JEWELLERY & WATCH AND FASHION
WHAT IS JEWELLERY & WATCH AND FASHION?
Jewellery & Watch and Fashion is the UK’s largest dedicated jewellery and watch trade event, welcoming more than 17,000 visitors through the doors of the Birmingham NEC, to trade with 350 exhibitors over the course of 5 days.
What is a tradeshow?
At a tradeshow exhibitors offer their products at wholesale cost to visitors. This means that products are sold in bulk and at a lower price than the RRP. Visitors (retailers) are then able to sell those products in their stores directly to the customer.
In the case of Jewellery & Watch and Fashion, exhibitors are often companies that manufacture their own jewellery, watch and fashion products and visitors often own or work at independent retail stores, multiples, department stores or online stores.
Why go to a tradeshow?
A tradeshow offers exhibitors the opportunity to display their products to a large audience over a short period of time, to take wholesale orders at the show, and to build industry contacts and leads for future sales.
A tradeshow offers visitors the opportunity to meet their existing suppliers, discover new exhibitors and products and to place orders at the show or at a later date.
Wholesale Trading
At Jewellery & Watch and Fashion there will be 350 exhibitor stands located in Halls 17 and 18 of the NEC, grouped together in their appropriate sectors.
Each business owns a stand and will use this to display their products as they choose.
Our 17,000 visitors enter the arena and walk around to trade and do business with exhibitors whose products they like.
Keynote speeches, seminars and one-to-one business advice
Visitors can attend seminars from successful names in the industry and there will be opportunities advertised to receive some one-to-one business advice from these industry leaders. All seminars are free of charge and based on a first come first serve basis.
The only exception may be if we are running specific workshops, as these spaces are limited.
Once those wishing to attend have registered for the exhibition they will also be required to book a slot, via the show website, for their workshop of choice.
