Why a visit means retailers can meet consumer needs and wants.
An influx of exhibitors booking for next month’s BETA International is set to give visiting retailers first look at the industry’s freshest designs.
“We’ve seen a surge of really interesting companies booking to exhibit,” said BETA’s Claire Williams.
“Retailers will find so many potentially profitable products under one roof – and, after all, that’s the most compelling reason to visit the show next month.”
