Choice Marketing readies ‘Meet the Furniture Buyer’ event

Choice Marketing is hosting its own ‘Meet the Furniture Buyer’ event next week in Northamptonshire, where a number of its associate suppliers will be exhibiting. 

 

Michelle de Lavis-Trafford, CEO of Choice Marketing, said “In the absence of trade shows right now, which are an absolute necessity, we decided to create our own event for Choice members, saving enormous time travelling around the country to visit supplier showrooms.  In an informal and relaxed, covid-safe, atmosphere, Choice members will be able to browse new collections for 2022, chat to suppliers and to place orders for the 2022 season.  Long over-due member networking is also essential.”

 

Due to covid restrictions, space was limited and was sold out within a day.  Good membership attendance is also expected. Tim Armstrong of Highfield Garden Centre said he was looking forward to the event, which will be of huge benefit to their business and is one of the great benefits to being a member of the group.

 

Steve Potter of suppliers Glencrest said: “We too are looking forward to next week’s event.  To be able to see so many customers under one-roof is an enormous benefit and we look forward to continuing the growth of our business with Choice members”.

 

De Lavis-Trafford added “Choice has run these type of events for a few years now, and they have always been a great opportunity to put members and suppliers in touch in a relaxed and friendly environment and strengthens supplier relations”.

 

Garden centres who would like to know more about the benefits of membership of Choice Marketing, or are interested in meeting up at our event next week, should contact Michelle de Lavis-Trafford here.
