It’s only been open for a day and already newsagents are other retailers are talking up the Sydney Gift Fair on right now. The Glebe Island event and the AGHA Home and Giving Fairs, both of which I had some time at yesterday, are well worth visiting. You’ll see many new ideas and extensions to existing ideas. I especially like the number of local manufacturers represented – helping us to tell a good local story.
While the size can be daunting for a first timer, you have to start somewhere. My advice if you are a first timer is have a budget and a plan as to the customers you are purchasing for. Those who have been coming for a while will commit three or four days to the events – it is well worth it.
If you’re in a newsagency marketing or franchise group check with they as they are likely to provide maps showing highlights and offers or offer to shop with you and guide you through the process.
