Why Exhibit?
Over 15,000 babies were born in Bristol, Bath and North Somerset in 2006. Exhibiting at the Little Monster Baby & Toddler Show is an extremely cost effective method of reaching your target market. For less than the cost of a small advertisement in a national magazine, you can speak directly to your target audience and showcase your products and services. It’s a great opportunity to increase your brand’s awareness, market your products/services face to face and drive direct sales. Plus, create new customer leads for future business, conduct market research and make new business contacts.
2009 will be the third year the show has run in Bristol. In 2008 we introduced free balloon modelling and face painting for pre-school children. This helped to encourage high footfall and lengthen the time people spent at the show.
Venue
The Dolman Exhibition Hall at Bristol City Football Club is a well known venue. The hall is 1700m² with natural light, and on the ground floor ensuring easy access for exhibitors and visitors. There's a refreshments bar and seating area and an adjoining room will be used for demonstration and activities.
There is ample free parking for 500 cars. Ashton Gate Stadium is two miles from the centre of Bristol, and easily accessible from the rest of Bristol, Bath and the motorway network.
