Shop for Something Different

The best just got better!

We’re always on the lookout for innovative ways to help our stallholders and commercial partners reach even more customers, and this year we’ve come up with a brand new facility for the Shop For Something Different shopping marquees and events.

Shop For Something Different – now with goody bags!

Our new, ‘done-for-you goody bag service’ gives you the chance to get your quality merchandise, offers and marketing campaigns straight into visitor’s hands, regardless of whether they visit your stand or not.

In fact, you don’t even need to have a stand at all. If, for whatever reason you’ve decided you can’t have a stand at one of our events, but love what Shop For Something Different stands for and the discerning customers we attract, goody bags are the next best thing to actually being there yourself.

We take care of everything for you

We’ll have a clearly marked stand at every event with staff to hand out free Shop For Something Different branded goody bags to visitors packed with samples, vouchers and promotional items.

It could be your products and promotional items in the goody bags as we’re introducing a complete fulfilment and distribution service at every one of the 32 events we’ll attend throughout 2018.

If you love the idea of goody bags but want to stand out even more, you’ve also got the option of making up your own bespoke bags. You could even have them personalised to your brand! Just deliver your bags to us and we’ll do the rest!

Looking for a great marketing opportunity – it’s in the bag!

Added value

Goody bag samples are a low-cost and well-targeted method of introducing your products to potential customers and are seen as ‘added value’.

Try-before-you-buy

When coupled with a money-off voucher for redemption against the full sized, full price stock, samples create the opportunity to build customer loyalty and work particularly well with the type of premium products on offer through Shop For Something Different.

Get straight to a prime target audience

Our events are known for not only being very well attended, but also for attracting people who are looking for high quality and original items. Shop For Something Different shopping marquees attract genuine shoppers, not just ‘browsers’.

Make your marketing spend work even harder

Putting a stall together is an investment of time, effort and money and whilst we know that Shop For Something Different events prove to be good value for stallholders, wouldn’t it be even better if you could reach more people and give them something to remember your by after the show has moved on?

Build your customer base

Goody bags full of vouchers and coupon codes give the opportunity to share through supported website and social media based redemption offers, extending the feel-good event experience long after the doors have closed.
