Supplier Partners
At the National Self Build and Renovation Centre - our Visitor Centre - we showcase our supplier partners' products. They are used in our displays, recommended by our experts, and seen by over 25,000 visitors a year
That puts BuildStore Connections suppliers at the heart of the self-build community - of the 25,000 people who visit the centre each year, nearly 60% have already started a project, or have land and finance in place to build.
As a supplier partner, exhibiting with us for a fixed annual fee is more costeffective than buying short-term exhibition space elsewhere, and produces a measurable return on investment far in excess of what can be achieved with print advertising. In addition to your permanent display, the Visitor Centre is the perfect environment for targeted campaigns, product launches, consumer education and knowledge-building, as well as introducing innovative display techniques and meeting with journalists to promote your products. And your stand doesn't even need to be manned: visitors use barcode scanners to select the supplier information they need, and to state what action is required.
Through BuildStore Connections, you'll have the unique ability to pass contacts through to our accredited network of merchant partners. So, as a supplier or manufacturer, you can focus on marketing and promotion, and leave the merchant partners to process and fulfil the orders. It's a truly joined up way of doing business.
