INDX 39 BUSINESS focus Who: INDX Accessories, indxshow.co.uk/accessories Where: Cranmore Park Conference & Event Centre, Solihull When: 24 th -25 th March, 2020 The last INDX Accessories show recorded cumulative order values in excess of £1.2 million with over 90% of the buyers who visited the show placing orders. As INDX reaffirms its order writing status, organiser Amanda Adams reflects on the success of the show, “Keeping the show professional and business focused is undoubtedly the key to our continued success. The INDX approach to tradeshows is unique and unparalleled and as such, we have cemented our position as a key buying show and a must-visit in the seasonal show calendar. “In contrast to other industry shows, INDX maintains a strict admission policy which only permits access to bona fide retailers and we remain committed to bringing together serious buyers and commercial brands in a relaxed and informal environment.” The last show attracted buyers representing a cross section of retail, from department stores and high-end garden centres to quality indies and e-tailers, and the March 2020 show promises to deliver a wide and diverse exhibitor selection to satisfy all levels of the market. Amanda continues, “INDX is continually evolving and in parallel with visitor spending patterns, we are re- addressing the balance of the product being offered at the next show to include more ranges that are available for immediate delivery. Whilst a large proportion of buyers visit INDX to place forward orders, there are an increasing number who are choosing to buy closer to the season and it is our job to cater to both.” To date, returning suppliers who have already confirmed their attendance include Kipling, David Jones, Gianni Conti, Fraas, Envy Bags, Bessie London, Skyflite, Totes, Boardmans, Fulton, Jewn, Jewel City, Golunski, Pia Rossini, Peony, Woodbridge Bags and Sabbot Headwear. The show will also host welcome returns from J&K Henderson and Franck Harval and introduce some exciting debuts from brands such as It’s a Dogs Life and House of Shen. The next edition of INDX Accessories will take place at Cranmore Park in Solihull from the 24 th -25 th March 2020. 39 INDX Accessories is set to open its doors to serious buyers from a cross section of retail, with a focus on business in an informal environment key to the show’s continued success
