As an SME, we‘re not in a position to be on the lookout for new products everywhere and at all times. Because of this, events such as the Spielwarenmesse present a special opportunity for us as they allow us to meet new vendors and get ideas for our range in a short space of time.

We had new potential customers at the booth in particular, from Germany, but also from Asia and the USA. The timing of the Spielwarenmesse is ideal for us. The fair is a valuable platform for us to cultivate relationships with our with our customers and to generate new contacts. Thanks to the neighboring booths, which have a similar customer base to ours, we generate additional synergy effects.
