Treadstone Products enjoy success at Spring Fair
 
Treadstone Products, the well-respected supplier of branded garden accessories, is reporting a hugely successful Spring Fair, after exhibiting at the show for the first time. 

The company – which is renowned for supplying popular branded gardening accessories alongside clever merchandising materials – displayed its leading Laura Ashley and Peter Rabbit outdoor ranges in a retail style environment, catching the imagination of visitors to the stand throughout the 5 day event.

Commenting on Treadstone’s first experience of Spring Fair, Head of Brands Dean Winters enthused, “We had a really busy show. We met our first new customer and took an order for both the Peter Rabbit and Laura Ashley ranges within half an hour of the show opening, which proved to be a great omen for the rest of the week!”

Exhibiting in hall 5, Treadstone’s eye-catching stand showcased impactful branded retail units from both its flagship brands. Praised by visitors for the clever use of space, the stand provided ‘bricks and mortar’ retailers with a clear demonstration of how the ranges could look in store. 

“It was great to meet with such a wide variety of retailers from across so many different sectors and to see that they are just as passionate about the brands as we are” continued Dean. 

“By the end of the show, we had taken orders and enquiries from Gift shops, Garden Centres, Online retailers, Toy shops, Farm shops, Shoe shops, Distributors, Grocery and Department stores, as well as a number of visitor attractions. The real bonus for us though was the export interest shown from 10 international companies!” 

Treadstone Products offers over 500 consumer products available across a selection of branded garden-themed ranges, including Laura Ashley, Peter Rabbit and The Good Life. The company offers flexible packages and a choice of merchandising options to support retailers of all sizes at the point of sale. 

Retailers interested in working with Treadstone Products can contact the company on 01978 664 667 or email sales@treadstoneproducts.com or for more information, visit www.treadstoneproducts.com.
