ℹ️ Review of P'tit Clown 4th participation at the Spielwarenmesse Nuremberg trade fair 🤡
It was personally my 2nd edition at the world's largest toy fair🌍, which took place from January 30th to February 3rd. We participated with the resources of a family-owned company, meaning with all our heart in the stand that we designed and set up ourselves, and with a modest but valiant team of 2 people on site, including Christophe Jombart and then Vincent MAGRO. When I compare it with some of our competitors who came with a delegation of more than 20 people (equivalent to 2 soccer teams combined), I think we have therefore focused on quality rather than quantity.
Our unique objective on site: to develop our business outside of France. With 85% of our turnover generated in France, P'tit Clown still has a lot to do to continue its export development🚀.
It is customary to say that large trade fairs of this type are becoming less effective with decreasing traffic. However, one month after packing up our stand, I have a very positive initial assessment of Nuremberg 2024 :
➡️ Beyond the visibility with the 70,000 professionals who traverse the aisles, we returned with many qualified prospect contacts, the majority of whom were Germans, only 4 French, and Europeans in general, from over 20 different countries.
➡️ Out of these contacts, some have already placed orders on our website ptitclown.com, coming from Germany, France, the UK, Sweden, Poland, Norway, Montenegro, Latvia, and Italy. And more orders are expected in the coming weeks. The amount of orders placed have already reached the costs generated by the show⚖️.
➡️ Having offices in Normandy 🐄 has many advantages but also some drawbacks. The most significant of these is not being able to easily see some of our clients located in Georgia, DOM TOM, Iraq and all over Europe. This trade fair is therefore the perfect opportunity for an annual meeting !🥂
➡️ P’tit Clown sells 3,500 references spread across what we call the permanent collection, as well as the two major highlights of Halloween and Christmas. Our Halloween catalog with over 1,000 references is what generates the most interest, especially with our dozens of automatons 🧟♀️ and giant structures 💀, creating a "wow" effect !
