Deco-Pak to separate aggregates and birdcare at Glee

Deco-Pak is to separate its aggregates and wild birdcare ranges on adjacent stands at Glee this year.

Visitors will be able to see the company’s newly expanded Heritage Birdhouse and Wildlife Collection in full, including its specially designed merchandisers and brand new point of sale.

By splitting the two offerings, the family-run company is hoping to facilitate buying decisions for garden centre, department store and gift buyers.

Deco Pak’s general manager, Rod Slater, said: “The additional exhibition space is an extra expense for us - but one we are confident will allow us to provide visitors with the best possible experience. The introduction of our birdhouse range in 2013 was a risky move away from our core aggregate business but it has more than proved to have been a savvy decision. We now have a product offering that stretches across a range of retailers – from garden centres and builders merchants, to department stores, supermarkets and gift stores – helping us to further build our profits and long-term future.

 “Trade shows like Glee are all about showcasing products as they might be sold. For retailers it will be much better for them to view the ranges separately, as they would in-store, making buying decisions that much easier. Our goal this year is to make sure our retail partners choose the right ranges to suit their business, pick up inspiration from our examples of retail theatre and generally get more out of the show than ever before.”
