Exhibitor Quotes
Pulse was a great show for us. The retailers who bought from us were keen to get unusual new items where they could push their margin out further and offer something deifferent.
Patrick Newton, Director, Mullhouse (Gift, Lifestyle Brand)
I think it's a chance to show your products with time and space, not like in January and February where it's a mad rush, people can take their time. We can catch Christmas buyers who might not have been organized enough to place orders in February.
Emily Readett-Bayley, Managing Director, Emily Readett Bayley
Pulse has been a phenomenal show. I've met buyers from Habitat, John Lewis, Fenwick, Bentalls and Avoca.
Thierry Bourret, Managing Director, Asobi (Gift Children)
Pulse 2011 was Cinderela B’s first trade show and not only was it hugely successful for us in terms of orders, we were also overwhelmed by the helpfulness of the Clarion staff both in the run up to the show, and during. We gained new accounts across Europe.
Rachel Jackson, Creative Director, Cinderela B (Launchpad)
Retailer Quotes
Pulse attracts the highest number of department store buyers among the Clarion Events retail trade shows and the most discerning British and international visitors from independents, multiples, internet and mail order companies plus interior designers, agents, wholesalers and press.
"I found the show far more focused than in previous years and I actually spent more time at the show than I would normally, because the quality of exhibitors was higher. I was reinvigorated about Pulse and will definitely make even more time for my visit next year."
(Jason Attew, Head of Buying, Gifts and Decorative Accessories, JOHN LEWIS)
