THE BENEFITS OF EXHIBITING AT CRE
With over 24 years experience in exhibition management Christian Resources Exhibitions (CRE) are the UK’s leading event Organisers for church suppliers, charities and mission agencies. CRE provides unparalleled face-to-face opportunities for its exhibitors to make contact with new customers or supporters as it reaches over 21,000 visitors during its three annual exhibitions. In 2008 CRE will be held at the International Centre Telford; Sandown Park, Esher and the YEC, Harrogate.
Who will you meet at CRE?
If numbers were the only criteria for assessing the value of exhibiting at an exhibition then CRE would pass with flying colours. CRE however, offers more than that. It’s the calibre of people visiting that makes CRE such an important place to be seen.
- At least 77% of visitors either influence or make the final decision when choosing products or services for their church or which charities to support.
- 75% of visitors are there to find new resources or services with around 40% looking to address a specific need in their ministry.
- 35% of visitors are ordained clergy – generally regarded as one of the most difficult sectors to reach with other marketing methods.
- 38% of visitors come as part of a team from their church – making on the spot decisions more likely.
- 91% of visitors expect to get ideas and inspiration from CRE – it’s up to you to make sure they’re not disappointed.
