This year’s Auckland Home Show is at the Auckland Showgrounds from September 5-8 and it’ll attract tens of thousands of DYI enthusiasts and professionals.
With more than 40 years’ under its belt and 500 exhibitors, it’s maintained its spot as the ultimate marketplace for everything home-related.
Amanda Magnus, general manager of show organiser Exhibitions and Events New Zealand, says it’s heading for a sell-out.
“It’s the face-to-face aspect of the show that’s so important.
“Visitors can come and see thousands of actual products, talk with experts and get advice on installation … and it’s all in one place.”
She says the sales team’s filled the important kitchen, bathroom and outdoor categories and only have a few areas left.
“We make sure we don’t oversell any category, so we’re still on the hunt for some things, but we’re nearly ready to close off the sales and finalise the list for the show.
“If we accepted double-ups we could sell the show out much more quickly, but we want to offer a full range variety in every category and that’s better for everybody.”
Magnus says the show’s been around for decades because it works for visitors and exhibitors.
“Visitors know they can bring their plans and ideas and can walk away with a list of suppliers, competitive quotations and in many cases, significant discounts over what they’d pay in a showroom or retail store.”
