kelly58 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 As we are only 20 miles from the Peterboro Show we will only be going as a day visitor and not bothered which day ,so just say which day would be good for a meet up and time and we hopefully will be there.

davenewellhome Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Well I'd like to be selling cruise control and reversing cameras etc but it depends on what Warmers will allow, last year they'd only let me display about three products out of my normal range so I didn't bother in the end. i'm hoping they'll be a little more enlightened this year.

michele Posted March 23, 2008 Author Share Posted March 23, 2008 I can understand that they have to have a balance of traders BUT what is wrong with a little competition . What I dont understand is I wold rather look at three four stalls that sell the same then no bloody stalls selling nothing . And if I wanted to buy that product then I would shop for the best price and if they were the same then I would shop for the best service given to the customer ...Good luck Dave I hope you do loads of business.

Mel B Posted March 27, 2008 Share Posted March 27, 2008 But Dave, we, as your good friends, owe it to you to be honest and caring and therefore don't want to lie and get your hopes up only for them to be shattered by some mean and nasty punter at the show. As true friends we speak the truth - it is only because we LOVE you that we say these things! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davenewellhome Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Gee thanks Mel, its nice to know I'm "LOVED" 8-) . I had an e-mail back from Warners exhibitions dept yesterday, they have their "quota" of businesses selling the products I trade on and they'll put my name on the waiting list in case of a cancellation. Wonder if I could get a stand selling second hand lollipop sticks? Or crystals that can help you establish the gender fo your unborn child? Or magnetic insoles to cure your hypochondria? D.

Dave Newell Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Well put simply Michele, if they have decided they only want two companies doing cruise control, for example, exhibiting at their shows then that's it. I'm going to e-mail them back and see if I can get space for Malvern or York instead. D. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michele Posted March 28, 2008 Author Share Posted March 28, 2008 What ever >:-(same old same old personally IMHO I get fed up with the same old stalls . It all blends into one after a while . Every show is the same . I know that people who have never been must think its great but once you have actually purchased your van and you go back for the bits and bobs everyones the same . I dont really know what they could do about that personally the amount of stuffed bean pillows and braclets for ruhmatisim gets on my tits . Herbal this and that its like a village fete . They must think every camper gets a doggy neck or crick back or stiff elbow joint and the like . Maybe its me but I do think they could have alot more to keep the kids happy and alot more differnt stalls . I mean after all it makes for happy campers . Just my opinion but then I always was the gobby one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Tracker Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Restricting small traders stands is crazy when, in my view, there are generally too few independent small traders at these shows and far too many of the big flashy ones. Many of us prefer to deal with smaller independent traders and I really do fail to understand Warner's attitude. If some traders find the heat in the kitchen too much for them, then the better value for money suppliers will be happy to take up the slack. The UK is supposed to be an open society where the rules of market forces and competition apply and not a closed shop old boys association? I really fail to see how Warner's attitude will improve the show in any way - and they do need improving as they are getting very 'samey'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicka Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 The situation regarding Warners treatment of Dave Newell, borders on the restriction of trade practices. I find it difficult to understand Warner's stance on limiting the No. of Trade stands for each product range. If a Trader wishes to exhibit, they should be encouraged. After all I am sure Warners require a sizable fee from any Traders exhibiting at their shows and all of them should be able to offer the full range of their services & products. Not to do so will make the difference between being able to generate sufficient income to justify the Show fees. If this policy was extended across the whole spectrumof the show, there would only be 2 Motorhome Dealers allowed to exhibit, then where would Warner's show stand ?. Certainly it would not attract many visitors and soon disappear off the scene. (With a loss of revenue to Warners, as they do not organise these shows for the fun of it, it is a commercial operation intended to generate income) If volumes of M/H dealers are allowed to exhibit because they represent different BRANDS, the same should apply to the Accessory market. i.e if only 2 trade stands offer Reversing Camers, it will only be representative of small portion market range, whereas the M/H dealers will be able to the representative majority of the market range. Or (being cynical, again) is it the Major after-market Traders fearing competition & exerting pressure on Warners regarding their future advertising. If a trader, who has not previously attended a Show is excluded on the above basis, how is he to establish his business. Fair competition to all and widest possible selection by customers should be the policy of these shows. (Rant over) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
