Answers

How long are the meetings?
Your meetings will be between 10 minutes – 15 minutes. You will be surprised how even 10 minutes can be enough time to get that vital first introduction, stimulate interest in your product or service and agree a course of action…

 

Can I bring a colleague?
Our basic fee structure is always a cost per delegate – which means you can double the amount of appointments you have – so meeting more buyers in one day…

 

How much does Meet the Buyers cost?
Standard Meet the Buyer events start at £100 + VAT however due to the substantial support from The City of London Corporation if you are based in Camden, Islington, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Southwark, Lambeth or Westminster the cost to attend is just £50 + VAT. If you are unsure if your company falls under these boroughs please get in touch. 

 

How many buyers will be there on the day?
Between 25-30. We do experience buyer cancellations at times which are very frustrating for all parties concerned. We do make it crystal clear to buyers that they must nominate a deputy to attend should anything happen to affect their attendance that is beyond their control.

 

Can I bring my products to show the buyers?
Yes, as long as you can easily move them from stand to stand and carry them around with you during the day as we cannot guarantee safe storage at all venues.

 

Is lunch included?
Lunch and complimentary refreshments are provided.

 

When should I arrive?
At least 20 minutes before your first appointment so you can register, settle in and locate the buyers booths.

 

When do buyers get to see what suppliers they will be meeting?
Buyers will be shown their appointments prior to the event if they request to see them. If this is not the case their appointment diary will be up on their buying booth when they arrive, complete with a full list of suppliers and their business descriptions.
