Join us for an exclusive meeting with retail buyers and import merchandising directors from leading international home improvement chains

The Buying Day is an international business-to-business program designed to provide an efficient forum for suppliers who want to expand their market share and for retailers who want to find innovative new suppliers.

Because of the individual appointment format, the Buying Day is limited to 40 suppliers.  For suppliers, the Buying Day offers a chance to be one of the limited number of suppliers to have intimate meetings with the purchasing decision-makers of leading retailers.

The Buying Day enables suppliers to...

·         Introduce their company, products & new merchandising programs.

·         Receive intimate, first-hand responses to questions about the export potential of their products.

·         Build stronger relationships.

·         Discuss new merchandising programs and concepts and conduct research with international peers.

 

HOW IT WORKS
In a private meeting space provided by the National Hardware Show, suppliers will have individual meetings with the following participating retailers...

 

Retail participants:

  • B&Q - U.K.

  • Focus DIY – U.K.

  • Globus – Germany

  • Homebase – U.K.

  • Komeri - Japan

Retail buyers are at separate locations.  Each supplier is provided an approximate meeting time for each retailer during which you will have the opportunity to introduce your products and programs and schedule follow-up meetings for in-depth discussions and product presentations.  Follow-up meetings can be held at the suppliers booth at the National Hardware Show.

There is an nominal registration fee of $2000 per company.  For more information please contact:
