikon who will be illustrating how to use a number of cooking gadgets & quality cookware to create culinary delights for you to taste on the day!
AIS members will be given access to exclusive prices, products and promotions including competition entry to win a comprehensive audit of their brand and store from leading trend agency, Scarlet Opus. Such guidance will help one very fortunate winner gain foresight into upcoming trends and how best to structure product offering to achieve success in the current buyer climate.
