Tower Systems has a stand at the Reed Gift Fair in Melbourne this weekend and through until Wednesday. If yesterday was anything to go by it will be a ripper of as success. While we are there primarily to talk to gift shops about our software, we have met with plenty of newsagents already.
A couple of newsagents I talked with yesterday made the same observation – this is the kind of fair newsagents should attend as they will see product here they will never see at a newsagent trade show.
It’s great to see so many newsagents researching the gift category. Given the size of this fair it would be hard to come away without any new products to try. While I was at the our part of the Fair yesterday I saw several suppliers offering product which I’d like us to sell in our newsagencies.
To walk a show this size properly will take at least two days. Thankfully, we have several on the team for our newsagencies and gift shops to cover the area. From what I saw yesterday there is plenty of new product and some excellent deals.
