Emma and her team are dedicated to providing AIS Members with the best offerings, using trend forecasting, customer insight, and member visits to inform their product selections. This allows to the team to provide members with products that meet their needs, and reflect consumer buying patterns and trends.
AIS look forward to supporting members with “refreshing and enticing” new products at the next INDX Furniture Show, taking place at Cranmore Park on 28-29 August 2024.
“We’ll be showcasing new products through our online membership Hub. We’ll be bringing together trend and innovation-led product showcases across upholstery, living room, dining room, garden, and accessories.” Emma commented.
Emma continued “INDX Furniture attracts a high calibre of both visitors and exhibitors – the show is curated by buyers, for buyers, which results in quality conversations and long-lasting business relationships being formed.
What also makes our show unique, is that visitors have access to the team’s expertise and advice during the live shows – you will always see the team and I on the show floor talking to Members and Suppliers.”
Running Wednesday to Thursday, the first day of the show will be reserved exclusively for AIS Members, and the team looks forward to welcoming general trade colleagues across on the Thursday.
