Exhibitor events programme for PSP SBS

BOAT SHOW: Last year saw the first Exhibitor Evening Event programme at the Southampton Boat Show. The events were devised by National Boat Shows (NBS) and its consultant for the events, Assorti Ltd, to give exhibitors and those working at the show the opportunity to wind down in an evening after a hard day's work at the show.

The events are also a great networking opportunity with other businesses in the marine industry and the opportunity to entertain/spend some social time with clients also exhibiting at the show. Some companies, says NBS, simply use the events programme for team entertainment; and why not?

And as each event is also supported by at least two members of the NBS team it’s a good time for them to spend time with you, the exhibitors.

In September last year the most popular events by far were the Honda Rideout and the Indoor Karting Team Challenge. The programme was then adapted for the Collins Stewart London Boat Show this January with popular events such as:- an evening at Jamie Oliver’s Fifteen restaurant, an evening at Wathamstow Greyhound racing stadium and of course, Indoor Karting Team Challenge.

Some of the original teams from the Southampton challenge were there to battle it out for the winning trophy – not at all in the least bit competitive!

At this years’ PSP Southampton Boat Show NBS is confident the programme of Exhibitor Evening Events will appeal to all:

Saturday 13 September – 40th Boat Show Celebration BBQ/Party

Tuesday 16 September – Honda Rideout

Wednesday 17 September – Indoor Karting Team Challenge

Friday 19 September – Trip Over To The Isle Of Wight

For further details on each event please contact Andrea Williams at Assorti Ltd on 01753 840680/078555 25976 or email sbs@assorti.co.uk

And the benefits of sponsoring an Exhibitor Evening Event?
NBS says in the current economic climate many companies cut back on advertising and sponsorship budgets, but, but this is a false economy.

The Meadlake Place team says while you cut back on advertising, your competitors continue to advertise and thus maintain, and even increase, their profile.

When your potential customers are looking to buy they will opt for the company they most recently remember, and it may not be you!

Sponsors of Exhibitor Evening Events will increase brand awareness by promoting your business through the following:
