International Opportunities at U.K.’s Autumn Fair
Birmingham, England – The Autumn Fair, one of the UK’s key pre-holiday season gift and home shows, will be held from September 7–10 at the National Exhibition Center in Birmingham, England. In addition to filling out their fourth quarter merchandise needs, retailers will be able to preview product launches for 2009 from among the more than 2,000 exhibiting companies. The show will be divided into two selling zones: Living and Giving. The Giving Zone will include halls for gifts, design-led gifts, greetings & stationery, jewelry & fashion accessories, volume buying, and toys. The Living Zone features halls for kitchen and dining, and home interiors and art.

The show also represents a profitable sales opportunity for American exhibitors due to the exchange rates on the dollar.  North American companies seeking international growth have the opportunity to increase publicity and consumer support as American products become more competitive in international markets.
