What did the exhibitors think of Brighton Baby Show?

• I have to say, Brighton Rocks!  It was better than any baby show that I have attended in London!  Please think of us for any future events. Amanda’s Action Kids
• It was a great event and enabled very small companies like ourselves to attend where as the cost of other baby shows are just way out of our league…we sold more at Brighton Baby Expo than any advertising we have done so well worth it!  Teeny Tiny
• Great show, we had some lovely comments from the visitors to our stand. Sales were really good on the day, and we have already had some post-show sales on our website from visitors that saw us. Looking forward to next year. Celeste Children
• I thought the show was great, in fact it was one of the best ones…and I have done both the Earls Court and the Excel Baby Shows in 2007 and 2008. Jambles
• I just wanted to say thank you for such an excellent show on Sunday!  It was the best show we have done to date and your support has been amazing!   South East Childcare
• Sponsoring and exhibiting at Brighton Baby Expo has given our business an incredible boost - we took record takings on the day and the enquiries and resultant after-sales have been phenomenal. One customer said she had seen us on the BBE website and so came along to try the product in person. As an Internet-only business this sort of opportunity is worth gold to us! We will definitely be signing up for the next one, and the professional organisation, extensive press coverage and smooth running of the day make this a very easy decision! Mummy Looks Fab
• I felt I must drop you an email to say a big Thank You for an amazing exhibition. Not only was it well organised from booking to the day itself, but the whole atmosphere was really happy and buzzing.  We had a very successful day, as I hope other exhibitors did, and would be more than happy to work with you at future events. You and your team deserve a huge pat on the back!!!  It’s a pleasure to work with a professional organisation like SMB Events.   Venture Portraits
• The Baby Expo was a great exhibition..not only did I get to meet my potential customers in a very focused targeted professional environment but I also was able to network with other similar businesses. I achieved as much in one day as I could have hoped to in a month and I feel that being able to reach my customers and talk to them in that way meant I got great value for money on a cost per customer!

• I had a very positive report back - may I take this opportunity to thank you for all your hard work and professionalism. It was a pleasure working with you. FQ Magazine
• At Little Dish we love to speak to Mums and Dads face-to-face and exhibiting at the Brighton Baby Expo allowed us to do exactly that. It was a wonderful fun family day out.  Little Dish
• Thank you so much for yesterday - we made sales, collected donations, spoke to hundreds of mums and we had lots of interest in the PJ 5k which was fantastic. On top of that we also managed to network with local businesses. We are very keen to continue this next year!  CLIC Sargent
• Many thanks for running a very good show. We were busy all day & the children really enjoyed themselves. WOW
• We’re really pleased with the Expo, the event was really busy, plus we had a huge amount of interest in our nurseries so was an excellent day for us. Early Years Nurseries
• Well done on such a brilliant show, I had some fantastic comments on our stand and products so well done.  kitchenmonkey.co.uk
• Really enjoyed today. You did a super job, I have done the last 8 Brighton Baby Shows (since 2000) and today's stands head and shoulders above for all reasons. Well done.  Sing and Sign
• Well done ! Great event - everybody I have spoken to had a really good day.  It was a pleasure to be involved with such a professional and organised bunch – ABC Magazine 

• The Brighton Baby show was fantastic, well worth the trip – such a nice vibe and a great bunch of people exhibiting - made the London Show seem very bland. I’ll def be at the next one !
• I had a great day - got to test out prams, found the birthing pool I wanted, put my name down for NCT and met a really nice lady about home births which was great. It was a splendidly organised event - can I put my name down for next year??
• Thank you for your help. Everything worked out well with pre-entry and the Show was excellent although at times over-crowded.
• Well done you!! Baby Expo was great fun, we spent a lot and learnt a lot (now we need to rob a bank!!)
