LAST EDITION OVERVIEW
BABYCOOL PARIS GATHERED TOGETHER PROFESSIONALS IN THE BABY AND EARLY CHILDHOOD SECTOR FROM 1 – 3 SEPTEMBER 2018.
THE 15TH BABYCOOL TRADE FAIR INJECTED A NEW DYNAMISM INTO THE EVENT THIS YEAR, FEATURING A RECORD-BREAKING 267 BRANDS.
The Family Day, organised in partnership with our KIDIWIZ web marketing agency, attracted various social media influencers.Thanks to our partnership with LES PROS DE LA PETITEENFANCE, we were able to open the exhibition to nursery and local government suppliers.Highly coveted and increasingly renowned prizes were awarded to childcare products including the Design Prize,the Innovation Prize, & the Parents’ Prize.
The new arrival of the TOSC’ANNE Press relations agency this year was greatly appreciated by journalists.
The trade fair also featured conferences led by recognised professionals.
In conjunction with our partnership with Adress Company Baby, we carried out a consumer survey of 70,000 parents, receiving 1,282 responses.(for further information, please visit babycoolparis.com)
In total, 1,837 professional visitors were welcomed over3 days, a slight decline compared to 2017, due to the closure of several stores and the reduced number of employees invited to attend by buying syndicates, integrated supply chains, and independent retailers.
On the other hand, more buyers and decisionmakers attended this year (78% of visitors were either buyers or decisionmakers* and +3% companies attended the trade fair in 2018 compared to last year).
95% of professional visitors appreciated the organisation and hospitality of the trade fair (while 98% of exhibitors appreciated the organisation of the trade fair*).
THE Babycool Paris gala evening, which gathered together visitors and exhibitors in a convivial atmosphere, proved to be a great success.
