Preview Delivers Again Euroslot November 2009
It was a positive Preview, according to the exhibitors. Visitor numbers were up on last year and the first day of the show was particularly busy. “Overall we have been extremely pleased with the feedback we received from exhibitors. We are already gearing up for next year’s exhibition which will take place slightly later on October 20-21,” says Ylva Howard, show organiser.
Here are some of the comments received from this year’s exhibitors:
“This was the first time we exhibited at Preview and we found the experience very positive. Our products were well received and there was a good level of interest now only from the UK but from some other countries as well. We got a good number of enquiries and found the show to be focussed and meaningful.” Brian Costigan – Almotech
“Although Preview was on just one floor this year, the attendance figures were high and the quality of people that I saw was the best in years. From arcade to bingo and casino, we saw a very wide range of customers on our stand – particularly on the first day. And it was refreshing to find that there wasn’t as much doom and gloom as there has been in the past. In fact, there was real interest and optimism about Category C and we did take orders during the show. We were also really pleased with the response to our bingo products. To conclude, I would say we were quietly surprised at how good the show was and how many great people were there.” Alan Rogers – Astra Games
“Barcrest Group enjoyed a very positive reaction to its new games at the Preview recently, which were demonstrated on the stands of its distributors MDM Leisure and Crown Direct/Deith Leisure. We were delighted with the feedback we received from visitors and our distributors supported and promoted our products with great enthusiasm. It was a very successful show for Barcrest Group!' Tim Kennedy – Barcrest Group
“Historically Preview has been really useful for us, unfortunately the current difficult trading conditions have meant that the last two shows have not been as good for Crown Direct. That said, we found the exhibition to be as well organised as ever and we also gained real value from getting in front of our customers and being able to discuss their needs and requirements.” Dean Harding – Crown Direct
“The Preview is our favourite show as FatSpanner's market is predominantly the UK. This year we had our best show ever. Our stand has never been as busy and for the first time in FatSpanner's history our sales hit the triple digits. However, the Dab For Life Bingo terminals, endorsed by the Breast Cancer Campaign charity, stole the show. Everyone congratulated us on the product and site testing with a major Bingo player was agreed at the show.” Alfio Monterosso – Fatspanner
“Preview was a great success for Gamestec. It was a fantastic opportunity to showcase a range of exclusive products and services and to meet with key customers in excellent surroundings. Preview is the foremost ‘networking event’ in the industry calendar and this year was no exception. The organisers worked very hard to stage a professional show against a challenging economic backdrop and they delivered high quality visitors.” Peter Davis - Gamestec
'It was the sixth time RLMS Sales has exhibited at Preview and we were overwhelmed with the level of support we received from both new and existing customers. We found that visitors to our stand had an optimistic outlook about the current state of our industry and were very intereted in the brand new products we had on display for the very first time. With a wide range of products for all markets, we feel that Preview is a perfect way for us to showcase the best the industry has to offer. As always we found the show to be extremely well organised for both exhibitors and visitors and look forward to doing it all again at Preview 2011.' Martyn Allsop – RLMS
“The Preview this year was a well timed opportunity for Sega to demonstrate to the trade it's new and expanding product portfolio. The addition of pushers, air hockey and basket ball games, shooting galleries and more has been well received - the message was clear and it was an extremely good platform to do this. Attendance on the first day was better than expected and sales were received. Time is now to evaluate if they were additional sales and if they will get shipped before Christmas - then the true benefit of the investment can be assessed. The show itself was well executed and organised as ever.” Justin Burke – Sega Amusements Europe
“Sound Leisure had an extremely positive show this year. We always feel that the Preview offers a superb platform to network and to show our latest products and this year was no exception, in fact if anything we found it better than ever, the single floor layout seemed to enhance the atmosphere.” Chris Black – Sound Leisure
