AIS shows are important to Wax Lyrical and allow us to have meaningful engagement with our customers and help build long term relationships with members. The team at AIS are hugely supportive of the event and are always there to lend a hand should the unexpected arise.
INDX Accessories is a really good show, with lots of inspirational stands, and not forgetting the incentive of free parking! A lovely atmosphere to buy in and altogether an extremely enjoyable visit. Thank you to all the very hard working staff who contribute to the whole experience.
I have been involved with AIS shows for 10 years and always found them to be professionally organised, a great place for buyers to select ranges and manufacturers to display the latest product. It is also a warm and friendly environment offering both buyers and manufacturers networking opportunities.
The INDX Housewares Show is vital to our business and the AIS team provide an ambience which is warm and inviting. It gives us a place where we can focus on the upcoming season, see the suppliers on a one-to-one basis to view their product. We always find great deals which provides us with strong promotions to attract customers to our stores. It’s also always good to catch up with fellow retailers and be able to network too. With free car parking and onsite catering, you can relax and focus on the business in hand.
I've always found the Housewares show in the Summer a great place to meet with current & future business partners. After being a proud supplier to the membership over many decades the Housewares show continues to evolve & blend both traditional & innovative ideas in the ever changing retail scene. Newness is the key to current and future business success and INDX is the place to be showcasing what's new for Autumn & Beyond.
Year on year INDX Kidswear gets better and better, striving to give us retailers the best we can get. Please keep up the good work!
