Growth in Exhibitor’s Satisfaction
Exhibitor’s Comments
“We were thrilled to grab new business partners from the beginning of the fair despite the fact that it was our first time to join this exhibition. We decided to exhibit because the fair was held in Tokyo which attracts large number of buyers. It was also a perfect timing for us to showcase our products that were all new!”
(Kitchen Tool Manufacturer / Japan)
“We support designers who can create products with premium quality. We expect the designers to obtain business opportunities overseas by utilizing this precious chance. Visitors told us that our items were very useful and our booth seemed successful. We were happy that there were many buyers visiting our booths. It was also great to know what sort of design is favored and the general market needs in Japan. We would like to exhibit at its sister fair Interior Lifestyle Tokyo as well.”
(Designer’s Group Organizer / Korea)
